mount (sold separately)

the recorder to the MIC IN of your camera (also sold sepa-
rately, use an attenuator cable if available)

series recordings, use software like Adobe Premiere Pro
CS5.5, Apple Final Cut Pro X or Singular Software

Advantages of Audio Recorders
• You can assign someone to just record audio, so they can get
closer to the talent with a microphone for a better recording.
• TASCAM recorders are purpose-built for audio, so setting audio
levels and adjusting settings is often as easy as a single button
press or switch
• You can set the audio recording level to be manual or automatic
• TASCAM handheld recorders have a limiter during recording, so
that sudden loud sounds won't be distorted.
• The separate line out and headphone out on the DR-100 allows
you to listen in headphones while you send a copy of the signal
to your camera to sync up later.
• A selectable low cut filter allows you to cut bass rumble or wind
noise while recording
• Dual batteries on the DR-100 allow you to swap batteries for
extended battery life – even while recording
