Tascam DP-006 6-Track Digital Pocketstudio

With the DP-006 you’re ready wherever creativity strikes. With two condenser microphones directly in the front, this compact battery-powered multitrack recorder is optimally designed for on-the-spot recording. Record vocals or acoustic guitar anytime without the need for extra equipment or set-up time. There is also a tripod mount for versatile set-up and placement. With the analogue feel of dedicated control knobs, built-in chromatic tuner and metronome and an ultra lightweight design, this Pocketstudio is one of the simplest to use songwriting scratchpad on the market.

The DP-006 has two inputs by phone jack to connect an external microphone, an electric-acoustic guitar or a line-level device like a synthesizer. With an optional conversion cable a tablet device like an iPad will be able to connect. Recordings are written to widely available SD/SDHC card media (2GB card included). All song ideas can be transferred via USB 2.0 or SD card readers to and from the unit at any point in the recording process. Basic editing functions are also available.

For elongated battery life, the DP-006 can connect directly to Tascam’s external battery pack (BP-6AA) via USB.
