CIRCUITS AND DEVICES

For aging audiophiles such as yours truly, the name "TASCAM" conjures up images of 50 lb, eight-channel magnetic tape recorders with 10.5 in reels spinning above a bank of VU meters. "Portable recorder" brings back memories of the little Panasonic cassette machines with a single built-in microphone and truly awful sound quality. However, times have changed, as evidenced by TASCAM's DR-22WL, said to be "the first portable recorder to include Wi-Fi for transport control, file transfer, and audio streaming to your smartphone or PC." It comes fitted with twin condenser microphones arranged in an XY pattern for true stereo imaging, and it includes the company's eight-position Scene Dial which optimizes the recorder for common recording scenarios, offering presets for recording instruments, voiceover, and other subjects.
