- Tascam 488 Mk I
Hi folks
I have recently bought a 488 Mk I stated fully serviced. The motor to my ears when switched on not in use seems distractingly noisy and wondered what is normal. Even more so if adjust the Pitch. Measured 44 dB on iPhone 'db meter' app peaking at 50 dB with Pitch not at max.
Have owned the 414 in past which was not quiet but was hoping going up the range would be better.
Would be interested to hear of any quantified noise measurements eg using a phone app of their own example to judge if this is in spec or not, if not can it be improved, thanks!
