THE TASCAM HS-8 8-TRACK AUDIO RECORDER/PLAYER

The HS-8 is Tascam’s first studio solution for professional multi-track recording and playback based on solid-state media. From studio surround recording to post production and broadcast playback of HS-P82 location recordings, this eight-track recorder fits a variety of multi-track roles. The HS-8 includes SMPTE timecode and all connections required by professionals including RS-422 serial control. Also true to Tascam tradition, audio is top-quality throughout with up to 192 kHz / 24-bit recording formats available.

A mixer is built into the HS-8 for monitoring, and the stereo mix can be recorded live as a separate stereo track. The unit has a colour touch-screen interface to access settings and tracks with ease. Audio files are created on secure CompactFlash media in Broadcast WAV format, and since a pair of CF card slots is available, data mirroring or extended recording times are possible (with future update). A remote control available as an option (RC-HS20PD) allows flash start operation from a separate room over RJ-45 connection.

The HS-8 is the ideal solid-state recorder for professionals, with the instant access, ease-of-use and sound quality recording, broadcast and post production studios demand.
