SS-R300N

High-Resolution Recording and Playback
Record and play WAV audio up to 96 kHz/24-bit using SD cards or USB flash drives.

Backup and Relay Recording
Record identical audio to two media simultaneously for backup, or automatically continue recording on a second medium when the first becomes full.

Secure Network File Management
Transfer files using SFTP server/client and FTPS client functions. Automatically upload recordings to a designated server without removing media.

Flexible External Control
Integrate with control systems through Ethernet, OSC, RS-232C and parallel interfaces.

Q-SYS Integration
Control transport, source selection, file management and other supported functions through the Q-SYS plugin and User Control Interface.

Professional Audio Connectivity
Connect balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA analog equipment, alongside AES/EBU and S/PDIF digital devices. Optional IF-DA2 expansion adds Dante network audio.

Recording Assistance and File Protection
Pre-recording, signal-triggered recording and direct recording help capture important audio. Automatic file closure helps reduce data loss during unexpected power interruptions.

Automatic Track Division and Marking
Divide recordings based on signal level, elapsed time, remaining capacity or digital input source changes. Automatically insert marks when overloads or errors occur.

Versatile Playback Control
Single, program, random and repeat modes combine with automatic cueing, incremental playback, call and mark functions for efficient navigation.

Flash Playback and Linked Backup
Trigger prepared audio with Flash Load and Flash Start. Link two recorders for backup playback, or use the optional RC-SS150 to access up to 96 Flash Play files.

Playback Adjustment and Mixing
Adjust playback speed and key, apply fades, combine stereo sources into mono and use ducking to balance input and playback audio.

Scheduled Operation and Time Synchronization
Automate recording, playback and file transfers with timer events. Synchronize the clock through SNTP or correct it using an external timer trigger.

Offline Content Preparation
Create playlists and timer event lists with TASCAM Playlist Editor. Convert MP3 and AAC files to WAV and adjust WAV sample rates and bit depths before deployment.

External CD Playback
Play audio CDs through a compatible third-party USB CD drive, alongside WAV, MP3 and AAC file playback from supported storage media.

Customizable Rackmount Operation
Assign frequently used functions to four front-panel USER buttons and parallel controls. Illuminated transport buttons aid operation in dark environments, while analog output muting during recording helps prevent unwanted amplification.
