Tentacle Sync TRACK E Pocket Audio Recorder Basic Box with Timecode Support (Recorder Unit Only)

Overview

The Tentacle Sync TRACK E Pocket Audio Recorder Basic Box with Timecode Support (Recorder Unit Only) is a compact wearable audio recorder designed for creators who need simple, high-quality mono recording with professional timecode functionality in an ultra-portable format. Built for YouTube production, vlogging, journalism, interviews, documentary work, and music capture, this basic-box version includes the recorder unit and essential accessories while allowing users to pair it with their preferred lavalier microphone.

Despite its minimal package, the TRACK E delivers the same powerful core workflow as the full kit, including 32-bit float and 24-bit mono recording at 48 kHz, Bluetooth app control, and wired or wireless timecode synchronization. Its locking 3.5 mm microphone input supports a wide range of compatible lavaliers, while the internal rechargeable battery and pocket-sized design make it easy to deploy on talent, in the field, or as part of a larger multi-recorder setup.

Core Features

• The TRACK E is a pocket-sized mono audio recorder with timecode support, designed for hands-free dialogue and spoken-word recording in fast-moving production environments.
• It records in 32-bit float or 24-bit at 48 kHz, giving users the option of maximum headroom for unpredictable sound levels or smaller files for longer recording sessions.
• A locking 3.5 mm TRS microphone input supports compatible lavalier microphones, allowing users to build a flexible wearable recording system around their preferred mic choice.
• Bluetooth connectivity enables remote setup, control, monitoring, and wireless timecode synchronization through the Tentacle Setup app for iOS and Android devices.
• Its built-in timecode generator supports jam-sync workflows, wireless syncing between multiple TRACK E units, and synchronization with compatible Tentacle Sync products.
• The internal rechargeable battery provides up to 10 hours of runtime, making the recorder well suited to extended location shoots, interviews, and event coverage.

Recorder-Only Flexibility

This basic-box version is ideal for users who already own a compatible lavalier microphone or want the freedom to choose one that best suits their workflow. Instead of bundling a microphone, it focuses on the recorder itself, making it a practical option for expanding an existing Tentacle setup, replacing a unit, or building a more customized recording kit.

Fast Setup for Solo and Mobile Production

The TRACK E is designed to be approachable and fast to configure. With the Tentacle Setup app, users can adjust settings, synchronize devices, and manage recording functions directly from a mobile device. This makes it especially appealing for solo operators, documentary shooters, and creators who need dependable recording without the complexity of larger field audio systems.

32-Bit Float Recording for Real-World Conditions

In changing recording conditions, 32-bit float capture offers valuable protection against clipped audio while preserving quieter details for postproduction adjustment. Whether recording interviews, dialogue, or live content with unpredictable level swings, the TRACK E gives creators more margin for error and more flexibility once the files reach the edit.

Timecode Integration for Postproduction Efficiency

For video creators, the TRACK E goes beyond simple standalone recording by supporting both wired and wireless timecode workflows. It can be jam-synced from an external source, used to wirelessly sync multiple TRACK E units together, or function as a master timecode source for compatible devices. This helps streamline syncing in post and makes the recorder a strong fit for multi-camera or multi-recorder productions.

Portable Monitoring and Everyday Convenience

The recorder supports playback monitoring through its 3.5 mm headphone connection, while Bluetooth audio monitoring is also available through the app for added convenience when remote access is needed. USB-C charging supports fast turnaround between shoots, and the included belt clip makes it easy to secure the recorder during on-person use.
