TASCAM, a leading provider of audio solutions for musicians, engineers, broadcast professionals, and AV system integrators, is pleased to announce the year 2021 marks the company’s 50th Anniversary. As the company that invented the home studio revolution, TASCAM products have made an irrevocable impact on the way people make music and sound. From the 4-track Portastudio to the Emmy® Award winning DA-88 Digital Multitrack and on to the company’s Model series recording mixers and more, TASCAM has redefined audio production at all levels—from the home enthusiast to high-end production facilities and leading installations the world over.

As the professional audio division of TEAC Corporation, TASCAM’s heritage dates back to the late 1960s when the Tani brothers—both engineers—and Dr. Abe (a senior engineer at TEAC) formed a special R&D group named TASC (TEAC Audio Systems Corp.) for the purpose of researching ways to apply TEAC’s recording technology for musicians and recording studios. In 1971 TASCAM (TASC AMerica Corp.) was established for the purpose of distributing TASC products in the U.S. and conducting additional market research. Then in 1974, TASCAM was absorbed by the rapidly growing TEAC Corp. of America sales and distribution company, and TASCAM became the official brand name of all TEAC recording products designed specifically for musicians and recording studios.
