TASCAM DR-60DMKII 4-Track Recorder/Mixer

Reach new heights of creativity and quality with the Tascam DR-60DmkII, a next-gen 4-track solid-state recorder for film, TV, live events, and web broadcast.

Building on decades of professional recording expertise, the DR-60DMKII from Tascam is a 4-Track Recorder/Mixer specifically engineered with on-set filmmakers and videographers in mind. With an intuitive layout, easy-to-navigate menus, and simple operation, this next-generation device is perfect for capturing film, TV, live events, and webcasts. Its low-noise operation, soft-touch buttons, and dedicated gain controls are just a few of the features that make it a versatile tool that’s ideal for filming in the studio and out in the field.

Enjoy 4-track solid-state recording with enhanced options when you take advantage of the DR-60MKII’s multiple recording modes. Use Four-Channel Mode to record to all 4 mic inputs. Automatically save a copy of your audio at a lower level using Dual Recording—a great way to create a backup track in case of audio distortion. Capture every nuance of your audio with the DR-60DMKII’s upgraded HDDA microphone preamps, which deliver up to 64dB of gain. Record up to 4 channels at a time to the internal SD Card, at up to 96kHz/24-bit WAV file resolution.

Get the best sound for your project’s needs with four flexible mic input options. Two of the mic inputs use locking XLR connectors with 48V phantom power, while the other two use a 1/8” stereo connector for wireless and lavalier mics.

This portable recorder is an updated model of the award-winning DR-60D and is designed to allow you to easily mount it under a DLSR camera rig. The result is a streamlined setup that dispenses with the need for bulky recorders, without having to rely on limited audio quality from your camera’s built-in microphone.

The DR-60DMKII has all the connectivity you need to get the job done efficiently and intuitively. A Camera Output sends the mic mix to the camera for later synchronization. A Camera Input lets you monitor playback. Additional I/O includes a headphone out and line out.
