Tascam AK-BT1 Bluetooth Adapter
The Tascam AK-BT1 Bluetooth adapter fits a Tascam Portacapture X8, Portacapture X6, or DR-10L Pro recorder and lets a phone or tablet control it wirelessly.
On the Portacapture X8 and X6, the free Portacapture Control app runs the recorder from an iOS or Android device. On the DR-10L Pro, the DR-10L Pro CONNECT app controls up to five recorders from about 10 m (33 ft) away.
The adapter also lets each of these recorders receive timecode from Atomos devices such as the AtomX SYNC and UltraSync BLUE (the X8 needs firmware 1.20 or later). On the Portacapture recorders, the app and Atomos timecode cannot be used at the same time. The adapter’s blue LED blinks once a second while timecode comes in. The AK-BT1 carries control and timecode only, not audio.
