NAMM: TASCAM DR-680 UPGRADE
22 January 2015
Tascam’s popular eight-track field recorder, the DR-680, has been given a major update. Improvements in the MkII include a new op-amp and capacitor for the mic preamps to deliver improved audio quality; support for SDXC cards, on top of readily available SD/SDHC cards; Take (file) numbers can be reset using the ‘Take No. Init’ function; improved battery life (battery now lasts 150% longer); improved clock precision for more accurate sync to video devices; a dual recording function allows two files to be recorded simultaneously at different levels (a second file can be recorded simultaneously at a lower level for a distortion-free safety track); the DR-680MKII can load and play back multitrack audio files (ie. those prepared with a DAW); and there’s now support for lithium batteries. Get onto the Tascam site to check out all the original features that have made the DR-680 so popular.
