Tascam DR-10L Micro Recorder with Lavalier Microphone
Description
Go where the action is with the TASCAM DR-10L. This lightweight, ultra-compact digital audio recorder features a discreet lavalier microphone, making it ideal when the situation calls for a bit of stealth. Mount a DR-10L on an actor during a location shot, and leave your boom mic at home. Make a great-sounding wedding video. Create a presentation video with professional audio quality. Dual recording with different audio levels prevents an unexpected loud moment from ruining your recording. Automatic leveling and limiting prevent distortion caused by overloads. Automatic file closing saves your data before your battery runs out. The TASCAM DR-10L digital audio recorder is a wonderful problem solver!
Compact recorder for those difficult stealthy affairs
TASCAM combined their popular mini-recorder with a high-performance lavalier mic to create a super-discreet recording system. Weighing in at around two ounces, the DR-10L is a cinch to conceal. Place it invisibly on your on-camera talent. Ensure that every word of your documentary subject, presenter, or even an entire wedding party is captured with excellent quality – no complicated wireless system required. At Sweetwater, we’ve found that the DR-10L is easy to use, easy to wear, and a total lifesaver in stealthy situations.
Dual recording, automatic level, and limiting prevent common problems
Here’s the situation: you placed a lav mic on your actor. You checked your levels carefully. Things are going great. Then the actor decides to scream one of his lines. Or maybe your documentary subject did something unexpected. (That never happens, right?) The TASCAM DR-10L’s dual recording feature solves this problem by capturing two separate files at different levels. Automatic level and limiter functions are also onboard. The leveler increases or decreases your recording volume to the appropriate level. The limiter prevents distortion caused by unexpected input overloads. Even with very little effort, the DR-10L guarantees a quality recording.
Automatic file closing saves file data before the battery runs out
Even though the TASCAM DR-10L operates for up to 10 hours on a single AAA battery, disaster can still befall you. Imagine that you’re in the middle of an event. The recording is going great. Then the battery runs out. It’s bad enough that you have to stop recording, but even worse – you lost all of your data. The first half of the event is gone forever! The DR-10L’s automatic file closing function rescues you from this embarrassing predicament by saving your file data before the battery runs out. Also, the DR-10L’s case is designed for fast battery changes, so even after your battery runs out, you’ll get back up and running in no time.
