Description

The Tascam DR-60DmkII 4-Channel Portable Recorder for DSLR is the new audio recording solution for on-set filmmakers and videographers using DSLRs. For years, filmmakers have been trying different methods for recording audio - including the use of bulky recorders designed for music and trying to transform the inferior audio technology built-into DSLRs. Now TASCAM has designed an answer that pros and amateurs alike have been waiting for. The DR-60D is a brand new 4-track solid-state recorder utilizing TASCAMs decades of experience. The recorder utilizes high-grade HDDA pre-amps, legendary AD converters, and a durable but lightweight structure and shape. This device will fit snuggly under any camera or into any rig, and record up to 96kHz/24-bit high quality audio straight to SD/SDHC media. Filmmakers have at their disposal two 1/4"-XLR Locking Combo MIC/LINE Inputs, 3.5mm Stereo MIC Input, Camera In, Camera Out, Line Out and Headphone Out. Both 1/4"-XLR Combo Inputs supply +48V Phantom Power and the 3.5mm Input supplies Plug-In Power for microphones requiring a bias voltage. The DR-60D is incredibly easy to use, employing TASCAMs very popular user interface and external controls for every major operation. The body structure, soft-touch keys and dials are designed specifically to help eliminate handling noise. The multiple record modes include, 4-Channel Record, Auto Record and TASCAMs Dual Record "Safety Track" Mode make the DR-60D one of the most versatile recorders on the market. Quality mic preamps are a necessity for quality sound. The DR-60DmkIIs HDDA mic preamplifiers (High Definition Discrete Architecture) employ discrete circuitry and parts, approved after months of evaluation testing by Tascam. The HDDA s circuit achieves a high equivalent input noise (EIN) of -120 dBu for low input noise. The DR-60DmkII mic preamps have been u.pgraded from their predecessor for up to 64 dB of gain with XLR input jacks for greater cable comp.

  • Great sound from a portable package!
style: DSLR Recorder
Excellent audio recording that won't break the bank! My Sony DSLR needed a quality audio solution that could accept XLR mic with phantom power. I found my solution in the TASCAM DR-60DMKII. Why you need it: This device will accept professional microphones that have XLR connectors and require phantom power. The DR-60mkII can provide phantom power even while on battery power and on the go. It has a standard tripod mount screw on the bottom, as well as a place for you to attach your cameras tripod mount to it. You can stack them on your tripod providing and easy way to record high quality audio during DSLR video production. Usage: I won't get into every feature of the mkII as you can see those in the item description, but it's safe to say it does more than expected. I had heard the previous version had issue with the pre-amp causing poor audio quality. I can safely say this issues have been resolved with this current version. Audio is clear and will record as good a quality as your microphone allows. I use this for recording external audio for video, as well as recording audio sessions for my podcast. The user interface is straight forward and anyone with any experience in audio recording equipment should be able to use without any need for instructions. This unit uses standard SD cards for recording so storage should always be easy to come by. As I satiated above, it fits nicely under any camera rig and doesn't ad a lot of weight or bulk. Unit is much smaller and lighter than I expected from the product shots. One great feature is second safety track recorded at a lower level to ensure your audio stays consistent and clean throughout the recording. This has come in handy a few times already! Battery life: The Dr-60mkII can be powered by usb, alkaline, or rechargeable batteries. Battery times can vary greatly depending on weather or not phantom power is used. I find I can get about 1.5 - 2 hours out of Phantom power. I usually use eneloop rechargeable AA batteries and carry an extra set if I think I will be in the field for longer. It's more than sufficient for my needs. Build Quality: The TASCAM DR-60mkII is built extremely well. It has a solid feel, while still being extremely light. The buttons and dials all feel very well made and it should withstand years of use in the field. The display is a basic "old school" lcd with and orange/red backlight. It is nothing fancy, but it does what it needs to do. Incorporating a more modern display, or color LCD would have been unnecessary and would have had a negative impact on battery life. I think they made the right choice here. Overall, I am very happy with the Dr-60mkII. Audio quality is great, and the device is a great addition to any professional setup. ... show more

  • Clean preamps, easy to use and tiny
style: DSLR Recorder
The media could not be loaded. The DR-60D MKII is optimized for DSLR video audio—lacking music extras like a tuner and metronome—but sports most of features of the DR-40 but housed in a tripod and camera friendly case. APPEARANCE & BUILD: Although small, the boxy form factor isn’t palm friendly and is at its best on a Magic Arm or tripod. The plastic body feels well made but isn’t as sturdy as the metal clad DR-100 II. Unlike most Tascam portables, there are no built-in mics. A tiny monochrome LCD displays levels, modes and menus. It’s not a touchscreen but is clearly visible in darkness and direct sunlight. And, because it’s not angled like the DR-70D LCD, it’s visible in a bag, on the floor or topside a camera. A tripod socket beneath and tripod bolt above allow connection to studio support and cameras. I use an Arca plate for fast mount/dismount. The top tripod bolt feels flimsy and I wouldn't trust it to hold anything heavier than a battery pack. CONTROLS: I choose the DR-60D MKII over the DR-70D due to the abundance of physical controls—specifically phantom power switches—and the forward facing LCD. When attached on an arm or tripod, the frontal LCD and controls are easier to see and use compared to “palm” recorders like the H6 or DR-100 MKII. The rubberized buttons and wheels operate smoothly and are easy to access. Channels 1/2 have individual gain controls but, oddly, 3/4 sports only a single global level adjustment. MIC CONNECTION: Combo XLR and TRS inputs allow recording from external mics or line level sources such as mixers or outboard mic preamps. XLR preamps have four levels of input sensitivity but, unlike the DR-100 II, sensitivity is set via menus (no switches). There’s a switch to toggle XLR inputs from mic, phantom power and line level. Mini/3.5 mm stereo mic input is also supported, defaulting to channels 3/4. Power for the 3.5mm mic input lacks a switch and must be activated from a menu. BATTERIES: Four AA batteries are housed in a backside compartment. Batteries can be swapped out while the unit is on a tripod. I use Eneloop Pro rechargeable batteries and they only last about four hours with 48v phantom power. Standard Eneloop work okay but the slightly larger size make them tough to install/remove. The short battery life is disappointing but easy to work around (see below). The mini-USB port is only for bus power or uploading to a computer. For long sessions I plug in a USB “lipstick” battery bank and it yields an additional four or five hours. For marathon sessions I strap on a USB battery bank, the Anker Astro E4 13000mAh Portable Charger: power for days with phantom power and can be attached to the top of the DR-60D with a smartphone tripod mount. SOUND QUALITY: I mainly record soft finger picked guitars and preamps have plenty of gain when set to “high” sensitivity: 25 to 50% gain for -12 dB set with KM-184 mics. Quiet passages and rests of classical guitar pieces were wonderfully clean and devoid of noise. Preamps are significantly cleaner than the DR-40 and a notch better than the DR-100 II. The DR-60 MKII and two Neumann KM-184 mics were used to record the audio of my uploaded video at 48kHz/24 bit (synced to EOS 70D video). Finally, the 60D MKII can record various combinations of stereo and mono modes, e.g., stereo plus two mono tracks, but these tracks must be recorded simultaneously. In other words, unlike the DR-40 and DR-44WL, it lacks the ability to “punch in,” while playing back a track. Normally I’d add additional audio in a DAW during post production but it seems odd to omit such features when similar units have them. LAST BLURB: I'm happy with the DR-60D: excellent recording quality, clean preamps, plenty of gain for soft instruments and easy to use form factor for "selfie" audio and video recording. Operation is straightforward and I barely needed to open the manual. Cons are short battery life, no built-in mics, small LCD and no punch-in features. All in all, the DR-60D MKII is a great choice for those needing to record live music performances and DSLR audio. ... show more
