Tascam DR-10L Pro Field Recorder and Lavalier Mic
The Tascam DR-10L Pro is a 32-bit float field recorder small enough to wear on a belt, with a TM-10L lavalier mic in the box.
Recording
Dual A/D converters and 32-bit float recording keep full resolution on a voice at every level, from a whisper to a shout. It records WAV files at 44.1 or 48 kHz in 16-bit, 24-bit, or 32-bit float, or MP3, to microSD cards up to 512 GB, and writes BEXT and iXML metadata with each file.
A screw lock holds the mic plug in the 3.5 mm input. The sliding record switch and a key lock keep a take from stopping by accident. A limiter, auto level, and a low-cut filter at 40, 80, 120, or 220 Hz are set from the menu. A phase setting suits mics other than the included one.
Two AAA batteries, sold separately, run it for about 16.5 hours with alkaline cells or about 24.5 hours with lithium cells when recording 48 kHz, 32-bit float WAV. It also runs on USB bus power through its USB-C port, which moves files to a computer as well.
Timecode and Remote Control
The input jack also takes LTC from a timecode generator to jam sync the recorder at frame rates from 23.98 to 30 fps. After the jam sync, it runs free on its own clock.
With the optional Tascam AK-BT1 Bluetooth adapter, the free DR-10L Pro CONNECT app controls and monitors up to five units from a phone or tablet. The adapter also lets the recorder receive timecode from supported Atomos products, though not while the app is in use.
