The Stealthiest Recorder and Mic That You'll Never See
The DR-10L Pro is ultra-compact and lightweight, the perfect solution when stealth is a priority. Fitting in the palm of your hand and weighing in at just 65 grams, this recorder is easy to hide at film shoots, weddings, stage performances, and other projects where invisibility is crucial. The included belt clip attaches easily and securely to clothing, allowing you to capture great audio without compromising your talent.
Dual ADCs and 32-bit Float Recording for Fast Setup and Worry-free Recording
The DR-10L Pro’s default 32-bit float recording mode employs dual ADCs to capture sounds across a huge dynamic range without distorting or introducing excessive noise — that means videographers can avoid having to scrap audio due to poor levels. With 32-bit float recording, there’s no need to adjust input gain levels, allowing you to set up faster and with total confidence that you’ll capture great audio in any setting.
The included TM-10L microphone captures clear, detailed audio while handling loud sound pressure levels without distorting, making it the perfect lav mic for the DR-10L Pro’s 32-bit float recording mode.
AAA Batteries Power Long Shooting Sessions
Whether you're capturing audio from people at a wedding reception, a busy trade convention, or a lengthy ceremony, the DR-10L Pro is ready to keep recording as long as you are. Just two AAA batteries can power the DR-10L Pro personal recorder for up to 24.5 hours*, minimizing concerns over battery changes during the shoot.
In addition, files are saved approximately every 20 seconds during recording, so data loss due to unexpected power supply interruptions are kept to a minimum.
*Lithium batteries
Remotely Control up to 5 Units with the TASCAM RECORDER CONNECT App
With the optional AK-BT1 Bluetooth dongle, DR-10L Pro recorders can be controlled from iOS, iPadOS and Android devices wirelessly with the free TASCAM RECORDER CONNECT app. In addition to controlling up to five DR-10L Pro units remotely, the TASCAM RECORDER CONNECT app allows videographers to check device status and view the recorded waveforms real time. You can also use the app to name devices for easy identification, for example “Bride”, “Groom”, and so on.
Additional Features
Other features of TASCAM RECORDER CONNECT app:
- Visual confirmation of input sound with waveform display
- Easy management of multiple units with unique names and identification color settings
- Metadata (project name, scene name, take number) can be recorded in the recording file (BEXT, iXML)
- The preset data of the unit can be saved in the app. Your favorite settings can be recalled with a few taps
- Synchronize the unit's clock with the time on your smartphone or tablet
Supports Wireless Time Code with Atomos Products
With the optional AK-BT1 Bluetooth dongle, the DR-10L Pro is ready to wirelessly sync time code with supported Atomos products. Time code allows videographers to perfectly align audio recordings with video, even when there is no audio on the camera. Time code is crucial when videographers are dealing with multi-camera video shoots, and saves valuable time in post production.

High-visibility OLED Display Allows You to Check Device Status Fast
Whether you're in a dark environment or outdoors in the sun, the DR-10L Pro's high-visibility OLED display allows you to confirm settings at a glance. You can check your battery level, recording status, and input levels right from the display, with all advanced functions only a couple button presses away.
Automatic File Save System
The TASCAM proprietary Auto File Save System avoids losing your important data during recording. Files are saved approximately every 20 seconds during recording, so data loss due to unexpected power supply interruptions are kept to a minimum.
Easy to Monitor Input and Recordings
The DR-10L Pro personal recorder is equipped with a headphone output for monitoring convenience. You'll be able to monitor the input before or during recording, and also check the quality of your recordings immediately without having to first transfer them to a computer.
High precision clock to prevent drifts between audio and video
A high precision TCXO is employed for the internal clock generator and boasts a specification of 0.5ppm, like other TASCAM professional studio equipment. This ensures that the clock drift is kept within one frame per 24 hours. It also eliminates any audio drift between separately recorded files.
iZotope RX Elements Audio Repair Bundle Included
The DR-10L Pro is bundled with a free version of RX Elements, iZotope's groundbreaking audio repair and noise reduction tool. RX Elements brings videographers powerful audio restoration capabilities you have to hear to believe, from seamlessly removing coughs and background noises to reducing wind roar and ambient noise. Live video shoots for weddings, on-location interviews, and documentaries can present countless post-production challenges, and RX Elements gives videographers the tools they need to deal with them.
