Tascam SD-20M Audio Recorder

Full Description

Versatile recording formats

The SD-20M operates on SD cards. Thanks to the accessible nature of this format, you'll be able to easily store and archive all performances, without having to worry about file conversion later down the line. Once filled, simply connect to your operating system, transfer the material, format the card, and you're good to go again. The support of SDXC cards provide storage capacities of up to 128GB. This means you'll be able to record shows, plays, and meetings, without the fear of running low on memory.

Tha audio recorder captures signals in a uncompressed WAV format of 24 bit / 96 kHz. The premium level of quality means the system is excellent for tasks that require high fidelity reproduction such as music concerts. If you're conscious about file size then you're able to adjust the recording format to MP3. Its lower bit rate will enable you to record more material, without running out of memory.

Ideal for a wide range of tasks

The automatic recording function allows the system to immediately commence recording once the signal is detected. You'll never miss a bar, or beat thanks to this handy little tool. The ability to add up to 99 marks allows you to easily locate the beginning of any track. This is particularly useful when working in live sound and theatre, where scene changes may be required. If you're transcribing a meeting then the variable speed audition will become your new best-friend. This allows you to manipulate the speed of sound during playback, without affecting pitch.
