Tascam DR-100

Designed for both professional and commercial recording in the field, the DR-100 offers high-quality recording directly in WAV or MP3 format from a rugged metal chassis. You can choose between two pairs of built-in uni-directional (cardioid) and omni-directional microphones, as well as XLR mic inputs with switchable 48V phantom power, plus a mini jack line input. This ensures that the DR-100 can be used for music, speech and atmosphere recordings, in addition to meeting minutes, or recording live concerts.

The DR-100 comes with a 2GB SD card, wireless remote control, windshield and soft case and can be powered either by the included lithium-ion rechargeable, two easily-available AA batteries or an optional AC adapter. The built-in mic stand screw socket allows the unit to be mounted on a tripod or microphone stand

ecording levels can easily be controlled by a twin hardware control (ganged potentiometers) rather than a menu option. Recordings can be started manually, automatically by level, advanced (buffered by up to 2 seconds), delayed (to prevent key presses from being recorded) or with the help of a remote control. A switchable mini-loudspeaker for playback is also included. You can make overdubs, manually create a new file during recording, divide a recording and use location markers. The unit is further equipped with switchable automatic analogue gain control with limiter, a three-frequencies switchable low-cut filter, headphones output, wired remote connector and USB connector, which is for downloads.
