Tascam DR-60DmkII 4-Track Recorder/Mixer for DSLR Filmmakers Production Au

An update on the award-winning DR-60D from TASCAM, the DR-60DmkII is a portable recorder that represents the next generation of 4-track solid-state recording, built upon TASCAM’s decades of recording innovation. It's specially engineered as the audio recording solution for on-set filmmakers and videographers, its streamlined design features a tripod mounting screw on top and socket hole on the bottom, allowing integration with cameras from Canon, Nikon, Sony, and others. To prevent distortion, the camera output of this unit is attenuated down to mic level before sending it on to the camera. This latest version includes an advanced microphone preamp for up to 64 dB of gain and a smoother sound.A pair of XLR microphone inputs feed TASCAM’s inventive HDDA microphone preamps, and provides phantom power for condenser microphones. The preamp's gain as well as other controls are easily accessed from the front panel with physical controls instead of software menus for quick adjustment. These preamps are recorded at audiophile resolution using premium A-to-D converters, for audio quality that far outshines the camera audio. Individual headphone and line outputs enable an additional feed on-set.A second pair of inputs can be patched to wireless receivers or other sources for 4-track recording. Alternatively, Dual Recording mode captures a safety track of your audio at a lower level—if an actor suddenly belts out a line, distorting the recorder, the Dual Recording functionality provides a non-distorted backup copy. There’s also a limiter and hi-pass filter to avoid overdriving your tracks.It records Broadcast WAVE files, time-stamped with the time of day, to SD card media. A slate function records a tone to the tracks for easier synchronization to camera audio. Modern video editing software like Premiere and Final Cut Pro X include automatic clip synchronization, and there is software for syncing up with other, older editors.At a cost less than that of many competing preamps, the TASCAM DR-60DmkII is the ultimate 4-track recorder for filmmakers, television, live events, Web broadcast and more.FeaturesFour-track WAV or Broadcast WAV recording up to 96kHz / 24-bitDesigned to attach to DSLR cameraEasy-to-use interface with switches instead of menusDual record mode captures a safety track so there’s a backup in case of overloadHigh-quality microphone preamps, analog/digital converters, and recording format (BWAV) – much better than the camera audio specsImproved microphone preamp with up to 64dB of gainCamera output pads down to mic level so it doesn’t overload the cameraRecords to SD card mediaIndividual headphone and line outputsSlate function plays a tone for easier synchronization with camera audioTwo XLR / TRS combination jacks plus stereo 1/8” mini jackPowered via AA batteries or USB inputSpecificationsRecording media: SD card (64MB to 2GB), SDHC card (4GB to 32GB)Recording formatWAV: 44.1k / 48k / 96kHz,
