Tascam SD-20M, SOLID STATE RECORDER WITH MIC INPUTS, Easy-to-use, single-rackspace SD card recorder with XLR mic inputs
The Tascam SD-20M is a simple-to-use solid-state recorder for demanding installation. The 1U rackmount includes a pair of microphone preamps with phantom power for direct microphone recording. Both mic inputs and line inputs of the Tascam SD-20M can be recorded simultaneously in four-channel mode. The dual recording mode of the Tascam SD-20M can captures a copy of your audio at a lower level, as insurance against distorted takes. The Tascam SD-20M includes a battery backup system - AA batteries can keep recording for hours in case of power loss. Also, a wired remote or footswitch can be attached to control recording and playback. Variable speed playback allows the playback to be changed without affecting the pitch. The Tascam SD-20M is built and designed for installations like schools, house of worship, and conferences. Also, the Tascam SD-20M is a flexible, affordable solution for long-form recording.
