Tascam DR-60DMKII 4-Track Audio Field Recorder & Mixer for Audio/Video

The Tascam DR-60DMKII is a compact, high-performance 4-track field recorder and mixer built especially for DSLR and mirrorless video shooters. Mountable directly under your camera or cage rig, it delivers pro-level audio capture with full control over inputs, outputs, and signal processing — without adding bulky gear to your setup, With high-gain HDDA preamps, dual XLR/TRS combo inputs, additional mini-jack inputs, and support for 16- or 24-bit/44.1–96 kHz WAV/BWF recording, the DR-60DMKII bridges the gap between cinema and run-and-gun setups. It offers dual recording modes (safety track), optional mid-side decoding, tone slate, delay, low-cut filtering, internal mixing, and flexible power options (AA battery, USB bus, or optional AC/adaptor). Whether you’re capturing interviews, narrative scenes, or documentary sound, the DR-60DMKII gives you audio you can trust — separate from the camera’s limitations.
