The TEAC AN-300 is the noise reduction companion to TEAC's 1970s multitrack system, and this one comes from the same set as our TEAC AX-300 mixers. Built to tame tape hiss, it sits in the signal chain so multitrack productions stay clean and quiet, exactly the job it was designed for alongside TEAC's 4-channel decks and the AX-300. Solid vintage Japanese build, simple to patch in, and a genuine period-correct piece for anyone running tape or chasing an authentic analog signal chain. We have one only.
