Tascam Announces dSLR Audio Recorder

MONTEBELLO, Calif. The DR-70D from Tascam is an audio recording solution for filmmakers using dSLRs and other cameras with little or no audio capability. With four balanced XLR mic inputs, the new DR-70D meets the requirements of production sound, from professional users to indie DSLR shooters.

The compact format can be mounted either above or below a camera, and a pair of built-in microphones can capture sound on-set. The interface is designed for quick adjustment, with additional features to keep recording levels under control.

Four XLR mic inputs with phantom power are included on the DR-70D, enough to cover busy scenes. The high-quality HDDA microphone preamps include 64 dB of gain for quiet performances, and all four inputs have individual gain controls. Each input has a limiter and low cut filter available for controlling volume. Also included is Dual Recording mode, which records a safety copy of your audio at a lower level to prevent distorted takes. Quality components like 5532 op amps are used throughout for the clearest audio possible.

Tracks on the DR-70D are captured to SD card, SDHC or SDXC media up to 128GB cards are supported. The recorder has tripod mounts on the top and bottom of the unit, allowing it to be mounted on a camera, a follow-focus cage or used standalone. Other production-friendly features include a slate tone, low-noise buttons, a powerful headphone output, and standard AA battery power.

Designed for the needs of filmmakers, television producers, advertisers and documentarians, the DR-70D packs multitrack recording into a package compact enough to use with any camera.

Four-channel recorder and mixer
