Audio recorders designed to store sound information on magnetic tapes. These recorders usually consist of an electromechanical device that includes an integral microphone and/or external jacks to attach microphones, data processors, controls, recording and erasing heads, and an attached open-reel tape memory or an external slot to place a cassette. The recorders usually have playing capabilities, either through integral amplifiers and speakers or by providing output to sound reproduction systems. Tape audio recorders are available in tabletop, rack mounted, and portable versions.
