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.
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.
- 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)

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.
