Introduction
Welcome to www.datrecorders.co.uk.
On this website you can find useful information about several of the most popular DAT recorders.
The DAT ( Digital Audio Tape ) Recorder was developed by Sony, and in 1987 Sony launched their first DAT Recorder the DTC-1000ES.

Sony stopped manufacturing DAT recorders at the end of 2005.
Since then, DAT recorders have largely been superceded by hard disk in the studios, although they are still widely in use in the film and music fields.
