Tascam DR-44WL Portable Handheld Recorder with Wi-Fi

Allowing you to record 4 tracks of audio simultaneously while providing Wi-Fi enabled transport control and file sharing the Tascam DR-44WL Portable Handheld Recorder with Wi-Fi features a built-in XY stereo microphone and dual combo XLR inputs and is capable of tracking in up to 24-bit/96kHz resolution. Thanks to its built-in Wi-Fi which requires no external network you can control all transport functions via a free iOS and Android app. Additionally you can use the built-in Wi-Fi to stream playback to your mobile device as well as transfer files directly to your smart device or computer for quick upload to social media. The recorder features Dual-Level recording which records duplicate tracks at a lower volume to create a lower-level safety track. It also supports Dual-Format recording which tracks simultaneously as WAV and MP3 files so you have access to smaller file sizes for sharing while maintaining the higher-quality WAV as a master track. The Tascam DR-44WL records to SD cards but includes a microSD card adapter for additional recording options. Also included are a windscreen a mic grip a shoe mount adapter a 4GB microSD card an AC adapter 4 AA batteries a USB cable and a carrying case. A pair of studio-quality condenser microphones top the Tascam DR-44WL arranged in a true XY pattern for detailed imaging and phase coherence. The mic capsules are built to withstand up to 132dB SPL - as loud as a jet airplane - without distorting. Record concerts and rehearsals with the confidence that your recording won t be distorted. In addition to the great-sounding new capsules a shock mounting system has been developed for lower handling noise and rumble. The capsules are suspended in a rubber mount that avoids low frequency noises when handheld mounted on a camera or used on a tripod. If levels get so high that your track is distorted that recording can t be saved with any kind of mastering. The Tascam DR-44WL includes a limiter to keep levels under control but an even more effective system is the Dual-Level Recording feature. Dual-Level Recording is a function that solves this problem by simultaneously recording two stereo files at different levels. If your recording is distorted you have a lower level safety track that won t be distorted. Note when the Dual-Level recording function is enabled a maximum of two stereo tracks can be recorded simultaneously. The XLR/TRS external input jacks accept either microphone or line level sources. Balanced or unbalanced signals can be plugged in at either +4 or -10 levels using the locking XLR connector or the 1/4 jack. The Tascam DR-44WL supplies 48V Phantom Power for condenser microphones that require it. Both the internal mics and external inputs are used during 4-channel recording for live recording. A programmable gain amplifier (PGA) is used to adjust the level of the audio inputs. In many devices the audio codec level is adjusted to control levels. In the Tascam DR-44WL the mic gain circuit i...
