Sample Recordings
The following sample recordings were made of the same four selections (labeled 1 thru 4) of a high school jazz band on two different nights. In both cases the microphones were about 25 feet from the front of the musicians. The recordings labeled "DR1 mics" were made with the built-in mics on the DR-1. The other 4 recordings are labeled with the microphones that were used. See the recommended accessories list to the right for more information on them.

Read this recorder review
The TASCAM DR-1 puts digital recording power into your pocket. Its built-in stereo microphones include a unique variable angle mechanism, so you can set it to record from any angle. The DR-1 is the first portable recorder to include a 1GB card, so you'll have plenty of CD or MP3-quality recording time for long rehearsals and concerts.
A pair of microphones is mounted on a variable angle mechanism, which allows the recorder to record from almost any angle. The built-in stereo condenser microphones are arranged for a wide stereo image, and an external mic can also be used. The unit includes a generous 1GB SD card for hours of recording at MP3 or WAV file formats. The DR-1 also includes auto gain control and analog limiting for easy setup and a low-frequency cutoff to eliminate handling or wind noise.
