No-Clip Recordings with 32-bit Float Technology

Say goodbye to distorted or weak audio levels with the FR-AV2’s 32-bit float recording capability.

Key Features:

• 32-bit float recording at up to 192 kHz
• Dual A/D converters for enhanced dynamic range
• Advanced timecode synchronization for effortless integration with video equipment

Premium XLR/TRS Combo Inputs for Pro-Quality Sound

The FR-AV2 features dual XLR/TRS combo inputs powered by Tascam’s ultra-low-noise HDDA microphone preamps, offering pristine audio capture. With an input noise level of -127 dBu, you can ensure maximum clarity and virtually noise-free recordings.

In addition, the 3.5mm stereo input allows you to use wireless microphones, lavaliers, or other audio sources.

Built-in Timecode Generation and Synchronization

The FR-AV2 is equipped with built-in timecode support, allowing you to sync with industry-standard DSLR cameras and external timecode devices without needing additional gear. This streamlines your setup and simplifies post-production syncing. Jam-sync and wireless timecode synchronization are also supported using the optional AK-BT2 Bluetooth adapter, making it compatible with Atomos UltraSync Blue devices.

Wireless Audio Monitoring with Bluetooth

The optional AK-BT2 Bluetooth adapter enables wireless audio monitoring on the fly. Select from three quality levels to ensure optimal sound monitoring based on your environment. Wired and Bluetooth monitoring can also be used simultaneously, allowing two users to monitor the audio simultaneously.

Transform Your iPhone into a Professional Audio Interface

For mobile filmmakers, the FR-AV2 integrates seamlessly with an iPhone via USB-C, turning your phone into a professional-grade audio rig. With XLR inputs and timecode output, your iPhone video recordings can achieve cinema-quality audio with minimal gear.
