TASCAM DR-10L -Channel Portable Studio Recorder

Marvel in miniaturisation. Fully featured for those serious pro-audio / sound projects where turn-around time is precious and second-takes or failure is not permitted. Six stars out of five.

If you are running a professional video production, the Tascam DR-10L should not be your primary audio source because not monitoring your audio for the duration of an interview is highly unwise to say the least. If you are a videographer who does high end commercial type video and you want to have high quality audio, you should definitely have as many options at your disposal as possible. Namely, you should have a quality sound mixer with a boom mic. Boom audio, when engineered correctly is beneficial for so many reasons. Secondly, miking your interview subject is crucial bc you simply need crystal clear audio with little to no noise. That is why a decent wireless mic kit is crucial.All that said, let me tell you why this is such an outstanding mic option when it comes to wedding video. I have shot hundreds of weddings. It doesn’t matter how good you are, they are stressful and no one anywhere will disagree. Few aspects are as stressful when it comes to one’s audio. You are in an unfamiliar environment, you are recording audio from multiple individuals and most likely room sound/music, and you are there to shoot video so your priority is already so devoted just to that. For years, I used many wireless RF lav mic kits and varying levels of success. So many scenarios are at play. Interference from other nearby RF systems and potentially hundreds of smartphones all around you. The subject walks far enough away and the signal potentially gets lost. Perhaps worst of all, when something does go wrong, your audio is ruined bc you cannot interrupt the event to fix said issue. While most of my shoots have been successful, I can’t tell you how terrible it is scrambling and panicking that half of your shoot’s importance is in the toilet. Unexplained noise, drops in signal, it is a living nightmare. So, my recommendation for ensuring flawless audio for wedding video shoot is 2 fold: clip a DR-10L on your groom and your officiant and hit record. It is literally set and forget. Secondly, use something like a Tascam DR-40 or Zoom H6 plugged into the PA system or placed it in front of a loudspeaker. At the very least this gives you nice, clean master audio (line feed is most ideal). The nicest thing about going this route is you don’t experience any audio-related stress and you can focus entirely on your video.

En general muy buen dispositivo, muy confiable, el sonido es de calidad. Como para grabar documental y olvidarte del tema del sonido, mientras esté bien colocado no va tener mayores problemas. El único punto en contra, es que no sé si todas o sólo la mía, la goma que protege la ranura de la memoria microSD, es muy endeble y no se asegura bien: hay de dos, o quitársela, ya que la memoria queda un 90% dentro de la ranura y parece bien asegurada; o pegarle un trocito de cinta maskin para evitar que la goma se abra en una grabación. Y si se abre en realidad no pasa nada tampoco (algunos otras radios con grabadoras no la tienen), pero si está buena la protección extra. En general muy satisfecho. Hay que entender que es una grabadora, no es un transmisor.

non. i ha mai deluso, veramente professionale.

Discounted and it still works very well! The audio quality grand. And it's light, slim enough I can conseal it beneath clothes- the added hook for the mic itself is sturdy and holds well.
