Tascam FR-AV4 – Professional Portable 4-Channel Audio Recorder

32-bit Float Professional Audio, Timecode & HDMI Synchronization

The FR-AV4 is more than just a portable 4-channel recorder—it is a complete solution for videographers, content creators, and professional audio engineers.

Featuring dual A/D converters, Tascam’s Ultra HDDA low-noise microphone preamps, and 32-bit float resolution, it captures every detail—from the quietest whispers to the loudest explosions—with crystal-clear accuracy and zero risk of distortion. With a built-in timecode generator and HDMI synchronization, the FR-AV4 integrates seamlessly into any professional audio and video workflow.

Professional Audio Fidelity

Dual A/D converters and 32-bit float resolution deliver over 133 dB of dynamic range with extremely low distortion. The four XLR/TRS combo inputs feature Ultra HDDA low-noise preamps (EIN –127 dBu), ensuring exceptional clarity even in demanding recording environments.

Advanced Recording & Mixing Technology

The built-in mixer enables flexible routing, allowing you to record four individual channels plus a stereo mix (6 channels total) directly to an SDXC card.

Precision Synchronization

An integrated timecode generator ensures rock-solid sync across your entire setup without additional hardware. The FR-AV4 supports HDMI I/O, dedicated timecode input/output, camera output, and wireless Atomos synchronization via Bluetooth (optional AK-BT2 adapter required).

32-bit Float USB Audio Interface

The FR-AV4 also functions as a USB-C audio interface with 6 inputs / 2 outputs for Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android—delivering the same wide dynamic range and clipping-free recording.

With a simple HDMI connection, the FR-AV4 precisely synchronizes audio and video and supports automatic record start/stop based on camera operation.
