Tascam DR-10SG DSLR Microphone Overview

The Tascam DR-10SG Recorder makes your audio as high quality as your videos deserve. The DR-10SG’s focused cardioid microphone captures the sound that your camera is facing, whilst ignoring any external background ambience. This is ideal for videographers who want to capture specific sounds with detail. The recorder’s shock resistant mounting foot absorbs any impact from the floor for a clean audio capture, which is ideal for shooting moving scenes. The DR-10SG’s shotgun shape with thick wind sock makes it a smart choice for any level of videographer.

High Performance Shotgun Microphone

The Super cardioid pattern used for the DR-10SG’s microphone provides a focused sound pickup. The super cardioid design allows the sound directly in front to be heard, as well as slightly to the sides too. This pattern is ideal for capturing the sound of what the camera is looking at, and can be used most effectively whilst recording wildlife, musicians, or any other direct sound source. The microphone’s thick foam cover blocks out wind, as well as absorbing some shock levels.

Build Mechanism

The DR-10SG has been fitted with an intuitive shock mount to absorb vibrations. The arm can be elevated from the camera to reduce any direct impact. The shoe mount attachment system means that your microphone stays out of your visual shots, but is still recording in an accurate direction at all times. The shoe mount fixes to your camera stably, and remains shudder-free throughout use.

Easy Recording Functions

The easy to use buttons and digital screen make recording on the DR-10SG a quick and easy process. Tascam’s dual recording function saves a copy of your audio at a low volume level. This is ideal for capturing a distortion-free recording in situations where volumes may suddenly change, such as in cities or at live performances. The DR-10SG’s EQ options offer frequency balances that suit typical natural, interview, and field settings, as well as a standard band to increase clarity. The on board leveller records a consistent volume, and the limiter prevents distortion if there’s an unexpected volume jump.

Post Recording Features

Tascam has equipped the DR-10SG with intuitive features to make your post recording process as smooth as possible. The slate tone function produces reference points that help to line up the audio and video’s synchronisation. The cable can also provide your video footage with the same slating feature. The microphone can also automatically save files when the battery is at a minimum meaning you can shoot confidently all the time.
