The DR-60D MKII is a compact 4-track audio recorder specifically designed for use with a DSLR camera as a video system. It can be mounted directly onto the digital single-lens reflex camera and offers various audio input and output options, allowing for the parallel recording of high-resolution audio material separately from the camera and video data.

The recorder features Tascam HDDA microphone preamps that ensure a high signal-to-noise ratio, low self-noise, and minimal distortion. Recordings can be made at 44.1/48/96 kHz and 16/24 bit in WAV or BWF format. In addition to stereo recording, it is possible to simultaneously record up to four audio tracks, which can be mixed into a stereo signal. Individual level settings for tracks 1, 2, and 3-4 are provided, as well as the ability to create two recording files with different levels at the same time.

High-resolution audio material can be routed to a DSLR/DSLM camera to be recorded there as a reference track, and a camera input allows for convenient monitoring of the camera's audio signal. MS decoding, slate signal function, selectable time alignment, and additional features for comfortable recording are also included.
