TASCAM has raised the bar with portable audio recording with the new DR-100mkIII Handheld Digital Stereo Recorder. The newest generation of TASCAM’s flagship Handheld Digital Stereo Recorder delivers crystal clear, ultra-high resolution recordings up to 192kHz/24-bit resolution, with an unprecedented 109dB S/N ratio. Ultra-precise, temperature-compensated clocking and high-performance dual-mono AKM “Velvet Sound” converters combine with TASCAM’s acclaimed HDDA microphone preamps to deliver the ultimate in pristine, transparent recordings. Coupled with support for SDXC cards up to 128GB, the DR-100mkIII is truly in a class by itself.

The DR-100mkIII has dual stereo mics in both AB and omnidirectional patterns for maximum versatility, two XLR/combo jacks, switchable phantom power, and a dedicated input level control for fast, tactile operation. And the DR-100mkIII’s innovative dual battery technology utilizes a built-in Li-ion rechargeable as well as AA batteries, giving you extended recording times and the ability to change batteries on the fly.

The DR-100mkIII features TASCAM’s exclusive Dual Recording Mode, which simultaneously captures a lower level safety track, to safeguard against unexpected source level spikes. And the DR-100mkIII sports TASCAM’s legendary durability as well, built on a rugged black aluminum chassis that’s road-worthy enough for the most hardcore location duties.
