The TASCAM FR-AV4 is a feature-packed 32-bit Float mobile location recorder, mixer, and audio interface built for professional camera rigs.
The FR-AV4 has been ruggedly constructed for daily usage in the great outdoors with a compact aluminium casing and a dedicated screw-in mount that makes it easy to attach to your camera rig.

The recording capabilities allow up to 32-bit Float 192 kHz audio to be captured over six channels. This includes signals from the four XLR combo high-headroom Ultra HDDA preamp inputs, and a summed stereo mix, which are simultaneously recorded to SDXC cards. Meanwhile, you can route signals to the camera or for on-set monitoring with the built-in 4×2 mixer.
What’s more, the FR-AV4 provides timecode generation with HDMI-based sync, and you can trigger recording from your camera for seamless operation. There is also 4K/8K pass-through, and you can embed multichannel audio, which is ideal if you’re using monitor-recorders from Blackmagic Design or Atomos. In addition, you can double the channel input count by chaining two FR-AV4 units over HDMI.
For calibrating more complex camera rigs, there is a tone generator and an I/O audio delay (0-300ms), so you can ensure your recording and monitoring gain structure is optimized and tightly in sync. You also have access to per-channel EQ, low-cut filter, limiter, and noise gate to reduce the amount of avoidable post-production work.
Alternatively, the FR-AV4 functions as a 4×2 audio interface for desktop and mobile devices on macOS, Windows, iOS, or Android. Also, with the optional AK-BT2 attachment, you can enable remote control via mobile app and wireless audio monitoring, as well as Atomos Bluetooth sync and Ambisonics mode for spatial audio workflows.
