Tascam DR1 Field Pack Digital Portable Recorder, Stereo Mic

TASCAM DR1FP Details ^top

The Field Pack matches TASCAM's best-selling DR-1 portable recorder with the TM-ST1 stereo microphone. The DR-1 includes its own microphones of course, a pair of condensers in A-B pattern for a natural recording pattern. It captures in MP3 or WAV format, 24-bit or 16-bit, and includes a 1GB SD Card to start recording right away. The DR-1 includes an Overdub mode with effects to record over your previous recording to make a complete production.

Adding the TM-ST1 gives added flexibility while recording to the DR-1. The mic can be placed in the perfect spot while the recorder stays near to press record. The Mid-side side of the TM-ST1 allows the stereo image to be widened, to capture more ambience or audience sound, or narrowed to reduce background noise. It plugs into the DR-1's 1/8" mic input - or any other recorder - for a detailed stereo sound with perfect mono compatibility.

Ideal for rehearsals and concerts, capture every note with the affordable TASCAM Field Pack.

The TASCAM DR-1 puts world-dominating power into your pocket. Its built-in stereo microphones include a unique variable angle mechanism, so you can set it to record from any angle. The DR-1 is the first portable recorder to include a 1GB card, so you'll have plenty of CD or MP3-quality recording time for long rehearsals and concerts.

A pair of microphones is mounted on a variable angle mechanism, which allows the recorder to record from almost any angle. The built-in stereo condenser microphones are arranged for a wide stereo image, and an external mic can also be used. The unit includes a generous 1GB SD card for hours of recording at MP3 or WAV file formats. The DR-1 also includes auto gain control and analog limiting for easy setup and a low-frequency cutoff to eliminate handling or wind noise.
