TASCAM FR-AV2 Compact 32-bit Float Field Recorder & Timecode Generator

The TASCAM FR-AV2 is a compact, all-in-one field recorder and timecode generator built specifically for videographers, filmmakers, and content creators. Combining 32-bit float recording, Ultra HDDA mic preamps, and built-in timecode generation, it dramatically simplifies on-set audio while delivering professional, worry-free results.

Designed to mount directly to your camera, the FR-AV2 replaces multiple pieces of gear with a single rugged unit—so you can focus on the shoot, not your signal chain.

Bluetooth note: The FR-AV2 is only compatible with the AK-BT2 Bluetooth adapter (sold separately) for wireless monitoring and timecode sync.

No-Clip Recording with 32-bit Float

The FR-AV2 uses dual ADC technology with 32-bit float recording (up to 192 kHz), virtually eliminating the risk of clipped or unusable audio. Unlike 16-bit or 24-bit recording, levels can be adjusted freely in post without distortion—perfect for unpredictable dialog, live events, and run-and-gun shoots.

Premium Audio Inputs

• 2 × XLR/TRS combo inputs with Ultra HDDA mic preamps

  • EIN: -127 dBu

  • Mic / line level switching

• 3.5 mm stereo input for wireless receivers, lavaliers, and consumer sources

From shotgun mics and lavs to line feeds from a mixer, the FR-AV2 handles it all with exceptional clarity and ultra-low noise.

Ultimate Timecode Integration

The FR-AV2 features built-in timecode generation and sync, removing the need for external TC boxes:

• Timecode IN / OUT via 3.5 mm

• High-accuracy TCXO for stable sync

• Jam-sync support for external timecode devices

• Wireless timecode sync with Atomos UltraSync BLUE using the optional AK-BT2

This makes syncing audio and video fast, accurate, and painless—even across multi-camera setups.

Wireless Audio Monitoring (Optional)

With the optional AK-BT2 Bluetooth adapter, you can:

• Monitor audio wirelessly with Bluetooth headphones or speakers

• Choose monitoring modes based on latency or stability

• Use wired and wireless monitoring simultaneously, allowing two people to monitor at once

Ideal for solo shooters, directors, or sound recordists working close to camera.

USB-C Audio Interface & Mobile Ready

The FR-AV2 also functions as a 2-in / 2-out USB-C audio interface for Mac, Windows, and iOS devices, supporting 32-bit float audio. It integrates seamlessly into iPhone video rigs, delivering professional XLR audio and timecode sync straight into mobile workflows.
