TASCAMFR-AV2 – Compact 32-bit Float Field Recorder and Timecode Generator with Mixer

I have had a problem with the AV2 and my Panasonic cameras.Using the audio Timecode input to the camera from the 3.5mm TC out of the AV2 ( set on "mic" option ) overloads the Panasonic pre-amps, even set to their lowest gain of -12 dB.it is 50mV p-p ( 17.6 mV rms ) and this is too high for the preamps in Panasonic mirrorless cameras.I don't know if this is just a faulty unit or a firmware issue, but if you want Timecode audio input to a camera you should check if you have this issue also.I have returned this unit and the Bluetooth adapter for this reason.Update :I have been in contact with Tascam about this issue and they suggest using an attenuation cable as they cannot reduce the TC output with a firmware update. I consider this unsatisfactory as this is an additional cost and shouldn't be necessary.

Huge huge issues. I've been on Tascam forums. The unit is distorting and making very hot audio on 32 bit settings. A sudden door closing, a dog barking - anything at all is blowing up the audio. All settings are correct. Equipment and mics tested on other gear. Avoid!

High quality, very functional, basic functionality is very user friendly. Item is great value for money. True sound clarity is recieved on post production. I'm using direct interface with A DAW station instead of SD card. Pair with a sennheiser 600 for quality audio and sound. Will need to tweak setting to suit your ideal output.
