jadeclaw Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Consumer-DAT is(was) 48 and 32 kHz. Pro-DAT always could record analog in 44.1kHz. Consumer-DAT needed either an external converter or a suitable signal from another source - e.g. a CD-player. The few Consumer-DAT recorders available now can record in 44.1kHz from analog.

rirsa Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 According to the information on the Sonicsense site most manufacturers appear to have stopped making DAT recorders: http://www.sonicsense.com/datpage.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Dat is 48 kHz, isn't it?Slightly different version from jadeclaw's, same info really: Consumer DAT would record in 48kHz ["analogue" mode], 44.1kHz from digital sources minded by SCMS, and 32kHz ["analogue" LP mode] - the point being that the restriction on 44.1kHz recording meant not being able to make copies of things from analogue sources that would be suitable as [2nd-generation] masters. Mind you, that could all be easily circumvented with a sample rate convertor or external A/D. Master tapes over the past 20+ years have generally been 44.1/16.
