HS-20

The HS-20 is based on Tascam’s robust range of broadcast recorders, but built for the needs of contractors. The stereo recorder captures audio to SD or CF media and makes recordings available on a network for instant remote access. The unit’s network functionality is designed for automated recording and delivery without supervision. The HS-20 is equipped with solid transport buttons, a weighted jog/shuttle wheel, and a colour TFT touch screen display. The rear panel includes balanced and unbalanced analogue connectors as well as SPDIF and AES/EBU digital inputs and outputs. RS-232C and parallel control interfaces are also provided. The unit records audio material to broadcast wave format files with resolutions up to 192 kHz at 24 bit. Ideal for installations managed over a network, the HS-20 can automate and deliver your recordings to any server.
