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 Com- pact 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 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. A 5-second pre-record buffer, front panel lockout and headphone output alert signal inspire confidence in recorded takes. For high-resolution music recording, a set of AES/EBU connectors is avail- able for attaching pedigree A/D converters and preamplifiers. SMPTE time- code 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 TASCAMs flagship production recorder, the HS-P82. RC-F82 Fader Controller for HS-P82

From studio surround recording to post production playback of HS-P82 location recordings, the HS-8 fits a variety of multitrack roles first pioneered by TASCAMs DA-88 recorders. True to TASCAM tradition, audio is top-quality throughout with up to 192kHz/24-bit recording. Like the HS-P82, the HS-8 uses a color touch-screen interface to access set- tings and tracks. A stereo mixer is built in for monitoring, and the mix can be recorded live as a separate track. Audio is recorded as Broadcast WAV files to Compact Flash media, with SMPTE timecode available on various interfaces. A pair of CF card slots is available for data mirroring or continu- ous recording. The HS-2 adds affordable stereo recording and playback to solid state media. Timecode on the HS-2 is added through an option card, the SY-2, making it an ideal broadcast replacement for timecode DAT recorders. The RC-HS20PD remote control allows operation of either recorder from a separate room over a RJ-45 connection. TASCAMs HS-8 and HS-2 provide the sound quality, instant access and ease-of-use that studio and post professionals demand.
