This professional CD player operates largely along the lines of the EMT 981, still highly popular with radio broadcasting studios thanks to its wide range of facilities.

From a technical point of view, however, we have built in several new, innovative features. The new EMT 986 CD Player is equipped with a hard disk, adding many useful features and enhancing operating convenience. For example, you can create play lists, insert cues within tracks, play continuous loops and many other things. Play lists can also include tracks in both MP2 and MP3 formats.

The CD player can be integrated into existing networks to enable it to receive music files from another source, e.g. a server. Databases allow quick and easy access to titles stored on the hard disk.
