Tascam FR-AV4 Audio Recorder - Professional 4-track field recorder with auto mixer
The Tascam FR-AV4 Audio Recorder sets new standards in mobile audio production. Developed for professional content creators, videographers and sound engineers, this compact 4-track field recorder impresses with modern technologies, flexible connection options and intuitive operation. With the new firmware version 1.10, the FR-AV4 receives a significant function upgrade: the intelligent auto mixer. This new feature makes the recorder the ideal solution for demanding applications such as interviews, discussion groups and meetings - wherever several speakers are recorded simultaneously.
The Tascam brand - quality trusted by professionals worldwide
Behind the FR-AV4 audio recorder is the renowned Tascam brand, a globally recognized manufacturer of professional audio technology and a subsidiary of the TEAC Corporation. For decades, Tascam has stood for innovative solutions in audio recording and playback - in the studio, live and mobile applications. The company's many years of experience are reflected in every detail of the FR-AV4. The combination of robust workmanship, advanced technology and user-oriented design underlines Tascam's claim to provide reliable tools for professional audio work.
Technical highlights of the Tascam FR-AV4 audio recorder
The Tascam FR-AV4 Audio Recorder is equipped with the latest technology to ensure the highest sound quality with maximum flexibility. At the heart of the device are two A/D converters with 32-bit float resolution and a dynamic range of over 133 dB. This technology ensures detailed recordings - regardless of the volume of the sound source. Even in dynamically challenging environments, nuances are retained without clipping or distortion.
Four XLR/TRS combo sockets are available for connecting professional microphones. Each input offers individually switchable 24 V or 48 V phantom power. The ultra-HDDA preamplifiers with extremely low input noise (EIN -127 dBu) guarantee clean and noise-free signal reproduction. The integrated mixer allows the parallel recording of four individual signals and a stereo mix - up to six tracks in total simultaneously, recorded on SDXC cards with up to 512 GB capacity.
Synchronization and integration into existing setups
With HDMI integration, a built-in timecode generator and timecode inputs and outputs, the recorder can be seamlessly integrated into professional AV workflows. The HDMI trigger function enables the camera to start and stop recording automatically - a great help in everyday set-up work. For even more flexibility, several FR-AV4 devices can be cascaded via HDMI to expand the number of channels.
The FR-AV4 also impresses as a USB-C audio interface: it offers four inputs and two outputs for use with Windows, macOS, iOS and Android systems. This makes the recorder a reliable recording device with 32-bit float technology, even in the home office or studio.
New firmware update 1.10: Intelligent auto mixer for clear voice recordings
With the release of firmware version 1.10, the Tascam FR-AV4 Audio Recorder receives a decisive functional enhancement: the integrated auto mixer. This feature is specially tailored to scenarios with multiple microphone sources - such as interviews, panel discussions or discussion groups. The auto-mixer automatically recognizes which microphone is currently active, highlights it and intelligently reduces the level of unused channels. This reduces distracting background noise and significantly improves speech intelligibility.
A highlight of the auto mixer is the so-called gain sharing process: Unlike with simple attenuation, the overall volume remains stable as the gain is distributed dynamically to all microphone channels. The result is a balanced, transparent mix - even with changing speakers.
The auto mixer can be controlled both directly via the device and via the free "Tascam Recorder Connect" app. This means that users always retain control of the mix, even in complex recording situations. This update underlines Tascam's commitment to continuously develop its products even after market launch and to deliver practical functions.
The Tascam FR-AV4 Audio Recorder - A well thought-out investment
Professional audio recording in changing environments requires a device that is equally reliable, powerful and flexible. The Tascam FR-AV4 Audio Recorder fulfills these requirements in every respect. Whether in the field, in the studio or in hybrid setups - its technical features, intuitive operation and expandability via updates such as the auto mixer make it a sensible long-term investment.
The robust aluminum housing, the ergonomic operating concept with touchscreen and jog wheel, the wide range of connection options and the wireless control via app make the FR-AV4 a real all-rounder. With this device, Tascam once again proves what sophisticated audio technology can look like today: versatile, expandable and uncompromising in sound quality.
