TASCAM's HS-2 offers stereo recording and playback to solid-state media. For studio and post production use, the HS-2 fits a variety of stereo recording roles first pioneered by
TASCAM's DAT recorders. Also true to TASCAM tradition, audio is top-quality throughout with up to 96kHz/24-bit recording.
Like the HS-P82 and HS-8, the HS-2 uses a color touch-screen interface to access settings and tracks. Audio is recorded as Broadcast WAV files to Compact Flash media, with SMPTE and RS-422
synchronization available through the optional SY-2 timecode card. A pair of CF card slots is available for data mirroring or continuous recording. The RC-HS20PD remote control allows operation
from a separate room over RJ-45 connection.
TASCAM's HS-2 is the natural successor to Timecode DAT recorders, with the instant access, ease-of-use and sound quality studio and post professionals demand.
Also available: the HS-8 8-track solid-state recorder with timecode.
