High-end Portable Recording!

The DR-100 is a slam-dunk portable recording solution from TASCAM. It features four built-in microphones - two cardioid and two omnidirectional - yet also offers two XLR microphone inputs with phantom power, so you can record with your favorite professional-grade condenser microphones. What's more, the TASCAM DR-100 offers a built-in speaker for easily previewing your recordings, comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and includes a wireless remote control for convenient remote operation. Recording on the go? You'll be ready for everything with the TASCAM DR-100 in hand.





TASCAM DR-100 Portable SD Recorder at a Glance:
  • Four built-in microphones plus two XLR inputs and phantom power
  • Built-in preview speaker for instant headphone-free playback
  • Rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, also can be powered via AA batteries or AC adapter
  • Includes a remote control for starting the recording remotely
  • USB output transfers files to your computer, comes with a 2GB SD Card

Four built-in microphones plus two XLR inputs and phantom power
The TASCAM DR-100 features four built-in microphones, so it's ready to support a variety of recording needs. There are two cardioid microphones and two omnidirectional microphones - all support analog limiting and filtering, for great-sounding recordings. Beyond that, the TASCAM DR-100 has two XLR inputs - both phantom-powered - so you can record with any of your favorite professional-grade condensers, when you want more than a point-and-shoot solution. Other connections onboard the DR-100 include line inputs, line outputs, and a headphone output.

Built-in preview speaker for instant headphone-free playback
One frustration with many portable recording solutions is that they require a pair of headphones in order for you to check your levels or listen back to your ideas. The TASCAM DR-100 solves this problem, with its handy built-in speaker. Record a quick idea, check levels, or share a recording with a friend - with just the DR-100.

Rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, also can be powered via AA batteries or AC adapter
Thanks to the TASCAM DR-100's rechargeable lithium-ion battery, you don't have to worry about chewing through a ton of AA batteries. Though, if you'd like to have back up available, you can power it by AA batteries or by an AC adapter.

Includes a remote control for starting the recording remotely
Use the TASCAM DR-100's included remote control to control recording and playback - without touching the device itself. Add to that the DR-100's integrated microphone stand mount, and you can easily start recordings onstage or from the audience while the DR-100 is put in the perfect position to capture the sound.

USB output transfers files to your computer, comes with a 2GB SD Card
You can record MP3 or WAV files with the TASCAM DR-100 - all the audio stores onto an included 2GB SD Card. When you're ready to archive your files, e-mail them, or start editing them, you can just connect the DR-100 to your computer via USB. It will show up as a regular USB storage device - just drag and drop the files you want onto your desktop and you'll be ready to go.

Great recorder

by Dan Tong from Chicago, IL USA
August 7, 2010
Music Background: Pro Musician, Recording Engineer
Unlike the Zoom H2, H4, H4n this Tascam recorder allows undistorted recordings from the line input (see reviews on amazon).

Menus are easy to navigate and use and the recordings with t... read more [+]he built in mics and with condenser via XLR input are excellent.

Dual battery function is an excellent idea. It's a bit too large to fit in your pocket and does not fit your hand as easily as some of the competition and AC power adapter is optional.

I bought this machine for live concert recording. I used it at Furthur 6/26/10 in Brooklyn, NY. I ran AT 897 shotguns with AT 8202 attenuaters set at -10db.

Thanks to Patrick Dennis my Sales Engineer for his expertise in picking this out. close [-]

Very Clean Sound

Great Product Overall

by Nick from Chicago, IL

Music Background: Live Sound Engineer
I just purchased the Tascam DR-100 and played around with it a little bit and so far I like the product overall. It has many great features that are easy to access without searching through many confu... read more [+]sing menus. The UNI-directional mics sound pretty good but I'm not fond of the OMNI-directional mics. You can also plug in two XLR mics with phantom power which is nice. One complaint I have is in the low battery power that only allows for minimal use at a time. However, I believe that this product overall is well built and is useful for many different applications. close [-]

So so

by Patrick johnson from Southwest
July 4, 2011
Music Background: Film/ video production
The sound is okay but the battery life is terrible. It has an internal rechargeable battery but won't automatically switch to it when the AA batteries die (45min) and you have to scroll through a menu... read more [+] to change battery input. Recorder stops when low battery message appears. Built in speaker works sporadically. You can set one input to record to both channels but you can't independently set input levels on each channel so it's kinda pointless to do. Should come with a battery charger and AC power input. Strap hooks would be nice. Headphone volume is good. close [-]
