Tascam Announces DR-10L Pro 32-bit float Field Recorder and Lavalier Microphone

July 7 2023, 01:10
Tascam introduced a new valuable alternative for mobile audio capture with the launch of the new DR-10L Pro 32-bit float Field Recorder and Lavalier Microphone. The new DR-10L Pro is an ultra-compact, lightweight, portable 32-bit float recorder with clip-on microphone. On top of the superior audio quality, the new recorder supports timecode sync with multiple devices and comes bundled with iZotope's audio repair and noise reduction software.
 

Building upon the strengths of the previous generation DR-10L Micro Linear PCM Recorder, the new Tascam DR-10L Pro features exceptional sound quality, long battery life, provisions for remote control, the ability to sync to timecode and more. This makes the DR-10L Pro a valuable choice to record audio for events like weddings, on-location cinema shoots, YouTube/content videos, and general dialog interviews where the rock-solid capability of a wired lavalier recorder is proven and assured. 

The DR-10L Pro's default 32-bit float recording mode employs dual ADCs to capture sounds across a huge dynamic range without distorting or introducing excessive noise — making it a great choice to capture unscripted content with improved fidelity, ultra-low noise, and no need to fine-tune gain levels. The included TM-10L lavalier microphone captures clear, detailed audio while handling loud sound pressure levels without distorting. 

Fitting in the palm of one's hand and weighing in at just 65 grams, the DR-10L Pro is easy to hide during video shoots, weddings, stage performances, and similar events where invisibility is important. The included belt clip attaches easily and securely to clothing, facilitating the capture of great sound without compromising the talent.
 

The new DR-10L also benefits from long duration battery-enabled shooting sessions. Just two Lithium AAA batteries can power the DR-10L Pro personal recorder for up to 24.5 hours (16 hours with Alkaline batteries), minimizing concerns over battery changes during the shoot that could interrupt workflow. In addition to its excellent battery duration time, the DR-10L Pro offers huge storage capacity, with support for microSDXC cards up to 512GB. Combined, the system offers both exceptional recording time and storage capability.

Field recording specialists will certainly appreciate the fact that up to five DR-10L Pro units can be remotely controlled using the optionally available AK-BT1 Bluetooth dongle. DR-10L Pro recorders can be controlled from iOS, iPadOS and Android devices wirelessly with the free DR-10L Pro CONNECT app. In addition to controlling up to five DR-10L Pro units remotely, the DR-10L Pro CONNECT app enables users to check device status and view the recorded waveforms real time for operation confirmation. Names and colors can be applied to individual devices for easy identification. Also, Metadata (project name, scene name, take number) can be recorded in the recording file (BEXT, iXML).
For those requiring timecode synchronization, the optional AK-BT1 Bluetooth dongle also enables the DR-10L Pro to wirelessly sync timecode with supported Atomos products. This enables videographers to perfectly align audio recordings with video, even when there is no audio on the camera. Timecode is crucial for multi-camera video shoots, and it saves valuable time in post-production. 

The DR-10L Pro's high-visibility OLED display also enables reassuring visual confirmation of settings at a glance. This display makes it easy to check battery level, recording status, and input levels, with all advanced functions only a couple button presses away. And because of Tascam's long experience in this field, there are no irritating LED lights on the product which can leak through fabric and compromise a shot, especially at nighttime.

Just as the DR-10L makes it easy to confirm various settings, it is equally easy to monitor input and recordings. The DR-10L Pro is equipped with a headphone output for monitoring convenience. This provides the ability to monitor the input before or during recording, and check the quality of the recordings immediately without having to first transfer them to a computer.
 

In addition to its comprehensive feature set, the DR-10L Pro is bundled with a complimentary version of RX Elements, iZotope's audio repair and noise reduction software. This adds powerful audio restoration capabilities and the ability to seamlessly remove coughs and background noises, as well as reducing wind and ambient noise is just a few clicks during post-production.

Equally important, the new DR-10L Pro provides a USB Type-C port that enables connecting an extra battery as well as facilitating easy data exchange with computers. The complete Tascam DR-10L Pro and lavalier microphone package includes a belt clip, USB cable (Type A – Type C), microphone clip, windscreen, and an iZotope RX Elements download card.
