TASCAM AK-BT2 Reviews

Tascam scammed us

This is clearly an upsell and dirty practice by Tascam. Shame on you Tascam for this strategy. This product should just be included with the FR AV-2.

Abysmal range

By Kyle

My application is field recording where I need to monitor multiple recorders in relatively close proximity to one another. The range on this thing is inexcusably God-awful. I have to chain my PCM-M10 to monitor in the field - a device that's half the price of the AV2 with a bluetooth protocol nearly a decade older, and it gets 3-5x the range of the BT2, regardless of AV2 settings. Deeply upsetting for an item that should already be included with the device, let alone an upsell.

Will the AK-BT2 work with the Portacapture X8 to bring the new functionalities over the older AK-BT1?
Asked by: Bryson
The TASCAM AK-BT2 Bluetooth Adapter is currently only compatible with the FR-AV2 recorder. Therefore, it is not compatible with the DR-10L Pro, the Portacapture X6, and the TASCAM Portacapture X8 32-Bit Float 8-Channel Multitrack Field Recorder.
