An easy-to-use Portable Recorder with all new Mics and breakthrough Wi-Fi technology
The groundbreaking DR-22WL from TASCAM is the first portable recorder to include Wi-Fi for transport control, file transfer, and audio streaming to your smartphone or PC. Other innovations like the new Scene Dial make it easier than ever to capture great-sounding recordings and share them online. A set of stereo condenser microphones is arranged in true XY pattern for ideal stereo imaging. The eight-position Scene Dial selects recording settings for typical situations, or can be set to full manual for greater control.
Included in the DR-22WL is a Wi-Fi function for controlling its transport and transferring files to a smartphone or computer. A free app for iOS and Android controls the transport and transfers files for instant upload. For a recording beginner or experienced user looking for a great-sounding, portable recorder with Wi-Fi, the DR-22WL is the only choice.
Router mode has been added for Wi-Fi connection
Selecting the newly added “VIA ROUTER” enables the wireless remote control operation by connecting your smartphone or tablet device to a Wi-Fi router installed in a studio or at home. Remote control is operable with email, map, or other apps and online services at the same time.
Selecting “TO DEVICE”, on the other hand, allows direct, one-to-one connection with the DR-22WL/DR-44WL, and so the remote control function works in the outdoor environment where Wi-Fi router is not available. By letting the users choose the connection mode depending on their purpose and situation, this product supports a wide range of applications.
Sharing the Recorded Audio Files in other Apps and Cloud Services
The recorded audio files can be shared on email, memo, Dropbox, or other OS standard apps. This allows users to transfer the recorded audio files to other users, or upload them for data management.
* Apps for file sharing depend on the device OS or the type of installed apps.
* In Version2.00 or later, SoundCloud direct uploading function has lost. Because SoundCloud has removed the function. Please use a computer when you want to upload the file onto SoundCloud.

Renaming or Deleting the Files
Files saved in the App or in the DR-22WL/DR-44WL can be renamed or deleted. Even if there are too many takes, file management is now made easier.
Renovated Graphic Design Allows Easy, Intuitive Operation
The recording level monitoring is always an important task during the recording; the latest update added colors to the level meters, improving the legibility. The windows for setting, input level adjustment, and browser have also been refreshed. It offers even easier-to-read design for more intuitive operation.
