Based on a One-of-a-Kind Tape Recorder
The HA 1200 TapeSat is modeled after the original unit (Serial #0232) owned by Heritage Audio’s CEO, Peter Rodriguez. The machine was purchased at the age of 19 and has remained a primary tape recorder ever since. After experiencing the superior sound quality of a professional reel-to-reel recorder, it became clear that analog tape provided the warmth and depth found in many classic albums from past decades.
Bringing Back the Warmth of the Golden Era of Recording
The HA 1200 TapeSat delivers the sought-after analog tape sound, allowing users to quickly add punch, warmth, and depth to vocals, synths, guitars, and more. Achieving the signature tonal character of the Golden Era of Recording is now easier than ever.
Instant Classic Mojo for Any Track
Analog tape naturally smooths recorded sound, enhancing the overall presence and low-end punch. The HA 1200 TapeSat faithfully reproduces this effect, providing the characteristic glue and harmonic saturation of genuine tape. With only five intuitive knobs and five different tape choices modeled after vintage NOS tapes, it is a simple yet powerful tool with endless saturation possibilities.
The HA 1200 TapeSat is the most faithful recreation of classic 2-inch analog multitrack tape recording, preserving a unique piece of analog history for generations to come.
