High-Headroom Recording
With the Tascam FR-AV4 Field Recorder, each XLR/TRS input uses an Ultra HDDA preamp and dual converters to achieve clean gain with minimal noise. The 32-bit float format means you never have to worry about clipping, as levels can be corrected later without distortion. Whether recording interviews or high-impact effects, the FR-AV4 preserves full detail and dynamics across a 133dB range.
Precise Camera Sync
HDMI and timecode integration keep audio perfectly locked to video, eliminating post-sync guesswork. Record Trigger starts and stops recording automatically with supported cameras, so no takes are missed. For multicam work, two FR-AV4 units can cascade over HDMI for eight synced inputs — ideal for large productions.
Flexible Audio Control
A clear touchscreen and jog wheel provide fast access to channels, levels, and routing, even during mobile shoots. Built-in EQ, limiter, and low-cut filter let you refine sound before recording, reducing the need for post-processing. The adjustable input/output delay aligns signals when combining feeds from different devices.
Connected for Any Setup
With its 6-in/2-out USB-C interface, the FR-AV4 doubles as a computer or mobile audio interface for editing or streaming. Add the optional AK-BT2 adapter to control and monitor wirelessly through the Tascam Recorder Connect app. A 3.5mm CAMERA/EXT input with plug-in power supports lav mics, while HDMI and line outputs feed external recorders or monitors.
Reliability in the Field
The FR-AV4’s durable aluminium chassis withstands on-location use, while locking HDMI and USB ports prevent accidental disconnection. Additionally, Auto File Save protects recordings by updating every 20 seconds, ensuring data isn’t lost if power is interrupted. Swappable BH-4AA battery trays enable quick changes to keep rolling between takes, so you never have to miss a moment.

FAQs:
Why is a 32-bit float important on the Tascam FR-AV4?
A 32-bit float records a much wider dynamic range than 24-bit files, allowing you to capture unpredictable levels without distortion. Quiet sounds stay clean, and loud transients won’t clip, which is vital in uncontrolled environments like live sets or outdoor shoots.
How does HDMI timecode improve workflow with the Tascam FR-AV4?
HDMI timecode keeps audio frame-accurate with video, removing the need for manual alignment later. When connected to a compatible camera, HDMI Record Trigger starts and stops both devices together, ensuring every take is perfectly in sync.
How does the Tascam FR-AV4 handle extended shoots?
The Tascam FR-AV4 is powered via four AA batteries, USB-C, or an optional AC adapter. The BH-4AA battery trays are hot-swappable, meaning you can change batteries mid-production without interrupting recording.
Is the Tascam FR-AV4 suitable for VR or spatial audio?
Absolutely. Ambisonics mode records A- or B-format audio for VR, AR, or 360° projects, capturing spatial cues for accurate sound placement during post-production.
Can the FR-AV4 be used as an interface?
Yes. When connected via USB-C, the Tascam FR-AV4 functions as a 6-in/2-out audio interface for Mac, Windows, iOS, or Android, letting you record, stream, or mix directly to a computer or mobile device.

Buy now pay later
The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
