User questions & answers

Question:	When you connect a mic into the input line. Can you mix it with the built-in mics
Answer:	No, but ZOOM makes (and Amazon sells) another model that will record FOUR channels --- the "same" two built-in mics PLUS two LINE/XLR jacks: the H5 (which I also own). (See here: http://amzn.to/2l8U4nC) (that's a lowercase L and N)
Question:	How can I use the zoom h1 as a dslr mic.? If it is possible do I have to press record on the zoom h1 and and press the record button on the dslr whe
Answer:	Just a note about recording into a dslr: the bitrate and sample rate you set on the zoom doesn't affect the bitrate and sample rate recorded onto the dslr file. Your dslr always determines the bitrate and sample rate. (IE: for most Canon's that's 44khz/16 bit). The audio quality from the zoom will be better than your on-camera mic simply because the microphone itself is higher quality, but don't expect to be recording 96khz/24 bit audio straight into your dslr's .mov files!
Question:	can I record a piece to video with the Zoom recording my voice and then synch it to video
Answer:	Sure thing. I use mine as a primary aiduo recorder for my Nikon D5300. I use the sound from the camera as areference track and then stnc the wave file from the Zoom to the video using Final Cut X. Works perfect with much better sound quality.
Question:	What does this device actually record onto - some sort of a memory card or flash drive? I'm looking for something that will record at least 6 hours
Answer:	You get roughly 12 hours on the 2GB micro SD card included, in MP3 320kbps. Quality is excellent. If you want WAV format your looking at about 2.5 hours with the stock card. Larger cards are cheap though so it's upgradable.

Product description

TASCAM has been revolutionizing Portastudio since they invented them. For decades, TASCAM's Portastudio have remained the ideal scratch pads and easy-to-use home recording devices. Utilized by seminal artists and home for legendary albums throughout the years, TASCAM has stayed true to manufacturing rugged, compact, feature-rich song-writing and demo tools. The DP-006 is the most compact solid-state multi-track recorder on the market. TASCAM equipped it with 6-channels (2 Mono and 2 Stereo/Mono), selectable track modes, built-in high-quality stereo condenser mics and 2 mic/line inputs. This recorder will easily fit into any gig bag, pocket or suitcase. Clean only with dry cloth

• Up to six tracks recording (2mono tracks+ 2mono/stereo switchable tracks)
• CD quality recording (16bit/44.1kHz)
• Two tracks simultaneous recording/ six tracks simultaneous playback
• Dedicated stereo master track available
• 2 Built-in omni-directional condenser microphones

User questions & answers

Question:	I like to record from my portable PA (JBL EON210P) w/ RCA & 1/4" output. Is this a good recorder or is there other better options
Answer:	The DP006 is an entry level 4-6 track recorder. It's not a professional board, but it does what it claims to do very well.
Question:	can you record a live performace
Answer:	Absolutely! However your results will depend on the placement of the device. You could record a live performance using either the internal mic or using external mics strategically located. This little unit is pretty diverse in it's application. Results depend on your recording acumen. Which develop over time.
Question:	Can you transfer your recording to a thumb drive
Answer:	You record individual tracks that are then mixed down by you into a stereo mp3 with this same unit. From there, you can do anything with the mp3 file - put it on a thumb drive, email it, upload it, etc. If you are asking "can you go directly to thumb drive?", I don't think there is an easy way. It has an SD card that you can take out and put in any card reader, then you would be able to transfer onto a thumb drive.
Question:	does this need external speakers or are they built in? also what would be a good micraphone to use for i need one further away from the unit
Answer:	It does need some sort of device to output sound. It is equipped for headphones. You can use any mic you like as well as a condenser if you have phantom power capabilities. The onboard mics are good quality as well.

User questions & answers

Question:	can it record mono? can it be used as a microphone
Answer:	Yes, it has the option of recording in mono.
Question:	Will this record interviews w/very soft speakers and louder recordings? Can the digital recordings be organized and edited on a PC or Mac
Answer:	It handles high sound pressure (e.g. rock bands). For quieter material, you can adjust its recording level yourself, or set it to automatically adjust itself. Recordings can be copied to your PC or Mac using the supplied USB cable, then it's up to you to provide your own editing software. Keep in mind: This is not an iPod, this is a serious techy device -- you will probably need to read the manual to get the most out of it. I did.
Question:	What is the recording capacity in hours
Answer:	英語It comes with a microSDHC card of 4GB. It can record up to 149 hours with the supplied card capacity (when MP3 32kbps recording)
Question:	does this record mp3s that I can put on my computer
Answer:	Yes! It has a wide range of mp3 quality recording settings (stereo or mono). Most of the time, I record in mp3 format. I usually use 192kbps, but others are available (32kbps-320kbps). Of course it also records in .WAV format for lossless quality at a cost of space. Any files recorded are transferred to your computer via included mini-USB to standard USB cable (USB2). I can't speak about the microphone quality, as I only record live events directly from my mixing console to the DR-05 via the line input of the DR-05. Love this unit.

User questions & answers

Question:	I'm assuming this is the successor to the DR
Answer:	You'd think. I own both. The interface is similar to the DR-40, but very much cleaned up and simplified. The physical layout addresses some of the DR-40 quirks, particularly the one where headphone levels were put on the front panel and input levels relegated to a pair of buttons on the left side -- the DR-44WL reverses that. The display screen makes levels much more prominent. The ports (line-out, combo XLR / ¼ inch inputs) are identical.But, adding WiFi and smartphone controls makes this a less-direct successor. The DR-44WL seems much more optimized for multi-tracking, and a little more hostile to easy external mic inputs.
Question:	With what kind of external microphones is this compatible? maybe the rode vmpr videomic pro r
Answer:	You shouldn't really have many, if any, limitations here. It has onboard mics, but it support mic and line in via XLR or TRS cables. It also has phantom power. In short, you should be able to use virtually any mic you want.
Question:	Can you be on real wifi while connected to this
Answer:	"Starting with firmware version 2.0 it is also possible to connect via an existing router or access point. Advantages are that (1) you can use other web services at the same time, and (2) Wi-Fi range might be larger" http://www.tascam.eu/en/dr-22wl.html https://www.tascam.eu/en/downloads/DR-22WL
Question:	Is this good for ghost hunting
Answer:	To the degree that anything is good for recording sounds emanating from your imagination, the wind, the house settling, and the subtle activities of pets, insects, and other small life forms in the nooks and crannies of a home. These days there are also a number of effective neuro-psychiatric compounds which would do an excellent job of eliminating the ghosts from your "attic", if they bother you. Clozapine and a Tascam go together great, a lot like a restraining order and a scary weird lady who wants to search your house for excessive ectoplasm. ; )

DR-22WL

The groundbreaking DR-22WL from TASCAM is the first portable recorder to include Wi-Fi for transport control, file transfer, and audio streaming to your smartphone or PC. Other innovations like the new Scene Dial make it easier than ever to capture great-sounding recordings and share them online. A set of stereo condenser microphones is arranged in true XY pattern for ideal stereo imaging. The eight-position Scene Dial selects recording settings for typical situations, or can be set to full manual for greater control.

Included in the DR-22WL is a Wi-Fi function for controlling its transport and transferring files to a smartphone or computer. A free app for iOS and Android controls the transport and transfers files for instant upload. For a recording beginner or experienced user looking for a great-sounding, portable recorder with Wi-Fi, the DR-22WL is the only choice.

Cardioid Condenser Mics in an X-Y Pattern

Cardioid condenser capsules are mounted in acoustically-tuned housings. As with all TASCAM recorders, the mic capsules were selected after extensive listening tests. The true X-Y pattern captures the stereo field in phase-alignment, for perfect imaging during playback.

Designed To Handle High Sound Pressure Levels – Up to 120dB

The design of the DR-22WL allows it to record loud sound sources, including rehearsals and concerts, without distortion. Up to 120 dB SPL means that a volume level over 10 times higher than the 105dB SPL maximum sound pressure of a movie theater can be captured without clipping. The high level capability also makes the DR-22WL ideal for sound effects gathering.

Superior Microphone Preamp and A/D Converter

A Cirrus Logic CS42L52 is used in the DR-22WL, a premium-quality audio codec. The A/D - D/A chip features both great audio performance and low power use for longer battery life. The built-in mics and the external inputs both pass through this low-noise audio input circuit.

Simple Wi-Fi Connections Without a Router

The DR-22WL connects with smartphones and other Wi-Fi devices directly. There is no need for a Wi-Fi router network or other external equipment. Wi-Fi connections can be established simply by inputting the information shown in the app. Connection status can be checked with an LED on the unit as well as the app screen. Even if the Wi-Fi connection is interrupted, recording will not stop.

Question:	Is this product easy to use
Answer:	Yes very easy and user friendly.
Question:	Can i connect this to a gemini mm1 mixer to record a dj set
Answer:	The recorder has a 3.5mm input, so you can certainly connect an analog out from your mixer to it and record from that input.
Question:	Does it have internal memory or does it require a SD memory card
Answer:	The DR-07X requires a micro-SD card. The card is not included. I use a 32 GB micro-SD card in mine, and it holds many hours of recording. A smaller card like the 16 GB will hold tons of recordings.
Question:	What kind of sd card does this take and what kind of cable to hook up to pc
Answer:	I purchased a SanDisk 128 GB micro SD card. The cable is a mini to a standard USB.

User questions & answers

Question:	I thought this had an AC power adapter so you didn't have to run on batteries. Is that true, or just batteries
Answer:	I've always used it with batteries. However, I did purchase the Zoom Accessory Pack for the H2n Portable Recorder which includes among other things an AC power adapter. Available at Amazon for $29.25.
Question:	This may seem like a silly question but i will be video taping using a camera while using this Zoom H2n to record. So how do I sync the 2 together and will it be a perfectly synced piece of video
Answer:	This is done in post. You have several options: 1) Use an audio/video sync app. Red Giant's Plural Eyes 4, is what I use and it is SUPER easy to use 2) Use your video editing app if it supports it. Adobe Premiere will do this sync, but not quite as good as Plural Eyes 3) Do a "Clap" at the beginning of each clip when recording, and manually sync them yourself where you see the large peak from the clap hope this helps
Question:	Can you get sound quality that's good enough for podcasts or radio
Answer:	If you attach a 2nd mic to filter background noise you will get excellent quality sound. By itself it's pretty good but, it will pick up any background noise so just don't podcast where there is a lot of that.
Question:	u mentioned coming with all accessories. do you mean the zoom aph2n accssory pack? thx
Answer:	Comes with SD card, fome wind cover, table top stand. Microphone adapter for microphone stands, batteries, USB cable, AV cables.

The Zoom H2n Handy Recorder

Zoom's H2n Handy Recorder is the only portable device to come with five built-in microphones and four different recording modes: X/Y, Mid-Side, 2-channel surround and 4-channel surround. The H2n can handle just about anything from live concert and rehearsal recording to location videography. It's also a great choice for generating lasting audio documents of important events like lectures, meetings, weddings, and parties.

Flexible inputs and outputs

The H2n offers a variety of inputs and outputs for flexibility in recording.

There's a Line In jack that can accept two channels of mic- and/or line-level signals (including microphones requiring plug-in power), as well as a stereo line out / headphone jack with a dedicated volume control. There's even a built-in speaker for fast monitoring without the need to make any connections.

In addition, the H2n's USB port allows recorded files to be imported into computer editing software such as the supplied WaveLab LE. You can even use the H2n as a 2-in/2-out audio interface or as a USB microphone.

X/Y

X/Y recording provides a great way to cover a wide area while still capturing sound sources in the center with clarity and definition. The H2n's built-in X/Y microphone provides two matched unidirectional mic elements set at a 90 degree angle relative to one another.

Mid-Side

The 'Mid' microphone element in the H2n's MS mic picks up signal coming from directly in front, while the 'Side' mics capture the sounds coming from the left and right. You can then adjust the relative level of each, either during recording or during post-production, to alter the stereo width while still maintaining perfect mono compatibility.

Surround

The H2n allows you to combine the signals from both the X/Y and MS microphones in order to create two- or four-channel surround sound recordings that capture everything you hear, not just those sounds coming from in front of you, but from all directions.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the cassette player automatically play side B or do you need to flip the tape
Answer:	Yeah. Fine for jotting down ideas. Naturally, if you were to play the amp on 20, I'm sure it would distort and sound bad. What wouldn't? The idea here, is a cheap and convenient way to electronically remember those ideas...that uses those cheap and old cassette tapes that are laying around.
Question:	do you have to have the detached mic, or does this also have a built in mic
Answer:	New and unopened. We needed it to play dictations back so the staff could type them up. It's worked perfectly so far!
Question:	Can I record a message off my cell phone
Answer:	I don't know what the other model is that's 29 dollars but I am a court stenographer and this one has a very good sound quality. But I also have as extras a brand thats 20 bucks and I always use external mic and the sound is good. It's a company with letters for a name. Jensen has been around for years. I'm happy with mine. And if the sound isnt good for recording I use ththeththem fir play back.
Question:	does this recorder use regular size tapes or the mini tapes
Answer:	Yes, it's about the size of a shoe box in length. Definitely not a walkman and also not stereo (mono only). Good product for voice audio recordings, transcriptions, etc.

Question:	Can i connect multiple mics on this
Answer:	No
Question:	Can you take this on an airplane in a non-carryon bag
Answer:	I have tried 3 different brands of AA NiMH batteries in DR60DmkII and all work, though I have the BP-6AA now because the DR60DmkII goes through them so quickly! Though accessible when on a tripod, changing the batteries required that I lift up tripod + backup recorder I mount on top on its side. The BP-6AA + DR60DmkII lasts all day with six 4th gen Eneloops. As noted, just remember to change the "Battery Type" menu item under Others > System to NiMH.
Question:	How man lav mics does this come with? How many jacks are they? I need at least 2 jacks
Answer:	Right now I use the Blackwed, model # BWB15TA223, it's a 8000mAh bank. Was able to get a few good hours out of it.
Question:	how is the audio quality with the external mic?....... thanks
Answer:	This one has pretty red colored handled in front - Seriously, after field and smoke testing the DR60D and this one, you prob won't be able to tell any difference. It's still a good unit, don't get me wrong; the DR60D is a great unit that I have used paired up with a Rode NTG-2 for a lot of great audio, but aside from a 'better' preamp (which most people won't notice in the audio quality anyway) there isn't a reason to upgrade to this if you already own a DR60D - Although I will say the colored handles do look pretty cool, but not a valid reason to upgrade from the previous unit. If you own the previous one, no need to get this. If you're in the market for one, get the newer one. Cheers!

DR-100mkIII

TASCAM’s top-of-the-line Handheld Digital Recorder, the DR-100mkIII boasts a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 100dB, delivering the best audio performance in the history of TASCAM portable stereo recorders. Designed to meet the needs of the most demanding audio designers and engineers, this new model combines robust reliability, an updated user interface and studio quality sonic performance to deliver a truly breathtaking audio experience.

Dual AKM AK4558 converters with VELVET SOUND architecture

Used in a variety of combinations, depending upon the selected function, the DR-100mkIII features dual AKM AK4558 converters with VELVET SOUND architecture, providing both high sound quality and low power consumption, achieving a signal-to-noise ratio of 102dB

XLR/TRS inputs and HDDA mic preamps

The XLR/TRS inputs, used to connect external mics, deliver the highest sound quality and lowest noise of any TASCAM Handheld Digital Recorder. HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) mic preamps are also included to maintain a pristine audio signal path throughout

New design for directional mics

A newly designed microphone housing for the directional mics is based on exhaustive research of previous TASCAM handheld recorders and achieves the perfect marriage of protection and performance. Similarly, the omnidirectional stereo microphone setup features a sound pressure level tolerance of 125dB SPL – able to withstand virtually any audio environment - and includes an integrated shock mount structure to suppresses unwanted vibration and handling noise.

Dual battery structure

With a dual battery structure that features a built-in high-capacity lithium-ion battery as well as with hot-swappable AA batteries, operation is possible for extended periods of time and is ready to go when you are. Additionally, the DR-100mkIII can be rapidly charged by connecting an AC adapter and even support USB Bus power from an external battery pack commonly used to charge mobile phones and tablets.

Dual level recording function

TASCAM’s exclusive Dual Level Recording function simultaneously records a secondary backup file at a lower gain level than the primary recording. This safety file, recorded at a 12db lower level protects your recording session from unexpected volume spikes and accidental overload.

Aluminum body

Marrying light weight with long-term reliability, the TASCAM DR-100mkIII’s tough aluminum body ensures many years of trouble-free use.

Improved user interface

The user interface has been designed to maximize visual confirmation, and includes a large LCD screen (double the size of the screen on the DR-100mkII), dedicated status LEDs for features such as record levels and status and easy-to-read legends on the casework.

Dual format recording function

Dual format recording function allows simultaneous recording of both uncompressed WAV(BWF) and MP3 files. This provides the user with instant access to both the original, full resolution master file and a compressed MP3 file (with a much smaller file size) for easy emailing or posting to social media sites.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can an acoustic electric guitar be plugged directly into the 1/4" input for clean recording
Answer:	It is not.
Question:	Is phantom power available for the additional 2 channel XLR accessory
Answer:	The 4 XLR inputs create individual mono files from the mics attached. The attached mics, 2 at 90 degrees as shown in picture, create a single stereo file. All 5 of these files can be mixed using an audio package. I did this using 4 mics and the 90 degree onboard to record my nephews band playing a gig. I remixed the audio using those files and then laid that over the video track of same song. worked beautifully.
Question:	Will it create separate audio files from 2 shotgun mics and 2 lav mics so I can then create my own mix in Post? Does it all go into one file
Answer:	Turn it up to 10 and rip the knob off!!! =11
Question:	Does the rotary gain control go to
Answer:	Thanks for your question. The cable comes with the inverter is 25mm2 600mm-long(23.6inch). Any questions, please feel free to contact us.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you plug an external mic into it so that the recorder is by me but the mic is several feet away
Answer:	yes, definitely possible. you can actually record 2 different mics at the same time
Question:	Hi, Does it comes with the charger
Answer:	Hello, No it doesn't come with a charger as it's sold separately. The device can also be used with 2 AA batteries.
Question:	can this be hardwired into a sound system to record from the sound system
Answer:	Really depends on the sound system. It has XLR, 1/4 in., and 1/8 in. inputs. You can patch it into a mixing board or home stereo easy enough with one of those plugs. I typically go with an RCA to 1/8in. adapter from the source, and it sounds pretty good. If you're running an XLR out from a speaker, you may need to test your settings. Hope this helps.
Question:	Does that cable that comes in the bundle connect to camera? I don't want to have to record sound separately from video. Appreciate any input. Thanks
Answer:	That's what it is for, but it requires a male to male cable, as it is only 4-6 inches long. The attenuation cable is touchy, so I bought another elsewhere.

User questions & answers

Question:	Once you download mp3 to your computer, can you then burn a CD to use in your car
Answer:	Yes. Depending on the software you use,.... It comes with Audacity and you can also download Audacity online. I already had it so.... Using Audacity to record, it saves as an Audacity file. Again, using Audacity, you can then convert to wav, mp3, or other formats. It does not automatically record to mp3, it records as a digital file, not mp3. So to answer your question, once recorded as a digital file, you can convert to mp3, yes.
Question:	is it compatible with windows
Answer:	Audacity is awesome software. I use it on Windows 10 all day. Make sure you get the latest version. It is free, btw.
Question:	how can I download the software
Answer:	There is apparently not a special software for this device. If you have Audacity or GarageBand on your computer (or download Audacity using the included disc/suggested link) you should be able to plug in this device and record your own MP3's from it.
Question:	Will this also just play cassettes
Answer:	Ok-just read the answer from a question in 2016! --YES it can!
