The new TEAC A-3440 represents another
advancement on an already widely accepted
technological base. The previous A-334OS
with SlMUL-SYNC established the populari-
ty of four channel tape decks with over-dub
capability. To a large segment of people
who are seriously involved in creative
music, both as artists and as professionals,
decks such as the TEAC trail blazing
A-334OS satisfied a need. Now the A3440
goes a step further by utilizing the ex-
perience gained from producing truly
professional tape decks, such as the TEAC
TASCAM 808, and blending in the "hands
on" experience obtained from actual
users of the A-33408. The result of this
improved mix of raw talent and product
artistry is your A-3440. TEAC wishes you
Good Luck and fine recording with your
new A-3440.
