Mini CD Players: Several Models You May Like
Technology is always trying to find a way to be better and smaller, which has greatly benefitted the market for consumers of mini CD/MP3 players. Are you wondering how they measure up? One of the brightest stars among the new comers is the TAXCAM MD/CD1 MiniDisc/CD Combo Deck, which combines CD playback and MiniDisc recording in a single unit designed to save space in a budget-conscious package. Like all TASCAM fixed-installation products, the MD-CD1 is built to save space, while delivering high quality sound, built with durability in mind.
Some of the features of the MD/CD1 players include pitch controls for CDs (12%) and for MDs (16%) as well as digital and analog outputs, allowing both sources to be used apart from each other. CDs can be played back up to 16% faster without affecting the pitch, which is a feature that will be useful for those in the fitness industry. Although the unit comes with a wireless IR remote control, you have the option to also purchase an I/O board in order to balance the interfacing, and you have a wide selection of additional applications.
Look for bargains for the MD/CD1 in the range of $700 to $950 by shopping the internet. If you want to test the sound before purchasing, just pay a visit to your local retail store. Do your research online and bring the lowest price you can find into the retail store, and you may be surprised to find they will match the price.
At the other end of the spectrum is the Teac MP 330 – mini CD/MP3 player, which gives you the convenience of being portable, weighing just 5.6 ounces. Weighing in at just 5.6 ounces, these units are small yet powerful and use mini CD-R media. You can expect this unit to be able to store about 45 songs because of its ability to hold up to 3 times more music than regular portable CD players. This unit uses the Mini CD-R discs and then transfers them onto a standard CD-R/RW drive, which will allow you to create your own custom song list.
The Teac Mini CD/MP3 player comes with a digital equalizer and built in boost for the notes in the lower range, resulting in a quality of sound that is rich and pleasing. It comes with a built in anti-shock feature and runs on two AA batteries. The front panel of the units have both buttons and LCD lights which allow you to control the various modes such as Repeat and Intro, and comes with a 3-band equalizer. There are also controls to enable you to create your own custom playlist.
You will see somewhat of a mix in the reviews of the Teac MP 330 mini CD/MP3 players, no doubt because of its affordable price tag. They are consistently rated well for the sound they produce and for their ability to play the mini CDs as long as the unit is not moved. As with many other portable CD player systems the discs are prone to skipping when the unit is in motion. The MX300 ear bud style headphones rate high for delivering a high quality sound. As long as you are able to keep the unit in a position where is is not moved during use, this would be a product that we could recommend. It is listed at $130.00, although bargains are to be found for as low as $112.00.
