Product Description

The Tascam DR680 was a great mobile recording unit and the new MK2 is even better. When you want great quality audio on the go this is the place to start.

Featuring 6 XLR/TRS inputs with phantom power, and a digital input for versatility, its easy to record live music with multiple mics, capture sound effects in surround, or document film shoots or events with multiple microphones.

Microphone preamps have a significant impact on the quality of the recorded audio. The DR-680MKII has HDDA mic preamps - designed by TASCAM with carefully selected components. Each HDDA mic preamp is built with a differential amplification circuit that employs discrete architecture, and made with parts selected for their audio quality. These preamps also provide +48V phantom power.

Simultaneous recording of 4 channels in MP3 format possible

Recording of MP3 files with up to 4 channels is also possible at 96, 128, 192 and 320 kbps. This allows efficient control of files sizes when in situations requiring long recording times.Stereo or mono file can be selected for file type.

Take it with you

SD, SDHC and SDXC cards are used as recording and playback media, and the compact form offers excellent vibration resistance. Along with the included shoulder strap, this unit has a built-in folding stand for tabletop use, making operation easy in a variety of situations.
