Overview
|
| he
DR-70D from TASCAM is the ultimate audio recording solution for
filmmakers. Four balanced XLR mic inputs meet 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(High Definition Discrete Architecture) Mic Preamps
include 64dB 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. Uniquely 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. |
