Reloop TAPE - USB MP3 recorder with phono/line input and cassette look

Reloop TAPE is a standalone MP3 recorder for DJs with a retro cassette tape look that lets you record mixes and sessions without a computer. Connect your source ( phono or line ), insert a USB stick or hard drive , and press REC : the recording is saved directly to the USB device as an MP3 . Thanks to the phono/line switch and ground (GND) connection, it can also be easily digitized from vinyl .

For booths without a REC output, TAPE features a 3.5mm “THRU” output that routes the signal to the amplifier or speakers. Selectable recording quality ( 192 or 320 kbps ) and status LEDs (power, USB, recording, signal/peak) make it easy to work in dark environments. Includes an RCA to mini-jack cable with ground , a power adapter , and sticker kits for customizing your sound.
