The TASCAM HD-P2 Portable High-Definition Stereo Audio Recorder is the professional solution for recording live and on-location events. It records at up to 192kHz/24-bit resolution to Compact Flash media, and its audio files are instantly available to DAWs through the built-in high-speed FireWire computer connection.
The user interface is designed for fast and intuitive use under stressful one-take-only situations, and its large, angled LCD is perfect for any application from over-the-shoulder location recording to concert recording and commercial use.
The HD-P2 records in stereo from 44.1kHz to 192kHz, at 16- or 24-bit, to affordable Compact Flash media. Not only is Compact Flash absolutely silent, so no transport noise will show up on your recording, but the recorded audio is written directly as Broadcast WAVE files for immediate use in digital audio workstations.
On the input side, the unit has a pair of XLR mic inputs with phantom power and analog peak limiting to curb distortion during unpredictable live events. The input level control allows the user to change the level without taking their eyes off the action. The HD-P2 also features unbalanced RCA ins and outs as well as S/PDIF digital I/O. The unit even includes a FireWire jack for the fastest possible transfer of files to your PC or Mac computer.
Monitoring is available through a headphone out that features its own individual level control. A built-in microphone is also provided for interviews and educational use.
The TASCAM HD-P2 runs for approximately 5.5 hours on readily-available AA alkaline batteries, and weighs less than two pounds with batteries installed.
