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.

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.

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.

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.
