Defining the sound of modern recording, TASCAM gear is favored by audio professionals around the world. Their gear is an ideal fit for a variety of applications, from live music to audio engineering, studio recording to broadcasting. TASCAM products cover a broad range of categories, including recording gear, microphones, headphones, live and commercial sound, video, and more.

Headquartered in California, TASCAM's roots trace back to Tokyo Electro-Acoustic Company (TEAC), an electronics manufacturer in Japan. The TEAC Corporation started TASCAM as a research and development group to discover how TEAC's recording technology could be applied to musical or recording environments. This R&D group was called TEAC Audio Systems Corp-TASC. In 1971 this group was solidified as TASC America Corporation for the purpose of distributing to the United States-and thus TASCAM got its name and started establishing its reputation for high-quality recording equipment.

Over the ensuing decades, TASCAM has made its mark on the audio production industry. It was a pioneer in home recording, creating the first cassette-based multi-track home studio recorders. Through the mid-90s, TASCAM introduced low-cost, mass-produced multitrack recorders specifically geared toward musicians, as well as reel-to-reel tape machines and audio mixers that gave home recordists the tools they needed to craft their sound outside a professional studio. Since the early 2000s, TASCAM has continued its pioneering role, developing equipment for field recording and audio for video projects.
