Tascam HD-P2 Hard disk Recorder

The Tascam HD-P2 recorder is a 2 Channel 24 bit 96khz Compact Flash Hard disk recorder. It has been on the market for about 2 years and I have owned one for about 1.5 years. I don’t use it very often because I do mostly Reality Tv work but it has preformed perfect for me on three film shoots and a few jobs where I was just recording the audio. The unit can be found at most sound retailers for about $1000.00 but you can find them on Ebay for $700.00 which is where I purchased mine. The unit is very powerful the microphone pre amps don’t sound that good but when using it with a line input from my Sound Devices 302 mixers it sounds great. The unit will also accept Tri Level sync timecode with is a plus. It also has SPIDF and RCA inputs and outputs. It is a great recorder for the price if anyone would like to hear some test recordings let me know.

  1. hi whitney..
    I agree with you, i also recently suggested HD-P2 for the production house i am working for on a feature.
    but i found a problem, in transferring the material on a mac-book, even after insatalling the driver i could not transfer from HD-P2 itself, so now i have to use and external card reader to transfer the files.
    any suggestions
