Hands On: Casio DA7 DAT Recorder (SOS Aug 92)

muzines.co.uk

While the Casio DA7 is a budget-friendly DAT recorder that offers decent mastering capabilities, it comes with notable drawbacks. Its operating complexity can frustrate users, particularly due to the small control buttons and occasionally buggy software. However, it provides good sound quality for the price and can be a practical choice for those willing to navigate its quirks. The reviewer suggests that the DA7 may not satisfy professional engineers seeking high-end features, but for casual users or those on a budget, it is a solid option worth considering before prices rise again.
