- Main Features:
- Versatile Playback - The MP-800U offers multi-format playback via its front-panel SD card slot and USB flash drive port. Compatible file types include WAV, MP3, and AAC.
- Bluetooth® & USB DAC Made Easy - With the optional AK-BT2 Bluetooth adapter, the MP-800U handily streams Bluetooth® audio into any installation. Plus, its USB DAC lets you connect any USB equipped device - such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets - via the front panel USB-C port, enabling additional playback options like accessing music libraries on computers.
- Tune In With FM - The MP-800U features a built-in FM Tuner, providing easy access to radio broadcasts. Its dedicated tuner output, via unbalanced RCA connectors, allows seamless integration with any audio system. Easily recall up to twenty user preset channels from either the front panel or the remote control.
- Flexible Outputs - Equipped with balanced and unbalanced outputs, the MP-800U can integrate quickly and easily into a variety of audio systems. With two output level controls - one for XLR, RCA, and headphone outputs combined, and another for independent tuner attenuation - this media player delivers smooth and precise level adjustments.
- Professional Playback Functions - Pro-level playback is at the core of the MP-800U. Power-on-Play automatically starts playback at startup, while fade-in/fade-out ensures smooth track transitions. Auto-Cue, Auto-Ready and Incremental Play keep your playlists primed, Key Original alters pitch without changing speed, while pitch control adjusts both tempo and key.
- Q-SYS Control (integration under development) - Currently under development, the plugin will integrate the MP-800U with the Q-SYS Platform using the optional IF-E100 Ethernet card, allowing full playback control directly from the Q-SYS User Control Interface. Access transport functions, source selection, and file navigation through Q-SYS without touching the hardware, thus streamlining operations in many commercial AV environments like conference centers, hospitality spaces, and houses of worship. The official TASCAM plugin will be available through Q-SYS Designer Software.
