Super convenient and affordable portable recorder

The TASCAM DR-70D portable recorder is an unbeatable solution for field capture, especially for video production.

From just four AA batteries (or an optional battery), the DR-70D captures up to four mic or line channels in stunning 24-bit/96kHz quality directly to your SD/SDHC/SDXC storage.

Mount it under or over your DSLR and connect lavs, shotguns, and bias mics, or route your studio condensers and dynamic mics to the DR-70D's low-noise, +63dB phantom power HDDA mic preamps. Or simply use the DR-70D's built-in stereo microphone to interact with the scene as it unfolds before you.

You get independent level knobs for each input source and even dual recording to capture the same audio source at different levels.

The TASCAM DR-70D portable recorder also comes loaded with many video-centric features, including slate and transport controls, a 5-way low cut for trimming mud, and a master limiter to prevent overshoot.

You also get a Camera In/Out audio passthrough for monitoring camera audio from the TASCAM or for routing audio from the DR-70D directly to your camera.

A 128 x 64 backlit LCD provides access to all essential settings and features right on the spot. When you return home, the TASCAM DR-70D's USB 2.0 connection offers stable power and simple file transfer to your laptop for editing and protection.
