Tascam 133

3-Channel Cassette Deck (1987-89)

The 133 is a stereo plus cue or time-code track recorder. It maintains the same track width as a standard consumer tape deck but offers a higher speed option to improve on the frequency response for mastering purposes.

It's really a bit of an oddball unit and a bit of throw-back to the days of 3 track reel to reel units in the 1950's where a singer could come in an add a vocal part to an already present stereo recording. I suppose it could come in handy for radio work where an announcer's track is needed for different background music and effects to put together spots for advertisers and I'm sure TASCAM originally aimed the 133 at that segment of the market.
