Description
The Tascam FR-AV2 is a compact and feature-packed audio recorder for film makers that combines state-of-the-art 32-bit floating point technology with timecode generation and synchronisation. This not only ensures a significantly enhanced sound experience – it also simplifies the entire process from recording to editing. Synchronise the recorder with industry-standard video equipment without the need for an external timecode device. And use the optional AK-BT2 Bluetooth adapter for wireless monitoring.
