Higher sound quality attained by implementing a microphone amplifier that adopts high sound quality analog circuits and discrete parts

The DR-100MKII achieves detailed sounds through its meticulously designed high sound quality analog circuit.
By equipping a microphone amplifier with discrete parts has further improved on the S/N ratio.
As a whole, an S/N ratio of 92dB and a HD+N of 0.01% (max) was achieved.
In addition to the unidirectional high sound quality stereo condenser microphone, the omnidirectional stereo microphone useful for such purposes as recording meetings has improved sound qualities compared with conventional models.

High end model with advanced hardware, Professional 24bit/96kHz compatible linear PCM recorder

The rugged TASCAM DR-100mkII offers high-end recording features for musicians and engineers who demand more from their portable recorder. It features four built-in microphones - two cardioid and two omnidirectional - for great sounding recordings. A pair of XLR connectors accept microphone level signals with +48V phantom power for pro-grade condenser microphones, or balanced line-level signals (a new feature on the mkII). The mkII version also adds a S/PDIF digital input, locking connectors and more.

• Total of 4 microphones including 2 unidirectional condenser microphones and 2 omnidirectional microphones
