About this listing
Open box demo.The DR-701D is TASCAM's flagship recorder for single-shooter video production. A timecode generator is included for location reference, which can be jam synced from a SMPTE generator, camera, or smart slate. The HDMI in and out allows a DSLR camera to start recording on both devices, and video clock prevents drift between sound and picture.Four mic inputs can be individually recorded and mixed to a stereo track, for a total of six-track recording. For additional tracks, multiple units can be cascaded together. The lightweight yet rigid chassis is forged from a magnesium alloy. Tripod mounts on the top and bottom of the unit allow the unit to mount under a camera, attach to a follow-focus cage, or used stand-alone.Designed for the needs of professional filmmakers, television producers, advertisers, and documentarians, the DR-701D packs high quality multitrack recording into a package compact enough for use with any camera.Perfect camera sync using HDMI video clock synchronizationAn HDMI input and output allows the DR-701D's internal clock and the camera to be digitally synchronized. Even when shooting long events, the video files recorded by the camera and audio files recorded by the DR-701D will not drift out of sync.One button press on the camera starts sound recording on the DR-701DSimply pressing the camera recording start button sends a trigger to the DR-701D to start audio recording. Unlike other systems that force you to press record on both devices, the HDMI start system prevents missed takes, syncs the two recording starts together, and makes single-operator shoots much easier. Cascade feature for additional track recordingBy connecting multiple units using HDMI, slave DR-701D units can be made to follow a master unit to start and stop recording simultaneously. Since audio can also be output through the HDMI connection, monitoring selections can be made using slave units without reconnecting headphones.SMPTE timecode stores time data in recorded audio filesThe built-in SMPTE generator allows the camera and DR-701D to store the same location reference. Several options are available to integrate SMPTE LTC into your camera system. The BNC timecode input can follow a source signal, or can be "jamsynced" a few times per day for independant freewheel operation. Cameras that send timecode through their HDMI output can be followed by the DR-701D's timecode input. And the internal generator can be started without an external reference for a simple time-of-day stamp on recorded BWAV files. The magnesium-alloy chassis is lightweight yet rugged enough for daily on-set useThe DR-701D's chassis is forged using a magnesium alloy, chosen for its lightweight but solid structure. Desipte its compact size, a high number of inputs and outputs are included. Screw threads for mounting a tripod are included on the bottom of the unit, while a removable camera attachment screw and hot shoe are included on the top of the unit. The DR-701D includes a number of mounting options either below the camera for best cable management, above the camera, or mounted to a follow-focus cage. High-quality HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) mic preampsThe microphone preamps have a significant impact on the quality of the recorded audio. The DR-701D features TASCAM HDDA mic preamps. The differential mic preamp circuits use discrete architecture, built with carefully selected components. For example, Texas Instruments OPA1652 op amps were selected for their high quality and low noise with even better audio performance than the previous DR-70D model. As a result, the unit boasts an equivalent input noise of -124 dBu or better.The A/D converters, which convert analog signals to digital, are made by Asahi Kasei Corporation and are equivalent to those used in the top models in the TASCAM DR series of linear PCM recorders. High audio quality HDDA circuits faithfully convert the amplified audio to digital. Resolutions up to 96kHz/24-bit are supported when recording 6 tracks and 192kHz/24-bit when recording 2 tracks. Multiple mic inputs support various recording optionsThe four XLR/TRS inputs can be adjusted and recorded independently, allowing various on-set recording options. Talent can be recorded using shotgun mics, lavaliers, or both simultaneously. Ambience can be recorded using a stereo mic (or the built-in microphones.) The 3.5mm stereo input can be selected for channels (1-2) and the built-in omni mics for channels (3-4) for an even wider range of mic setups.Multiband limiter and 5-stage low-cut filter built-inThe limiter function automatically adjusts excessive input levels, and can operate independently on each of the four inputs. A more natural sound quality is achieved because a multiband limiter is employed, affecting only the frequency ranges that have excessive input. In addition, a low-cut filter can be adjusted to five different frequencies to cut wind noise, rumble and other undesirable low frequencies without damaging the source audio.Record the built-in stereo mic together with external micsTwo omni condenser mics are built into the DR-701D for natural stereo sound images. Used in combination with small handheld or shotgun mics, speakers can be interviewed while capturing the surrounding environment in a compact setup.A temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) provides a solid internal clockA high precision TCXO is employed for the internal clock generator. Like other TASCAM professional studio equipment, the TCXO reduces clock errors (jitter) to improve the quality of the digital recording. Additionally, a PLL (phase-locked loop) circuit with a discrete filter further reduces jitter for the best possible audio quality.FEATURES:SD/SDHC/SDXC cards used for recording media.6 maximum simultaneous recording tracksMONO, STEREO, 2MIX, DUAL MONO, DUAL ST and DUAL2MIX recording modesRecording formats: 16/24-bit, 44.1/48/96/192kHz (WAV/BWF) (192kHz only for two-track recording)Built-in original TASCAM HDDA mic preamps provide high audio qualityInput levels can be adjusted separately for each trackXLR/TRS inputs support +4dBu line level and 24/48V phantom powerClock and record start/stop can be synchronized with a camera using the HDMI portDR-701D audio signal can be output to an external camera or recorder from the HDMI OUT or line outputCascade function using HDMI connections allows multiple DR-701D transport and monitoring operationsSMPTE Timecode can be input through the TC IN connector to add recording start times to filesTimecode generator (RTC) allows recording start times to be added to files even when there is no timecode inputPlug-in power mics and high output mics (EXT IN 1/2) supportedOUT (CAMERA OUT) connector can output audio mixed by the DR-701D to a DSLR cameraIN (CAMERA IN) connector enables monitoring the sound from a DSLR camera through the DR-701DHigh quality audio output through a line output jack separate from the headphones jackHeadphones jack with 50mW+50mW maximum outputTripod attachment threads (bottom), camera screw attachment that can be installed or removed with a coin (top) and shoe mount (top) includedHandles on the left and right sides of the front protect the control surface and also enable attachment of a shoulder strapTransport and SLATE buttons made of rubber suppress noise during operationHOLD switch prevents misoperation12864-dot graphic LCD with backlightLED lights have high visibility even in direct sunlightHigh-speed transfer of files to computers possible using USB 2.0Micro-B type USB cable includedPowered by 4 AA batteries, USB bus power or a PS-P515U AC adapter (sold separately)BP-6AA external battery pack (sold separately) enables operation for even longer timesOptional RC-3F foot switch and RC-10 wireless remote control can be connected (both sold separately)Built-in mixer enables pan and level adjustments as well as solo monitoring and can output a mix of 4 channelsGANG function allows the levels of multiple channels to be controlled simultaneouslyIndividual channel trim settings shown5-position low-cut filter (50/80/120/180/220 Hz) cuts unwanted low frequenciesMultiband limiter automatically adjusts input overloads (stereo-linking possible with 1/L and 2/R)Delay function can compensate for distances between mics (+/-150 ms)Mid-side decoder function enables use with mid-side stereo micsSlate tone insertion functions (AUTO/MANUAL)Slate tone insertion points can be selected (recording start or recording start and stop when slate AUTO function used)SPECIFICATIONS:Recording media: SD card(64MB to 2GB), SDHC card(4GB to 32GB), SDXC card(48GB to 128GB)Recording format: WAV - 44.1k/48k/96k/192k Hz, 16/24-bitBWF - 44.1k/48k/96k/192k Hz, 16/24-bitNumber of input channels: 44.1k/48k/96k Hz - 4 maximum192kHz - 2 maximumNumber of recording tracks: 44.1k/48k/96k Hz - 6 maximum192kHz - 2 maximumAnalog audio inputs - *The maximum input level the level that the input knob can be adjusted and a digital full-scale(0dBFS) signal can be input without distorting.*The minimum input level is the level that the input knob can be adjusted and a -20dBFS signal can be input.IN 1, IN 2, IN 3, IN 4 - XLR can provide phantom powerConnectors - • XLR-3-31 (1:GND, 2:HOT, 3:COLD)• 6.3mm(1/4")standard TRS jacks(tip:HOT, Ring:COLD, Sleeve:GND)Input gain - LOW/MID/HI/HI+Input impedance - 2k ohmsPhantom power - 48V +/-4V(10mA/CH), 24V +/-4V(10mA/CH)Maximum input level - +4dBuMinimum input level - -72dBuMIC input gain - TRIM MAXLOW - +20dBMID - +40dBHI - +52dBHI+ - +64dBInput gain - "LINE"Input impedance - 10k ohmsNominal input level - +4dBuMaximum input level - +24dBu
