The HS-2 is Tascam’s first studio solution for professional stereo recording and playback based on solid-state media. The HS-2 includes all connections required by professionals including RS-232C serial control. Also true to Tascam tradition, audio is high-quality throughout with up to 96 kHz / 24-bit recording formats available.
Audio files are created on secure CompactFlash media in Broadcast WAV format, and since a pair of CF card slots is available, data mirroring or extended recording times are possible. A remote control available as an option allows flash start operation from a separate room over RJ-45 connection.
The HS-2 is the ideal solid-state recorder for professionals, with the instant access, ease-of-use and sound quality recording, broadcast and post production studios demand.
