Analog Audio Design - TP-1000
Product details
The TP-1000 consists of a “completely new mechanical-electrical design” that took the company five years of development before it reached production in early 2023.
The TP-1000 is a 1/4-inch 2-track tape player — not a recorder, though AAD does offer one (the TR-1000) — and it supports 15ips and 7.5ips speeds, with switchable NAB or IEC EQ curves. The unit offers a “completely new” DC motor, sports a belt-drive design with a microprocessor for precision mechanical control, and it boasts a more modern-looking touchscreen display and user interface. The overall design and performance goals for the TP-1000 are, in Analog Audio Design’s own words, “inspired by the tape flagship [models] from Studer, Telefunken, and Tascam.”
All of the TP-1000’s mechanical parts are made in the company’s own facilities, and “all units” are assembled in their HQ in the northern region of Bretagne in France. The belt-driven reels and capstan using low-torque, Swiss-made DC motors “in the best Studer Digitec tradition,” as AAD puts it. The constant tape tension is microprocessor-controlled, in combination with a “unique” strain-gauge design that is said to maintain voltage within 1ms and with an accuracy of 0.5g.
Besides the touchscreen indicators for all of its playback parameters, the TP-1000 also features two classic VU meters. AAD supplies an optional infrared remote for the player, but the TP-1000 itself sports an RJ45/Ethernet interface so that it can be controlled via Wi-Fi on a smartphone or tablet. The integrated web server also enables internal firmware updates and external maintenance.
