Reloop TAPE-2 Overview
Building upon the success of the original Tape recorder, the Reloop Tape 2 utilizes professional-grade 24-bit A/D converters to archive sets to either lossless WAV or MP3 (320 kb/s) formats, and is well suited for DJs looking for an easy-to-use recorder for archiving performances.
The Tape 2 features a cassette-tape-styled enclosure and an integrated lithium-ion battery with up to 6 hours of recording time on a full charge. The battery can be conveniently recharged via a standard USB power supply. Designed to be foolproof, the simple controls are easily accessed and include a switch for record format, an input gain dial, and a mode control switch with a lock function for computer transfer. The lock function prevents you from accidentally pressing stop while recording.

TAPE 2 is extremely portable thanks to the internal lithium-ion battery with up to 6 hours recording on a full charge. Charging on the go is easily handled using any standard USB power supply.

By utilising the THRU output, the audio signal can either be monitored with headphones or it can be looped through to your main speakers. This is recommended for single output audio sources that do not have a dedicated record out (REC).
As well as being an audio recording device its recording function, the TAPE 2 can also be connected to a computer and be used as card reader for microSD cards. To keep track of the recorded material, all recordings on TAPE 2 can be tagged with a timestamp with the help of the sync tool. With the included stickers it is also possible to customise the look of your TAPE 2.
