TASCAM

Capture song ideas before they float away, or get all the important meeting notes recorded as well.

TASCAM’s DR-07mkII improves on one of their best-selling portable recorders ever with adjustable microphones, clear sound quality, and a great new design. The stereo recorder features a pair of adjustable condenser microphones. The built-in cardioid pattern mics can be moved from an XY position, for tight imaging, to an AB position, for a wider ambient sound. You choose the best sound depending on the source and environment.

Superior Sound Quality
The sound of the DR-07mkII reflects over 30 years of TASCAM’s recording experience. A separate power supply for the codec enables the full capabilities of the A/D and D/A converter, and separate analog & digital circuit boards and low impedance circuit design reduce noise in the design. The DR-07mkII records to microSD or microSDHC media, recording in MP3 or WAV (BWF) file format at up to 96kHz/24-bit resolution.

The 1/8" mic/line input allows you to plug in your own microphones and can supply plug-in power for mics that need it. The Level Align function prevents uneven volume levels during playback through the 1/8” headphone output or built-in speaker. Variable-Speed Audition–which changes playback speed without affecting pitch–and looping are also available during playback for transcription or learning new music. 17.5 hours of longer battery life at 44.1kHz/16-bit, WAV (BWF) is long enough for any recording situation.

Advanced Recording Features
Sharing some features with the new DR-05, the DR-07mkII makes recording simple enough for any musician. The Peak reduction function sets the optimum recording level even in recording to avoid the over level. Quick Menu selects commonly used parameters in playback or record like auto level setting or limiting, while deeper settings are available through a full-featured setup menu.

Some DR-07mkII features that aren’t found on the DR-05 include Overdub mode, which records over your previous take but keeps a copy of the original. The portable recorder also includes Auto Record and Auto Mark settings for hands-off operation. A reverb effect is also provided to give your recordings that mastered polish.

Features:

Haven't experimented much with them

Quality:

It's plastic but feels decnently built and the buttons have a postive tactile feel

Value:
Overall:

This is my 1st recorder so being able to make great live rehersal recordings right out of the box  is great.  It takes little bit to get used to all the info displayed on the little screen, but with some experimentation with setting the levels and placement I'm very happy with it. I've been using it on the 44.1 / 256k mp3 settings and you can get over 20hrs on the included SD Card. The battery life has been great, and uploading to the computer is a snap.

Tascam DR-07MKII Handheld Digital Recorder

| Review By: Wayne Moran | 1 month, 3 weeks ago

1 people out of 1 found this review helpful

Features:

Absolutely worth every penny. I have both the Tascam 8 track and this one. Both are exceptional.

 

The on-board mics are sufficent but I recommend that if you are going to use this as a recording device for lectures, dictaton etc that you consider purchasing a remote mic (lapel or headset) for even better sound quality.

First Use of my new DR-07MKII

| Review By: Robert Edwards | 1 month, 3 weeks ago

3 people out of 4 found this review helpful

Features:

This is my first reaction. to the TASCAM  DR-07MKII.   About any product I use regularly I most often find my understanding, therefor my appreciation, increased over time.  That said:

 

The device produces a faithful recording, free of unwanted noise.  It is ridiculously easy to handle and 'set up'.  It fills the need I envisioned, and offers the possibility of more advanced uses I had not anticipated.  I used it, more or less successfully, to record a live performance of an instrumental combo by setting it on a chair and hitting 'record'.

 

The difficulty I encountered came in 1) learning to understand how to properly adjust record-levels manually (the mid-point theory I intuited did not work as well as I would have liked) and

2) understanding the tightly written, complex-seeming instructions from the manual for almost any operation.

 

Specifically, the manual seems to assume the opportunity to do a 'test' level-adjustment.  It was a live performance - I had no such test opportunity and lacked earphones and had not learned how to monitor the recording (e.g., visually - those tightly written, complex instructions again).

 

It is, as stated, my belief that I will, eventually, manage to learn how to do what I wish - it is always a learning curve.  The machine seems designed to perform well for a person who can learn to use it.  The combination (salubrious) of compactness with great range and scope of functionality is, at once, its' principal outstanding feature and its' most frustrating impediment to first use.

I believe I covered this topic, as well, in my comments on 'features'.

Awesome Digital Recorder

| Review By: Floyd Raines | 1 month, 4 weeks ago

2 people out of 2 found this review helpful

Features:

All the features that I need in a handsome lightweight package. If I could make but one suggestion to TASCAM it would be to offer a case for this recorder.  I don't want it to get scratched up or damaged as I travel around with it.  I went ahead and made my own slip-case out of headliner material and vinyl but would have preferred to have a professionally made case for it.

Quality:

Superb recordings.  I can't believe how good this thing sounds.

Value:

Great value!  I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better deal.

Overall:

Read the manual, it's important in order to understand all the great features of this recorder.  I really like the design and ease of use.
