TASCAM's HS-8 is the first solution for professional multi-channel recording and playback using solid-state media. From studio surround recording to post production playback of HS-P82 location recordings. The HS-8 fits a variety of multi-channel roles. the HS-8 uses a color touch-screen interface to access settings and tracks. A mixer is built-in for monitoring, and the stereo mix can be recorded live as a separate track. The RC-HS20PD is connected to the HS-8 with a CAT6 cable, enabling control of the HS-8 from up to 10m away (5m cable included with product). TASCAM's HS-8 is very versatile, with the instant access, ease-of-use, and sound quality studio and post professionals demand. Our HS-8 recorder is used as a backup for Pro Tools. they use it for reading and checking data brought in from outside and as a player for input into Pro Tools. They previously used our DA-98HR for the same purpose, so they have incorporated our HS-8 as its replacement.
