The DR-680 brings multi-track portable recording within reach of any musician for live recordings on site, Surround ... It can record up to 8 tracks on SD card media at 96kHz Broadcast WAV quality / 24 bits. His six mic inputs provide up to 60 dB of gain, and have phantom power for a quality recording from condenser microphones. The 8 tracks of the DR-680 welcome these six analog input signals plus those of a digital S / PDIF stereo.

To listen to the recorded signals, the DR-680 includes a mixer, providing a level fader and pan for each input. The stereo output mix can be recorded simultaneously with the six separate analog signals that compose it, for quick stereo playback of recorded sounds. The DR-680 integrates a speaker for checking recordings without headphones.

The DR-680 can also record in stereo to a very high resolution of 192 kHz / 24-bit for audiophile-quality Masters, or record up to four channels in MP3 format (with firmware v1.10 or later), occupying less space on the card, ideal for recording meetings for example. And you can connect two DR-680 with a Cascade Cable to record up to 16 tracks with battery power. An AC adapter is included.
