Product Description
The DR-2d is a compact linear PCM recorder that captures hours of high-resolution audio material to SD memory media. A built-in stereo condenser microphone allows the user to record from almost anywhere in uncompressed WAV or compact MP3 file format at up to 96 kHz/24-bit. Users may also use their own set of microphones using the mic input with switchable plug-in power, and a line input is available for other sources.The most remarkable feature of the DR-2d, however, is its ability to create two recordings at the same time. Create two files with different microphone levels, or record from the mic and line inputs at the same time. By mixing the two files on a computer later, you can add live atmosphere to a recording derived from a FOH mixer, for instance. It is also possible to record a mix from the mics and the line input to a single file directly.The recorder includes auto gain control and a limiter for easy setup and a switchable low-frequency filter to eliminate handling or wind noise. One out of six reverb effects can be applied to the playback signal or to the input signal during recording. Recordings can also be added to existing audio files (overdub feature). And a host of playback features is supplied, including pitch and key control, a cancelling function and a metronome.The DR-2d is powered by two easily-available AA batteries or an optional Tascam AC adapter (PS-P520) and comes with a 2-Gigabyte SD card for hours of recording time.
