The Product

The Tascam HS-P82 is an eight track field recorder delivering the highest quality audio recording, built for the rigours of location work with reliable solid-state performance. The HS-P82 is built specifically for location television and film production audio, with eight microphone inputs for complex shoots or reality programs. The standard XLR microphone inputs offer phantom power and analogue limiting, with trims controlled from recessed front panel controls. In addition to the eight individual tracks, a stereo mixdown can be recorded for instant use during editing.

Audio is recorded at up to 192kHz 24 bit WAV format to a pair of Compact Flash cards. This solid state media is completely reliable with no moving parts, and you can record to both cards simultaneously for extra security. The Broadcast WAV files include iXML metadata for quick import into nearly any video or audio editing system, either via the USB 2.0 connection or a standard card reader.

The HS-P82 offers several options for power. It runs on either AA or NP batteries, an included AC adapter, external DC input or a V-mount adapter for Endura batteries. An internal slate microphone is available for naming takes and functions like a 5-second pre-record buffer, front panel lockout and headphone output alert signal further inspire confidence in this product. For high-resolution music recording, a set of AES/EBU connectors is available for attaching pedigree A/D converters and preamplifiers. SMPTE timecode in and out, video and word sync are also provided, all of which is controlled from a colour touchscreen interface which makes operation fast and simple.

The HS-P82 from Tascam gives the opportunity to own a comprehensive, feature rich professional field recorder for a price otherwise undreamt of a few months ago.
