TASCAM DA-3000SD 2-Channel Master Recorder and AD/DA Converter.
Living up to the legacy of its predecessor, the DA-3000SD from Tascam is a 2-channel master recorder and AD/DA converter that offers up to 192 kHz PCM and 5.6 MHz DSD capture. With premium components and diverse I/O, the DA-3000SD offers reference-grade performance and versatile connectivity with virtually all studio equipment.
The DA-3000SD enhances DAW workflows with its noise-free, low-latency monitoring, and Word Clock generation abilities via it's super-accurate, jitter-free TCXO oscillator. You can record directly to SD or compact flash cards, with support for up to 512GB SDXC cards. With the Auto File Save function, the DA3000SD will save your recording automatically every 25 seconds, protecting you against a sudden power loss, and save files can be copies to or from an optional USB flash drive via the dedicated USB-A port. You can keep an eye on everything and easily navigate with the 1" OLED display and 24-dot LED level meter. The DA-3000SD includes a power cord, an RC-10 wireless remote controller, a CR2025 lithium button battery, and a rack-mounting screw kit.
Enhance DAW Studio Workflows
Following in its critically acclaimed predecessors footsteps, the DA-3000SD is a vital master recorder and professional-grade monitoring device in a single, portable, 1 RU rack mountable unit. Bouncing a recording in a DAW alone cannot capture the quality afforded by the DA-3000SD as a master recorder. When used as an AD/DA conversion unit in a DAW production environment, noise-free superior monitoring is second to none as the clarity and depth of audio is enhanced and allowed to shine.
Professional Recording Quality
For recording, the DA-3000SD supports audio capture up to 192 kHz for PCM formats as well as 2.8 and 5.6 MHz for DSD, the highest quality recording format commercially available. Based on project needs, users can select which recording method best matches the music’s characteristics and save the settings.
Multiple units can be synchronized via S/PDIF cascade for sample-accurate recording and playback, allowing for the creation of a DSD multitrack recording environment. Recording directly to SD card media makes transportation and storage of sessions simple and easy-to-handle.
Refined Power Circuitry and Clocking
An EI core transformer with separate windings for the digital and analog circuits is used in the power supply section, while the output audio circuit has a dual monaural configuration with two high-quality mono circuits to achieve an exceptional sonic profile. Additionally, all stages of the audio circuits have a balanced configuration to reduce noise on both input and output paths. Equipped with a TCXO (temperature-compensated crystal oscillator), the DA-3000SD's clock generator boasts an accuracy of ±1ppm for digital audio processing with no jitter.
Sonically Superior Circuit Design
The output circuitry uses a dual-monaural configuration that eliminates interference between the left and right channels, maximizing the performance of the DA-3000SD to achieve unrivaled sound quality. The D/A conversion is handled by the renowned BurrBrown PCM1795 converters, one for each channel.
Other components include low-impedance capacitors and low-noise, high-precision resistors. Lacking a fan, the DA-3000SD achieves its high functionality in a comfortable monitoring environment without the distraction of unwanted noise.
Rich Array of Connections
The unit is equipped with a diverse selection of input and output terminals for connection to a variety of studio equipment such as audio interfaces, microphone preamplifiers, dynamic processors, and more.
-
Balanced XLR 3-pin inputs and outputs (one stereo pair in, one stereo pair out)
-
Unbalanced RCA coaxial I/O
-
AES/EBU digital I/O over XLR 3-pin
-
Stereo S/PDIF-3 BNC inputs and outputs (for multitrack DSD connections)
-
S/PDIF over 3.5mm with optional cascade function for recording two mono files
-
Word sync BNC input and thru/output connections, with selectable thru or out configurations
-
1/4" TRS headphone output on front panel for clean, latency-free monitoring
-
SD card slot for recording
-
USB-A ports for remote control and playback/copying functions
An A/D Converter and Recorder for Mastering
By sending stereo master from a DAW and recording them with the DA-3000SD, you can capture the master sound source at a higher resolution than possible with a DAW bounce alone. To insert vintage or other outboard equipment during the mastering process, place the DA-3000SD in the signal chain after the external hardware to capture the audio coloration in all its full, high-definition beauty.
A DSD Multitrack Recorder
Both recording and playback synchronization is possible by cascading multiple units, enabling a DSD multitrack environment. By connecting eight DA-3000SD's, users can record up to 16 tracks at a time.
