Tascam has launched the SD-20M solid-state recorder, aimed at use in schools, houses of worship and conferences as affordable solution for long-form recording.
The 1U-high rackmount includes a pair of microphone preamps with phantom power for direct microphone recording. Both the mic inputs and line inputs can be recorded simultaneously in four-channel mode. The dual recording mode captures a copy of your audio at a lower level, as insurance against distorted takes.
The SD-20M includes a battery backup system – AA batteries can keep recording for hours in case of power loss. 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 SD-20M will ship in May 2016, at an estimated street price of US$249.99.
