Tascam DR680 MKII field recorder
Product no: 9000-0016-2246 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

If you want to record on location, you'll need a special field recorder. Take the Tascam DR-680MKII, for instance! It's equipped with four XLR/jack combo inputs and two 6.3mm jack inputs, as well as an S/PDIF input and output, adding up to a total of eight input channels. The recorder also has six analogue outputs, so you have eight output channels at your disposal too. A recording quality of 192 Khz/24 bits is no problem whatsoever for the DR-680MKII.

Tascam DR-680 MKII: preamplifiers

A good start gets you halfway there, they must have thought at Tascam. No wonder the DR680MKII is equipped with high-grade HDDA preamplifiers - the first passage way for your audio signals - which have a fully discrete design and operate individually. Additionally, the field recorder is equipped with a built-in MS decoder, a unique feature that enables you to easily convert an MS microphone setup into a stereo signal. Great for classic recordings!

Overview

Although the DR-680 MKII has no fewer than eight inputs, you might find yourself in a situation that requires more. If you're shooting an elaborate film scene, for instance, chances are you'll need to use ten microphones. Luckily, the Tascam DR680MKII has a cascade function that enables you to link several recorders to each other and to control them all with a single one. The field recorder's housing has been designed for mobile applications and can effortlessly handle vibrations and bad weather conditions.
