Description

The TASCAM FR-AV2 is a compact and comprehensive audio recording solution for videographers, combining enhanced 32-bit float point recording with built-in timecode generation to greatly improve efficiency. Ultimate Timecode allows you to integrate industry-standard videography gear, with no need for an external timecode device. And you can wirelessly monitor your audio signals with the optional AK-BT2 Bluetooth adapter.
No-Clip Recordings
The FR-AV2’s enhanced 32-bit float recording up to 192kHz means you’ll never have to scrap a recording due to distorted or weak audio levels. When recording at lower bit depths like 24-bit and 16-bit, loud sound sources can cause digital clipping that cannot be fixed during editing. By using dual analog-to-digital converter technology, recordings are captured with greater dynamic range and clarity you can increase the level of dialog without creating a distracting change in tone or dynamics.
Premium XLR/TRS Combo Inputs
Connect microphones and professional line-level sources directly to the FR-AV2 dual Ultra HDDA preamps. Capture audio with maximum clarity and ultra-quiet with an EIN of -127dBu. In addition, the 3.5mm stereo input supports the use of wireless microphones, lavalier mics, and any other audio sources you might have in your arsenal.
Ultimate Timecode Generation
You’ll be able to streamline your videography rig and take less gear to shoots with the FR-AV2. FR-AV2 generates and reads timecode via 3.5 mm IN/OUT for DSLR cameras and also supports Jam-Sync for any external timecode devices. Using the optional AK-BT2 Bluetooth adapter, you can also wirelessly sync timecode with supported Atomos UltraSync BLUE devices.
Wireless Audio Monitoring
Adding the optional AK-BT2 Bluetooth adapter allows you to wirelessly monitor audio signals on the fly. Depending on your recording environment, choose one of three modes to confirm you are receiving the best signal possible including connectivity, monitoring quality and latency settings. Dual wired and wireless monitoring work in parallel, which means 2 users can monitor the audio simultaneously.
iPhone Filmmaker, Meet Your Professional Audio Interface
Whether you’re always on-the-go or find yourself creating impromptu content, the FR-AV2 can easily fit into your iPhone video rig with a USB-C cable. This allows high quality audio from professional XLR inputs and the ability to send and sync timecode. Via TC OUT/IN, with your phone, the FR-AV2 transforms your mobile videos into pro-grade productions.
Simple and Comprehensive Field Recorder
You won’t find a more comprehensive audio recorder for videography – the FR-AV2 allows you to focus more on your video shoot and less on your audio gear. With the FR-AV2 mounted to your camera you have dual audio inputs, 32-bit float recording, onboard timecode generation and sync, and wireless audio monitoring capability – all in a single rugged housing.
