Ask The Tapers / Re: Looking for an SD card for the TASCAM DR-2d
« Last post by Gutbucket on May 28, 2026, 05:28:03 PM »I've not found DR2d to be picky about SDHC cards. I mostly used Sandisk Ultra 16 or 32GB for the past 15 years, but used Transend early on, and have used many others in a pinch without problems.
The Quick Format option is fine if you already know the card is good and that it works fine in the DR2d. The Full Format option takes a lot longer but also checks the card for errors, making it a good option for use with a new card prior to recording with it for the first time.

Where are you? They could be mailed once I am there if you can't locate any. Retail stores won't carry the inventory so need to get them online.
Wow, that's a great offer from you, very kind.
I've already found a few offers online where I'll order them myself.
Nevertheless, thank you again for your help!
excellent. easier for me but always willing to help other tapers.

This is the problem that I'm highlighting - it's being promoted as a wireless mic system, but it also seems to be the only 32 bit float stereo recording device of this size with built in mics. The Instamic, I believe, doesn't do stereo in 32 bit float although its size is similar (and it costs double).
If you're speaking of the zoom recorder, it does do 32 bit recording but it doesn't have wireless recording. It has bluetooth functionality to control the device and it's yet another device with built in batteries.

Instamic is an ultra-compact recorder that captures flawless 32‑bit float audio anywhere, even in the harshest conditions.

« Last post by Ozpeter on May 28, 2026, 08:35:56 AM »Another video review:
https://youtu.be/8H-OHAzS5xY
The device looks neat, but it's just another audio recorder with built in batteries on 2.4 GHz. I've lost count of companies that make these kinds of recorders. Seems like it was Rode who first started it, but I could be way off....
This is the problem that I'm highlighting - it's being promoted as a wireless mic system, but it also seems to be the only 32 bit float stereo recording device of this size with built in mics. The Instamic, I believe, doesn't do stereo in 32 bit float although its size is similar (and it costs double). And no other wireless mic does, simply because they don't have multiple capsules. But the reviewers, apart from one, are just passing over this. Like the review you mentioned. And I've watched a couple of dozen. Well, mine is on order now and I will then discover, and report, whether it is amazing or dreadful. Or somewhere in between.
[Edited to add that as the 'lid' of the device is a customisable e-ink display, it might be possible to put the logo of some pill company onto it, so when it is checked at venues, it looks more like a little pill box than a recorder. Well, at a quick glance...]
