{"product_id":"tascam-portable-digital-recorder-mk-iii","title":"TASCAM Portable Digital Recorder Mk Iii","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct  Information:   Road-ready, studio-quality 192Khz\/24bit compatible linear PCM recorder 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. The pinnacle of two-channel performace  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  The DR-100mkIII uses two independent AK4558 ADC converters. By  eliminating interference between left and right channels,  signal-to-noise ratio is maximized and audio fidelity is improved.  In addition, each of those AD converters can work in a Dual ADC  mode. The two AD converters work in tandem then combine their  results for a 109dB S\/N ratio, beating the (already excellent) 102dB  S\/N ratio achieved when recording in standard mode.   Note: As the S\/N ratio when recording exceeds the S\/N ratio of the  entire circuit, data recorded in dual mono ADC mode will be limited  to a 102dB S\/N ratio when played back on the DR-100mkIII. This does  not affect the S\/N ratio of the actual file, which is maintained at  109dB S\/N  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  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.  The TASCAM DR-100mkIII supports high definition recording at both  96kHz\/24bit and 192kHz\/24, ensuring that remote recordings achieve  the same sonic fidelity as their studio-born counterparts TASCAM reliability and features designed for professionals in the  field  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.  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.   Marrying light weight with long-term reliability, the TASCAM  DR-100mkIII’s tough aluminum body ensures many years of trouble-free  use.  The precision of the built-in clock is crucial when digital  recordings made on what device are to be used in conjunction with  materials recorded on other devices, such as when combining digital  audio and video assets. To ensure stability, the DR-100mkIII  utilizes the same Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO)  used in professional studio master recorders. Moreover, the TCXO is  not affected by the temperature of the environment, critical for a  portable device which must maintain its precision in support of  high-quality recording. 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 The TASCAM DR-100mkIII offers improved usability based on user  feedback  When working on location, decisions must be made quickly and  efficiently, and an intuitive and consistent User Interface is  critical. By gathering feedback from users of the original DR-100  and the mkII, we have been able to add a variety of usability  enhancements designed to streamline workflow and help audio  professionals achieve success quickly and efficiently.  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.  Dedicated hardware controls have been implemented for the most  commonly accessed features to enable quick, positive operation in  the field  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.   XRI (eXtended Recording Information) function stores keeps track of  all recording settings as part of the file. This powerful features  allows the user to easily double-check the details of the original  recording for logging or replication of recording conditions at a  later date. This information includes date and time of recording,  input sources selection and levels, ADC mode on\/off status and more.  XRI information is stored as part of the BWF data block.
