TASCAM DR-10L PRO Overview

TASCAM DR-10L Pro Field Recorder and Lavalier Microphone
Newly expanded with extended battery life, increased storage capacity, optional Bluetooth functions, and more, the DR-10L Pro from TASCAM is a versatile and incredibly lightweight portable field recorder with lavalier microphone that boasts dual digital converters and 32-bit floating-point recording for massive dynamic range, so you can get right to recording audio without having to worry about fine-tuning audio levels or ruining takes. Capable of PCM or MP3 recording at sample rates up to 48 kHz, and a long battery life of 24.5 hours (with two AAA lithium batteries), the DR-10L can support superlong, all-day shoots for weddings, content creation, interviews, documentary filmmaking, or virtually any other audio for video application.

Physical design features such as the screw lock for the microphone-to-recorder connection and the innovative sliding-lock recording mechanism ensure minimal hassle and reliable performance during extended productions. Onboard automatic limiting, autolevel adjustment, and selectable high-pass filters (at 40, 80, 120, and 220 Hz) make it easier than ever to come out of a shoot with problem-free audio. With the optional AK-BT1 Bluetooth adapter (sold separately), you also gain access to app support via the DR-10L Pro CONNECT app to wirelessly control up to five recorders, visually confirm recording, edit metadata, and more, as well as connect to various compatible Atomos products for vital wireless time-code synchronization. The DR-10L Pro includes a belt clip, a USB-C cable (for data or as an alternative power source), a mic clip, and windscreen for the lav mic, and a free download of iZotope RX Elements, a comprehensive audio editing software suite.

An Incredibly Stealthy Recorder and Microphone
The DR-10L Pro is ultracompact 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.
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 lithium 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.
Remote Control with the DR-10L Pro CONNECT App
Adding Tascam’s AK-BT1 Bluetooth adapter (available separately) lets you control the recorder remotely via iOS or Android devices; in fact, you can control up to five DR-10L Pro units at once from the free CONTROL app. You can also use the app to name devices for easy identification, for example Bride, Groom, and so on.

  • Visual confirmation of input sound with waveform display
  • Easy management of multiple units with unique names and identification color settings
  • Metadata, including project name, scene name, and take number, can be recorded in the audio file (BEXT, iXML)
  • The preset data of the unit can be saved in the app and recalled with a few taps
  • Synchronize the unit's clock with the time on your smartphone or tablet
Note:
Audio monitoring via app is not supported.
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 multicamera video shoots, and saves valuable time in postproduction.
High-Visibility OLED Display
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.
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.
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 postproduction challenges, and RX Elements gives videographers the tools they need to deal with them.
TASCAM AK-BT1 Bluetooth Adapter for Portacapture X6/X8 and DR-10L Pro Recorder

Add wireless control and timecode support to your Portacapture X6 or X8 multitrack recorder or your DR-10L Pro miniature field recorder with the TASCAM AK-BT1, an ultracompact Bluetooth adapter that plugs directly into the USB-A port of your recorder and lets you control vital functions from a mobile device.

The free Portacapture Control app, offered on iOS and Android platforms, provides convenient access to the recorder's transport functions, gain, mix adjustments, and other parameters, even when the recorder is at a distance—with a maximum Bluetooth range of 32.8 feet, depending on conditions. This app-based integration makes producing videos, podcasts, songs, and location audio faster and easier.

With the AK-BT1 Bluetooth dongle, the X6, X8, or DR-10L Pro is ready to wirelessly sync timecode with supported Atomos products, including the Ultrasync Blue. Timecode allows videographers to perfectly align audio recordings with video, even when there is no audio on the camera. Timecode is crucial when videographers are dealing with multicamera video shoots, and saves valuable time in postproduction.

Yes, the Sennheiser MKE 2 Microphone with Locking 3.5mm Connector can work with the TASCAM DR-10L Pro Field Recorder. The Tascam would work with Lavaliers with a 3.5 mm TRS connection.

Does this operate like the zoom f4 regarding time code? have to have a wireless timecode source in proximity at all times?
Asked by: sandor
Just so everyone is clear, you CAN jam sync this device and have it run on it's own internal clock WITHOUT it being continuously connected to the Atomos. Once you initially connect it to the Atomos to get time code, you will see a solid "T" in the upper right-hand side of the window. Once you disconnect by either going out of range, or switching the pack back to "remote" mode, the little "T" starts to BLINK (the blinking will be in time with the Atomos LED). The unit can run on it's own for up to 24 hours with only the possibility of dropping ONE FRAME. If you turn the unit completely off, it will lose sync, but other than that, once you jam sync it, you shouldn't have to worry about it on a normal shoot.

Asked by: The Last
The TASCAM AK-BT1 Bluetooth Adapter fits into a slot on the top left side of the TASCAM DR-10L Pro Field Recorder and it is covered by a little door, which you can see in the third photo on the item page: bhpho.to/3O5pQCc. We have a video posted on the B&H YouTube channel that gives an overview of the features of the DR-10L Pro, and at the 2:15 mark, you can see how the Bluetooth adapter is inserted: bit.ly/3rlnOoe.

Will there be any way of seeing Audio levels without using the remote app. To insure sufficient or non overloaded levels?
Asked by: JayMo
In addition, in 32 bit float mode (default mode for this product), input levels are virtually irrelevant (within reason) due to the extremely wide dynamic range.

What is the post production workflow like on these mics? Do they have an app for quick syncing the audio like the Tentacle sync?
Asked by: Patrick
Audio editing workflow will differ for every engineer/editor, and will typically not be dependent on the microphone used. The Tascam DR-10L Pro does not include timecode synchronization computer software, but timecode can be managed and synchronized during recording with the Tascam DR-10L Pro CONNECT app.
