TASCAM FR-AV2
Overview
TASCAM FR-AV2 Compact 32-Bit-Float Field Recorder and Timecode Generator
Compact 32-Bit Float Field Recorder / Timecode Generator for Videographers
Offering 32-bit float, no-clip recording, two premium XLR/TRS mic/line inputs, timecode generation, jam-sync function, and optional Bluetooth wireless monitoring, the TASCAM FR-AV2 is a compact audio recorder packed with professional features for busy DIY videographers working in the field without a crew and who don't want to worry about clipping their audio.
The FR-AV2's lightweight fiberglass enclosure is designed for use with camera rigs. The vibrant 2" color LCD display maximizes visibility and operability when shooting outdoors. Fine-tune your sound before capture with the onboard low-cut filter, compressor, limiter, and noise gate. Up to 512GB of audio is recorded to a microSDXC card, at rates up to 192 kHz. The unit can also function as a 2-in / 2-out USB-C audio interface for Mac/Windows computers and iOS devices, enabling you to track professional-grade audio with timecode to your iPhone/iPad rig using a USB-C cable. The FR-AV2 can be powered via three AA batteries, USB bus power, or with an AC adapter (available separately).
No-Clip Recordings
The FR-AV2's enhanced 32-bit float recording up to 192 kHz means you'll never have to scrap a recording due to distorted or weak audio levels. When recording at lower bit depths like 24-bit and 16-bit, loud sound sources can cause digital clipping that cannot be fixed during editing.
By using dual analog-to-digital converter technology, recordings are captured with greater dynamic range and clarity—you can increase the level of dialog without creating a distracting change in tone or dynamics.
