DR-10X Micro Linear PCM Recorder

Capture audio during interviews with this compact PCM recorder.

TASCAM’s compact DR-10X attaches to a handheld microphone for the ultimate compact news gathering recording system. A captive XLR connector attaches firmly to your microphone, capturing interviews at 48kHz/24-bit Broadcast WAV resolution. Offload recordings through the microUSB connection or by removing the microSD card.

The DR-10X has both manual and automatic gain settings, with a low cut filter and limiter to prevent overloads. The Dual Recording mode captures a copy of the audio at a lower level, so if there is distortion you have a backup safety. Recording can begin instantly by holding the record side switch while turning the unit on.

What' new on V2.00

Support for MP3 recording at both 128kbps and 192kbps

In addition to WAV (BWF) format files, recording and playback of MP3 files is now supported. This enables literally days of audio to be recorded on a single microSD card.

Level meters are now active during both recording and playback

Level meters were previously active only during input monitoring. With V2.00 they are live during recording and playback as well.

Level selection with dual recording function added

The dual recording function enables simultaneous creation of a backup "safety recording" at a lower level. Previously, this backup track was fixed at -6 dB lower than the main track. A new option of -12 dB now been added.

POLY file dual recording

POLY file mode can be used to record a mono sound source input as a stereo file. V2.00 also supports dual recording when in this mode.

Overall performance improvements

Overall performance has been enhanced, and microSD card writing/processing has been improved.
