Tascam DR-680 Portable Recorder
New from Tascam, the DR-680 multichannel portable recorder lets you record up to eight tracks to solid-state SD card media at 24-bit, 96 kHz broadcast WAV quality. Six mic inputs provide phantom power and 60 dB of gain, and an additional stereo S/PDIF input adds to the unit's flexibility.
Inputs can be monitored using a built-in mixer with level and pan controls for each input. What's more, the stereo mixdown can be recorded along with the six microphones for quick stereo playback on the spot, and the built-in speaker allows you to quick-check recordings without putting on headphones.
In addition to WAV recording up to 96 kHz, the DR-680 captures stereo audio at 24-bit, 192 kHz for high-quality masters. The DR-680 records up to four channels of MP3 audio, and two of the recorders can be connected with a cascade cable for up to 16-track recording on battery power.
