Otari DP-8-Z4 Cassette Duplicator

The Otari DP-8-Z4 slave cassette duplicator is the add on expansion unit for the DP-8-C3 master cassette duplicator.  The DP-8 series can copy cassettes at a rate of 16 times normal speed and the DP-8-Z4 gives four additional copy positions for each unit added on to a DP-8-C3.

The duplication system can be easily expanded by connecting the DP-8-C3 with up to 15 DP-8-Z4s. A maximum system provides a 1:63 duplication system. Also, by combining the optional Otari DP-10/DP-3 or DP-33 Digital Master Reproducer (x16) with the DP-8 series machines, the system provides high quality recordings.
