From Our Research Team:

An Amazing Pocket-sized Recorder!

The TASCAM PR-10 handheld digital recorder is so affordable, it lets anyone get into field recording and produce quality results. Roughly the size of a TV remote, the PR-10 puts a ton of recording and playback options in the palm of your hand. Onboard, there's a pair of mini condenser microphones that let you record in stereo at up to 24-bit/48kHz professional-standard resolution. Built-in filters and an automatic gain mode ensure you'll get clean and clear sound, and a host of recording options make recording convenient with a TASCAM PR-10 handheld digital recorder.

TASCAM PR-10 Handheld Digital Recorder at a Glance:
  • Huge recording possibilities from a recorder no larger than a TV remote
  • Flexible recording and playback modes provide you with options for any occasion
  • All of the recording and playback modes you could ask for

Huge recording possibilities from a recorder no larger than a TV remote
It may look small - that's because it is small - but don't think for a second that the TASCAM PR-10 is some stripped-down toy of a handheld recorder. In addition to an impressively high-quality stereo microphone, the PR-10 houses a digital recorder that lets you record at up to professional-grade 24-bit/48kHz resolution. That makes it perfect for on-the-go field recording, sampling, and many other uses that require high-resolution audio. It also records to MP3, which you'll find handy for those extended recording sessions.

Flexible onboard tools for recording ensure that you get the best possible sound
One thing TASCAM's lightweight PR-10 isn't light on is recording options. For starters, it offers you both manual and automatic gain controls ensuring that you get solid levels without clipping. The PR-10 also protects your recordings from noise by providing you with both a low cut filter and an automatic noise reduction filter. There's also a built-in folding stand, so you can prop your PR-10 up for hands-free desktop recording, and a built-in speaker lets you check your recordings without digging out a pair of headphones.

All of the recording and playback modes you could ask for
If you're recording with your band, then you'll appreciate the PR-10's automatic record mode, which waits for a strong enough signal to begin recording - just what you need to get into position. The PR-10's timer mode is also super useful. It lets you set a specific time of day to begin recording, which is useful if you want to record your live performances. Variable speed playback lets you adjust its playback speed from 50% to 200%, without changing the pitch of your material. That's great for learning new music. What's more, the PR-10's handy folder-based playlist management makes organizing your tunes and recordings easy.

TASCAM PR-10 Handheld Digital Recorder Features:
  • An excellent sounding and super-affordable pocket-sized handheld recorder
  • Built-in mini condenser microphones provide high-quality stereo recordings
  • Record at up to 24-bit/48kHz PCM WAV resolution or in MP3 recording modes for greater recording time
  • Records to MicroSD media and comes equipped with a 2GB card
  • Auto-recording function lets you record only when loud enough sound is present
  • Low cut filter, noise filter and auto gain control all help to ensure the best possible results
  • Variable Speed playback mode provides 50% to 200% playback speeds, without changing the pitch of your material
  • USB 2.0 connection provides high-speed file transfer to your computer
  • Bright 96x96-pixel backlit LCD display makes operation and metering easy
  • Built-in foldable stand makes desktop recording easy
  • Playlist and folder management lets you keep your music and recordings organized
  • Powered by 2 x AAA batteries (included) or USB bus power (Micro-USB cable included)
  • Built-in speaker lets you monitor your recordings without headphones

Holy Cats!

by Phil from Somewhere in the Midwest, USA

Got one of these because it was super cheap and I really needed a dedicated stereo recorder I could for field recording with my DSLR video rig. I got it for use with my RODE NT4 stereo mic, and it doe... read more [+]s the trick nicely. It's got a couple of minor drawbacks you should know about. The DAC is a little noisy, but let's be honest, if it sounded as good as an H2n or something, then it would ruin my faith in the audio industry altogether. Besides, it's a static hiss you can remove in post no problem with RX2 or anything even resembling it. I also with there was any way to mount it to... anything. This thing's so small, you can't really even jerry-rig something for it, without covering up the speaker... not that that's such a big deal for me.

On the plus side, it takes 32GB cards like a champ and 24-bit/48kHz resolution is nothing to complain about. The biggest surprise for me was the quality of the onboard mics. They're a tad darker than my NT4, but for the price, you really can't complain. All-in-all, if you need something that can do stereo recording at a price that won't force you to have another one of *those* conversations with the wife, then this baby's for you. close [-]

This little Tascam suprised me. I sat it about 3 feet from my Roland CM-200 monitor and recorded a piano sound from my Yamaha S90 ES. The playback (through my monitors) sounded like a cd.

Well worth the money; however, be sure to get a 32 GB micro sd card or you can only record for about 3 minutes with the included card. close [-]
