An Excellent Multichannel Field Recorder!

Whether you're working on a documentary, a festival short, or tracking a band on site, one thing's for certain, you're going to need a reliable portable recorder that's up to the task. These days, there are many perfectly fine portable recorders out there for tracking small-scale music or jotting down song ideas, but when you have to face the reality of on-site production, two or even four tracks of recording at a time just aren't going to cut it. What you need is a portable recorder that gives you flexible options so that you can adapt to any situation. What you need is a TASCAM DR-680 8-channel portable SD recorder!

Six analog inputs with microphone preamps (four XLR/TRS, two TRS only) give the TASCAM DR-680 plenty of available I/O for microphones or other analog-only gear. Each channel also has its own limiter and highpass filter, which is a real bonus when you're trying to nail the first take. You also get two channels of S/PDIF, for a total of eight simultaneous inputs at up to 96kHz/24-bit quality, all recorded on inexpensive SD or SDHC card media. That's easily enough to record a full surround sound mix plus a couple of dialog mics, and if you still have a pair of channels left over, the DR-680 can also record a stereo mix, complete with level and pan assignments - all at the same time!

Convenient functions such as level-dependent auto-recording, pre-recording, and on-the-fly marking make professional-quality production not only possible, but easy. A large (128x64) backlit LCD display makes navigating through the DR-680's settings headache free, and a built in speaker lets you review your work with headphones. Need more channels? No problem! A convenient cascade function allows you to bridge two DR-680s together. Cascaded together, a pair of DR-680s can provide you with up to 14 simultaneous tracks of recording on battery power alone. Overall, the TASCAM DR-680 makes portable multi-channel recording easier and more affordable than ever before!
