Custom designed, high-performance shotgun microphone

An all-new shotgun capsule was designed by Tascam for the DR-10SG. The super-cardioid pickup pattern captures sound in the direction it is pointing while rejecting ambient noise and reverberation. The design of this microphone is purpose-built to pick up your subject's voice from your camera, without noise from traffic, surf, echo, and other distractions.

Four EQ presets to match the subject and setting

The DR-10SG's built-in equalizer tailors the recording to sound best in your environment. It includes the following four presets:

• NATURAL: Flat response for a natural-sounding recording.
• STANDARD: Standard EQ for a video camera shotgun mic, adding clarity.
• INTERVIEW: EQ optimized for voice recordings in interviews, conversations and similar scenes.
• FIELD: Ideal EQ for recording sound effects and other background sounds.

High-quality audio, simple to use

The DR-10SG provides digital recording with the convenience of a camera accessory. Detailed electrical design includes rejection of power supply and camera noise in a compact design. Controlled listening tests during the design stage led to consisent improvements in the design, from the best shotgun capsule design to the need for high-performance capacitors in the power supply.
