Tascam DR-100 Portable Audio Recorder

Full Description

The recording level can be easily controlled by a twin hardware control rather than a menu option. Recordings can be started manually, automatically by level, advanced (by up to 2 seconds), delayed (to prevent key presses from being recorded) or with the help of a remote control. A defeatable loudspeaker for playback is also included. You can make overdubs, manually create a new file during recording, divide a recording and use locate markers. The unit is further equipped with switchable automatic analogue gain control with limiter, a three-frequencies switchable low-cut filter, headphones output, wired remote connector and USB connector.

The DR-100 comes with a 2GB SD card, wireless remote control, windshield and soft case and can be powered either by the included lithium-ion rechargeable, two easily-available AA batteries or an optional AC adapter. The built-in mic stand screw socket allows the unit to be mounted on a tripod or microphone stand.
