With the black TASCAM DR-10L Micro Portable Audio Recorder with Lavalier Microphone, you can record full-resolution dialog and speech while skipping the trouble of long cable runs and avoiding the confusion of configuring a wireless microphone system. Whether you use the included omnidirectional lavalier mic or connect your preferred lav to the Sennheiser-compatible mic input, the entire setup can be discreetly affixed to your sound source. Just over 2 x 2 inches (and only 1-inch deep), the DR-10L is ideal for videography, interviews, weddings, vlogs, and lectures where the audio equipment needs to stay out of sight.
Run-and-gun filmmakers will appreciate its ultra-compact form factor and power-up-and-record workflow for time-sensitive shoots. There's no need to select inputs, arm tracks, or choose channel modes. Clip the DR-10L to a belt, or stash it in a pocket, start recording, and let it roll for the rest of the day. A single AAA battery will keep it running for up to 10 hours, so all-day gigs won't be a problem. Power the DR-10L via USB if you need indefinite operating time for sessions that continue on into the night. Worried about clipping? Don't be. The DR-10L's limiter and auto-level functions work to prevent overloading, while the dual-recording feature makes a safety track at a lower level, just in case.

Building on the success of the DR-10X and the DR-10SG, the DR-10L marries the industry-standard TASCAM portable mini-recorder with a high-performance lavalier microphone. Easy to use and easy to wear, the DR-10L can become your secret agent for better audio capture.
The included lavalier microphone features a mic clip for stable attachment to your sound source. Its omnidirectional polar pattern ensures that audio will be picked up from all directions, reducing inconsistencies caused by head movements and changes in mic position.
The locking 3.5mm mic input jack not only works with the included lav mic, but also provides a secure connection point for most Sennheiser lavalier mics and mics wired to the Sennheiser standard. A 2V mic bias can be activated via the DR-10L's menu system for mics that require plug-in power.
Connect headphones to the 3.5mm mini-jack output for simple monitoring of file playback or input while recording. The volume is adjustable via side-panel buttons.
Knowing that filmmakers and videographers often experience sudden audio volume jumps during filming, the DR-10L has several features to prevent distorted audio, and the most secure is dual recording. This feature captures a copy of your signal at a lower level (-6 dB or -12 dB), as a safety track in case of distortion.
You can always monitor the battery level on the easy-to-read OLED display. If the battery runs out in the middle of a recording, the unit will automatically save the file before turning off so your take isn't lost. The case is designed so that the batteries can be changed quickly without removing the recorder from its belt clip.
If the input sound level is too low or too high, an automatic gain control function can increase or decrease the recording volume to an appropriate level. Additionally, the limiter prevents distortion caused by sudden input overloads. These functions save you from worrying about input levels in situations when there is no second chance.
The DR-10L is compatible with microSD cards (up to 2GB capacity) and microSDHC cards (up to 32GB capacity). Record in WAV format for uncompressed audio quality, or use MP3 format for extended recording time on your media card. A 2GB card will yield over four hours of mono recording time at 24-bit / 48 kHz resolution.
A single alkaline AAA battery (available separately) will provide up to 10 hours of recording time at 24-bit / 28 kHz resolution. The DR-10L can be operated on disposable lithium or rechargeable NiMH batteries, or via USB bus power.
The DR-10L has been designed to be small, light, and easy to conceal. Perfect for on-camera talent, documentary subjects, or entire wedding parties, the DR-10L can easily be hidden away so that nothing comes between you and the perfect shot. Weighing just 2.2 ounces with a battery (available separately), your subject will forget it's even there.
The recording switch uses a sliding mechanism to prevent accidental use. In addition, the hold function can prevent recording from being stopped by unintentional contact with a button.
The DR-10L has a built-in clock and supports recording to BWF format, which has time information for improved searching, editing, and software compatibility. In addition to WAV and BWF format, recording and playback of MP3 files is supported.

Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Why won't a Sandisk Ultra micro SDXC work with this and an SDHC will? I have both cards and only the HC works. XC just causes it to freak out.
A: SDXC is a designation for Xtra Capacity which means larger than 32gigs. The specs for the Dr-10L only support memory cards 32gigs and smaller, which would be MicroSD and Micro SDHC.
Q: 2. Can I purchase this without the included lavalier for cheaper? I already have 3
A: Dan,Sorry but no.The lavalier mic is included and does not change the price of the unitThank you for your interest in TASCAM products.
Q: 3. Just unboxed two identical mics, one works perfectly the other is not receiving any input and recorded files are empty. Any ideas on troubleshooting to get second mic to record?
A: As long as you using the proper lavalier with the right locking pin (by Tascam) there should be no problems. However if you still getting no audio I recommend contacting Tascam for a replacement. Tascam Tel: 323-727-7617 Website http://www.tascam.com/
Q: 4. Is there an advantage between recording to this and say an iPhone 7 using the same mic? I have recording software on phone that allows me to export files as AIFF etc and set record quality according to mic options. (assuming you already have a phone and are not concerned about recording to an sd card)
A: Massive advantages. Locking thread. No inferences from iPhone (what if you forget to put it in airplane). Battery is replaceable (gotta charge phone, what if you forget?). Dual recording levels. Auto levels is actually usable. Hold switch. Everything is related to being able to actually safeguard your audio.
Q: 5. Apple headphones gets terrible monitoring distortion. Is this product only for monitoring with studio headphones?
A: It would be recommended to use a pair of sturdy, professional quality headphones for monitoring with the TASCAM DR-10L. Consumer earbuds, or headphones with a built-in microphone, may produce undesirable results.
Q: 6. Is there a way to delete individual files directly on the recorder?
