With the DR-100MKIII, Tascam offers a pocket-sized handheld recorder for professional use. Four built-in condenser microphones - 2 directional for stereo recordings and 2 undirectional microphones e.g. for Atmos - are available for recording. The dual recording function allows two recordings to be made simultaneously at different levels or in different formats. The recordings are stored either uncompressed in the PCM (WAV/BWF) up to 192 kHz at 16 or 24 bit - or compressed in MP3 with a selectable bit rate of 128/192/256/320. SD cards with max. 128GB are used as storage medium;
External miniature microphones or line signals can be connected to 2 lockable XLR/jack combination inputs with switchable phantom power. Useful functions such as limiter or level reduction of the microphone input can be activated via switches on the top side. A blue illuminated, clear display with multilingual menu guidance (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese) provides information about the current status at any time. Smart recording aids such as advanced recording (allows recording to start 2 seconds before pressing the record button) or a level-controlled recording start (recording starts when the input signal exceeds a certain threshold level) can make work much easier. Also during playback, the user has various practical modes at his disposal - e.g. loop playback of a certain section, playback of a selected directory or playlist, variable playback speed (pitch control, -50 % to +16 %) or a switchable VSA function (the playback speed changes without influencing the pitch. Two separate battery power sources ensure uninterrupted, mobile use. Data exchange with the computer takes place via USB 2.
Excerpt: This portable recorder with two combo inputs and four integrated microphones has now arrived in its fourth generation - the operating options have been optimized to meet customer requirements and the display has been improved. Sound and production quality as well as functionality (e.g. in the form of parallel backup recording with lower gain) are convincing. Professionals and ambitious people in field recording have access.

Tascam DR-100 MKIIIThis one is very well built(even the mics got their own protection).
Many recording features and good signal-to-noise convertion.
Nice big level knob and switches for every major function like limiter or phantom power.
Its sound quality, ability to record secondary file with -10 db volume than the primary and its body material are the aspects that got me.
Great for field recordings.
This is the second time I bought this recorder. The first time I bought it in another store, and I was attempting to compare it to a Sony PCM D-100 and a Zoom F6 (which I have, both), and I ended up returning it because at first the fantastic 32 bit float recording of the Zoom, the great quality of the onboard mics, the portability and the ease of use of the Sony seemed to me more appealing. But after a time with either two of the other recorders I missed the ONE thing the Tascam do better: versatility. It is perfect to pair with a video camera, and has dedicated features, and the most underrated is the slate signal that you can put at the beginning and the end of the recording to be able to sync in post to video without loosing a single second. It's a breeze. The quality of the on board mics, at least the UNI mics, is on par, or maybe inferior by a pinch, to those on the Sony (that costs nearly two times as much). It doesn't have 32bit float recording, but it has dual record that can be enabled even at 92khz. It has every in and out you can imagine: one 3,5mm stereo in for lavaliers (that F6 doesn't have), two XLR for dynamic and condenser (that the D-100 doesn't have), line out, headphones out, digital in, and the XLR ins can be also instrument or line input 6,3mm jack (that neither the D-100 nor the F6 have)... so all in all this is a perfect all in one solution for the price, and the little differences in quality can be resolved with proper recordings and a bit of noise reduction (not that for the other two the noise reduction isn't necessary). In the end this is a swiss army knife for video and field recordings, paired with proper mics it doesn't haven nothing less than the other two and it's a perfect solution for traveling light with less compromises.
