TASCAM's HS-P82 offers 8 tracks of the highest quality
recording, yet it's built for the rigors of location recording with
reliable solid-state performance. The HS-P82 is built for location
television and film production audio, with eight microphone inputs for
big shoots or reality programs. The standard XLR microphone inputs
include phantom power and analog 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. Functions like a 5-second pre-record buffer, front
panel lockout and headphone output alert signal further inspire
confidence.
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 provided. All of
this is controlled from a color touchscreen interface which makes
operation fast and simple.
The HS-P82 from TASCAM is built on 30 years of reliable field
recording. See how affordable the state of the art can be with TASCAM's
