Providing you with Wi-Fi enabled transport control and file sharing, the DR-22WL Portable Handheld Recorder with Wi-Fi from Tascam features a built-in XY stereo microphone and is capable of recording in up to 24-bit/96kHz resolution. Thanks to its built-in Wi-Fi, which requires no external network, you can control all transport functions via a free iOS and Android app. Additionally, you can use the built-in Wi-Fi to stream playback to your mobile device, as well as transfer files directly to your smart device or computer, for quick upload to social media.
The recorder supports Dual-Format recording, which tracks simultaneously as WAV and MP3 files, so you have access to smaller file sizes for sharing while maintaining the higher-quality WAV as a master track. The DR-22WL records to microSD cards. Included is a 4GB microSD card, a USB cable, and 2 AA batteries.
Cardioid Condenser Mics in an XY Pattern
Cardioid condenser capsules are mounted in acoustically tuned housings. The true X-Y pattern captures the stereo field in phase alignment, for perfect imaging during playback
Designed To Handle High Sound Pressure Levels Up to 120dB SPL
The design of the DR-22WL allows it to record loud sound sources, including rehearsals and concerts, without distortion. Up to 120 dB SPL means that a volume level 20 times higher than the 105dB SPL maximum sound pressure of a movie theater can be captured without clipping. The high level capability also allows the DR-22WL to be used for sound effects gathering
Microphone Preamp and A/D Converter for Quiet Operation
A programmable gain amplifier (PGA) is used to adjust the level of the audio inputs. In many devices, the audio codec level is adjusted to control levels. In the DR-22WL, the mic gain circuit is independent from the A/D converter for low noise performance as well as programmable gain (manual, automatic, or controlled over Wi-Fi.)
A CIRRUS LOGIC CS42L52 is used in the DR-22WL, a premium-quality audio codec. The A/D - D/A chip features both audio performance and low power use for longer battery life. The built-in mics and the external inputs both pass through this low-noise audio input circuit
Scene Dial Optimizes the Recorder for Common Subjects
Similar to the mode dial on a camera, the scene dial makes it easy to preset the recorder to fit your subject. A full manual mode is also available for users who want to set the recorder up themselves
- EZ: Makes recording simple for beginners. This option sets the auto level and 40Hz low-cut filter functions
- Loud: This scene is tailored for loud events like rehearsals and concerts. It automatically sets the peak reduction, pre-record and 40Hz low-cut filter, and the trim level is set relatively low
- Music: This scene is optimized for live acoustic music, classical concerts and other unamplified performances. It uses the peak reduction, pre-record and 40Hz low-cut filter
- Instrument: The scene works well for individual instruments. It engages the limiter to keep levels under control
- Interview: Designed for interview recording, voiceovers, and lectures, this scene records in mono and uses the auto level and 120Hz low-cut filter functions
- Manual: This scene allows all settings to be made manually. Use this one if you have recording experience or want finer control over recording settings
- Overdub/Airdub: This scene enables the overdubbing function, allowing songwriters to assemble a song by recording over their previous take
- Play Function: The play function scene makes playback functions available like playback speed adjustment, useful for practice and transcription
Interface Features 128x128 LCD and 4 Function Keys
The 128×128 LCD, larger than previous Tascam recorders, shows meters, settings and other information. Icons at the bottom visually display how the four function keys can be used. This interface reduces the need to dig through menus to find commonly used recording functions
Dedication Input Level Control
The most crucial setting on any recorder is the input gain - finding the balance between too low (noise) and too high (clipping). The DR-22WL has a large input level knob right under your fingertips. You don't need to press and hold a button or search through a menu to change the input level
