DAT Recorders

With the changing face of digital recording, Sonic Sense will continue offering the latest in digital recording technologies.
and stock many popular DAT recorders, multitrack recorders and CD-Recorders as possible.While the demand continues, many manufacturers have discontinued DAT recorders, peripherals, and accessories.

In order to provide the most reasonable solutions for this current situation, we will continued seeking top-quality pre-owned recorders and accessories. As well, for those interested in newer recording systems, we will be providing numerous computer-based digital workstation products.

PRE-OWNED DAT machines:

We constantly strive to have a wide variety of finely tuned pre-owned, home and portable DAT machines on hand. As each has been thoroughly tested and inspected to be in excellent condition, and meet original factory standards and with the expectation the DAT recorders will be unavailable within a couple years, they are a very popular item.

Typically, inventory is kept relatively small as we are very selective about the machines we accept. We do not accept machines with high use or those that are not cosmetically pleasing as well as mechanically stable. However, you can expect to see several different machines each month.

We aim to keep our prices fair and provide the best quality machines available. We'll have more decks soon.
