Tascam is a professional sound equipment brand under the famous Dai-ichi Audio (TEAC) Group in Japan, founded in 1971. TEAC Group is an industry leader in the fields of home audio equipment and tape recorders. Based on TEAC's recording technology, Tascam began to develop its audio equipment products, and the world's first multi-track tape home recording equipment was invented by Tascam, and many TV stations, radio stations, and recording studios are now using Tascam equipment.
Tascam is one of the first brands to connect with mobile phones, and its latest product, the DR44-WL, supports WIFI transmission function, and can also be set up and remotely controlled through the mobile phone app, which is far more convenient than Sony and Zoom.
Tascam's product naming rules are very simple, usually starting with DR, the larger the number after it, the more professional it is, below 20 is the entry level, 20-60 is the quasi-professional level, and more than 60 is a very professional level, which is not suitable for mass consumers.
In fact, most entry-level voice recorders use electret microphones, which have low cost, simple process and small size, but the sound effect is far inferior to condenser microphones.
Tascam's entry-level product, the DR-05, is equipped with two fixed condenser microphones, which can adjust the sensitivity of the microphone according to the scene situation, and the recording effect is also good, so it has been on the list of the best voice recorders under $100 from many review agencies.
In the domestic market, DR-05 and Zoom H1n are the first choice for entry-level voice recorders, and the sound quality and effect of both are among the best in their class. In contrast, the DR-05 has a stronger grasp of the detailed sound of the environment, and the H1n focuses on the recording of human voices.
Among the quasi-professional voice recorder products, the DR-22WL and DR-44WL are both representative products of Tascam. Both models can be remotely operated via WiFi connection to the mobile APP, the DR-22WL is smaller in size, more suitable for one-handed use, and the built-in microphone is enough for daily use. The DR-44WL is more professional, and the XLR interface design can support up to four tracks of recording. If used with a camera, the DR-44WL is recommended.
