Tascam DR-701D Pro 6Track Audio Recorder For Video / Pro DSLR

The new recorder features dual built-in omnidirectional microphones, four XLR/TRS inputs with phantom power which are capable of recording up to 6 tracks simultaneously, a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack input and a multi-band limiter. It is capable of recording up to 16/24-bit, 44.1/48/96/192kHz in WAV or BWF and features a 1/4″-20 thread on the bottom for tripod mounting, removable camera or cage system attachment.

It has an HDMI input that can connect to a DSLR’s HDMI output, allowing users to record sound remotely via the camera’s HDMI signal triggering. Also, with camera’s that support timecode via HDMI, the DR-701D will follow the timecode and embedd it to the recorded file for in-post syncing. Additionally, captured audio can be synced to incoming video and timecode and the combined signal can then be connected to other monitor recorders via HDMI. The recorder can also lock to SMPTE timecode coming into its BNC connector.

The unit is powered by four AA batteries, Tascam has said that when using lithium batteries (with the internal clock, and phantom power on two inputs), the unit is able record for over 5 hours at 16-bit/48kHz. The recorder supports a variety of media cards, including SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards up to 128 GB.

The recorder also features a camera out mini-jack that allows you to record the output of the unit to your camera’s memory which can be used as a sync reference in post, and a camera-in mini-jack which allows you to playback the camera’s audio and monitor from the headphone outputs.
