The Professional's Choice for Challenging Recording Applications
Co-developed with Frontier Systems, the TASCAM HD-P2 portable high-definition Stereo Recorder can capture audio at up to 24-bit resolution and sampling rates of up to 192kHz onto CompactFlash media. The audio files are instantly available for editing or transfer to DAWs through the built-in FireWire connection. As you'd expect for pro applications, the HD-P2 includes high-end features like SMPTE timecode input for synchronization to external devices while in record or playback mode. What's more, it lets you handle those stressful "one-take-only" situations with ease thanks to the large, angled LCD and fast, intuitive user interface.


TASCAM HD-P2 at-a-Glance:
  • Records to convenient CompactFlash media at resolutions up to 24-bit and sample rates to 192kHz
  • Transfer data fast to any Mac or PC via built-in FireWire connection
  • Built-in Synchronization via full-featured timecode input
  • Large angled LCD and intuitive user interface
  • Onboard XLR mic inputs with phantom power, unbalanced RCA ins and outs plus S/PDIF digital I/O


Records High Definition Audio to CompactFlash Media
One of the HD-P2's coolest features (in our humble opinion, of course) is its ability to record directly to readily available, highly cost effective CompactFlash media. Prices seem to drop weekly on these, making one gig CF cards surprisingly affordable. But it's the audio quality that will impress you the most, since the HD-P2 can record at 24-bit resolution and at sample rates of up to 192kHz. Sure, that might be overkill right now, but isn't it nice to know that a year from now, you won't have to retire the unit and buy something else? The HD-P2 is truly a portable recorder capable of delivering pristine audio at all resolutions and sample rates you might need for today and well into the future.

Convenient FireWire Connectivity for Fast Data Transfers
TASCAM made a really wise choice by including FireWire connectivity in the HD-P2. So whether you want to send some audio to a Mac or PC for fine-tuning (or even major edits), you won't spend time twiddling your thumbs while some sloth-like data transfers are in progress. As we all know, FireWire is super fast. Need to send your audio into a full-blown digital audio workstation? No problemo, dude. The HD-P2 has you covered.

Built-in Synchronization
The TASCAM HD-P2 comes standard with a full featured timecode input, making it the most affordable recorder with built-in timecode ever made. Incoming LTC is connected to the locking XLR input for timetamping your broadcast WAVE files from a central clock. The HD-P2 also "Chases" incoming timecode during playback for review or loading into an editor. A video clock input allows frame edge resolve to a central blackburst source or use as a lock-and-release timecode slave.

Large Angled LCD and Intuitive User Interface
Although the HD-P2 was designed for demanding film shoots and live concerts, it's still simple and affordable enough for use in everyday situations. The large, angled backlit LCD is uncluttered, yet it delivers all the information you need to get the job done. The angled display is easily read from a tabletop or when the unit is shoulder mounted. The user interface is straightforward - there's no steep learning curve, so you can begin using the HD-P2 almost immediately.

Onboard XLR Inputs Plus Unbalanced RCA and S/PDIF I/O
The HD-P2 is ready to work with you, using the accessories you choose. For use with today's premium quality microphones, the unit has balanced XLR inputs with phantom power, so you can actually take your better mics out in the field for the best results. There are also unbalanced RCA ins and outs for those times when you need to record an analog line-level signal. Finally, the HD-P2 has a digital S/PDIF I/O, allowing it to easily interface with almost any other digital audio device on the planet, like DAT machines, hard disk recorders and more!

TASCAM HD-P2 Features:
  • Stereo recording to Compact Flash media
  • 44.1kHz to 192kHz sample rates at 16- or 24-bit resolution
  • Time-stamped Broadcast WAVE file format is easily imported into DAW software and spotted into projects with sample accuracy

 Great DAT replacement  
by Buck Natas from ATX, May 14, 2008

“Now if I could afford a Nagra I would get one but this was within my budget and after researching all of the recorders in this class the HD-P2 seemed the way to go. I have had no problems with this unit at all. Excellent recording quality with my Earthworks QTC40 at 24/192. The large display makes the menus easy to read and navigate. Does what it says it will and does it well. The CS-P2 case is...” Read More
