Tascam SS-R250N Solid-State Network Audio Recorder

General

Tascam's SS-R250N solid-state audio recorder is extremely versatile. It supports 24-bit, 96 kHz recording as well as a number of different recording media and has an impressive number of connection possibilities. In addition to the traditional XLR connectors, it also supports AES/EBU multi-channel audio, RCA and S/PDIF. The player can be controlled with a separately-available foot switch or remote. The network functionality allows you to stream audio to other locations, or it can be used to automatically carry out downloading and uploading processes via FTP.

Reliability

It's clear that the engineers at Tascam have carefully considered how audio data is distributed and stored. It's possible to protect your audio files with a password, for instance, to prevent unauthorised access allowing you share files securely. The SS-R250N is equipped with a pre-recording function which ensures you'll never miss the first few seconds of a recording as it will be automatically stored in the buffer. There's also the possibility to save recordings to two different memory cards at the same time.

Media formats and recording functions

Audio files can be saved on SD cards or via USB. SD, SDHC and SDXC cards with a storage capacity of up to 128 GB are fully supported and this is the same for USB devices that can be connected to the front of the SS-R250N. It's possible to place markers in your recordings so that you can easily search for and find them afterwards. There are also handy features like Auto Cue and Auto Ready built in so that you can quickly find the next track. Finally, there's the Auto Level Control function that automatically adjusts the recording level to prevent clipping.
