From Our Research Team:

Easy On-the-go Recording

Brilliant recording, anywhere and anytime! In the truest sense of home-recording technological progress, the TASCAM DP-03 takes the widely popular DP-02 feature set and installs it into a revised, smaller, and more-portable format. The DP-03 records two tracks at a time (for a total of eight discrete tracks), and includes a handy pair of built-in condenser microphones. You also get two phantom-powered XLR inputs, onboard reverb, and 2-band EQs for each channel. And the DP-03 records to inexpensive SD/SDHC card media, allowing you to transfer files to your computer via USB 2.0 or burn them directly to CD.

TASCAM DP-03 Digital Portastudio Features at a Glance:
  • 8-track Digital Portastudio with CD Burner
  • Records to SD/SDHC Card media
  • Import audio tracks from CD
  • Built-in stereo condenser microphone
  • Two XLR microphone inputs with phantom power
  • 1/4" stereo line inputs
  • Switchable instrument-level input for guitar/bass direct recording

  • Chromatic Tuner and Metronome
  • Track editing, autopunch and bounce features
  • Optional RC-3F footswitch offers three switches for punch-in and transport operation
  • Compact and lightweight

I love this recorder. It does everything I need and it's easy to use and intuitive. It produces studio quality recordings. It's only drawback is that the reverb doesn't allow over 3 seconds time.

Getting a phone call from one of your sales engineers to thank me for my order is just something that does not happen these days. A personal touch is great. Outstanding service and my order arrived as promised in two days.
