Tascam DR-100 MK3 Product Details

Description

Tascam's top-of-the-range portable stereo recorder, the DR-100MKIII, delivers the best sound quality a Tascam pocket recorder has ever had. Designed to meet the needs of the most demanding audio designers and engineers, the third-generation DR-100 combines rugged reliability with a user-friendly interface and studio-class audio quality.

Record directly from the built-in directional or undirected stereo microphones, connect your own microphones to the stable, lockable XLR/jack sockets of Amphenol, use a camera microphone or a line source for recording, or record from a digital SPDIF source. For studio condenser microphones, 24 or 48 volt phantom power is available at the XLR jacks, and midside/side-configuration microphones can be decoded before or after recording. This covers practically all application areas from music, voice and atmo recordings, conference and concert recordings.

Many other improvements and new functions as well as multilingual menu navigation make the DR-100MKIII an easy-to-use companion for high-quality sound recording.
