PSD230 is a portable, professional-quality CD player that lets you change the key and tempo of any CD. Never before has a CD player provided these capabilities. Simple button controls let you quickly increase tempo up to 50% or or decrease tempo by 33%. Slow down a music track as a valuable practice aid. The PSD230 also lets you change the musical key in 1/16th note increments up to one octave, without changing tempo. This makes transposing an accompaniment a snap. So it’s easy to play or sing along with a popular song in the key of one’s choice.

For even more control during practice, a segment of a track can be selected and continually replayed until mastered. Step through an entire track or CD by making the endpoint of one loop the beginning point of the next one. In addition, a voice reduction system within the unit effectively reduces the lead vocals on many CDs, allowing a practicing musician to better hear the instrumentals or a vocalist to sing along as the new lead.

A mic/line input on the PSD230 that accepts either a ¼” or XLR connection allows a microphone or an instrument to be plugged in and mixed with the CD, enhancing the practice performance. An optional foot pedal allows easier control when hands are occupied with an instrument.

The PSD220, at a lower price, is specifically designed for those situations that require tempo change only, such as aerobics, dance, and instrument practice. Both PSD220 and PSD230 include many other professional features, such as analog and digital stereo outputs for connection to powered speakers or a recording device, 3-band EQ for tone balancing, 3-way power, as well as built-in speaker and headphone jack with volume control. Play compilations recorded on CD-R or CD-RW discs.
