32-Bit Float Recording 48 kHz Sample Rate LTC I/O Timecode Bluetooth 5.2 Wireless Control 64 GB microSDHC Support Tentacle Sync TRACK E Pocket Audio Recorder is a compact 32-bit fl oat audio recorder built for audio-for-video workflows that need reliable timecode without a full-size field recorder. The Basic Box configuration provides the recorder unit for operators who want to choose their own compatible locking 3.5 mm lavalier microphone. Wired LTC input and output, wireless synchronization, Bluetooth app control, and 48 kHz mono recording make it practical for interviews, documentaries, multicamera shoots, and content production. Small recorder. Serious synchronization. Why Video Creators Choose TRACK E 32 32-Bit Float Recording for Unpredictable Levels 32-bit float recording gives production crews substantially more level latitude when dialogue changes unexpectedly. Quiet material can be raised in post while loud moments are easier to recover than with conventional fixed-level recording. TRACK E also provides a 24-bit recording mode when smaller files are preferred. TC Timecode Recorder for Audio-for-Video Production LTC timecode support gives editors a common timing reference between separately recorded audio and video. TRACK E can receive timecode through its microphone connection and output LTC through its headphone connection for compatible synchronization workflows. Multiple Tentacle devices can also be synchronized wirelessly for multicamera and multi-recorder productions. 48K 48 kHz Mono WAV and BWF Recording Professional audio-for-video recording runs at a fixed 48 kHz sampling rate with WAV and BWF file support. A single mono recording track keeps the workflow straightforward for lavalier microphones, interviews, dialogue capture, and plant-mic applications. Files can be transferred to a computer through the USB-C connection. MIC Locking 3.5 mm Lavalier Microphone Input The locking 3.5 mm microphone input provides a secure connection for compatible lavalier microphones during talent recording. Five-volt plug-in power supports suitable electret microphones without requiring a separate microphone power supply. The Basic Box is the recorder-only configuration, so the lavalier microphone can be selected separately for the production. BT Bluetooth App Control and Wireless Timecode Sync Bluetooth Low Energy connects TRACK E with the Tentacle Setup App on compatible iOS and Android devices. Operators can configure recorders, synchronize timecode, start or stop units, and monitor device status without reaching the talent. Apple Watch control is also supported for convenient multi-device operation. USB USB-C Charging and Fast File Management USB-C handles charging, card-reader access, firmware updates, and supported MIDI timecode operation. Connecting TRACK E directly to a computer provides a straightforward way to move recorded files without removing the memory card. The internal rechargeable battery supports extended location and production work between charges. Key Features LTC Wired LTC Timecode Input and Output TRACK E can jam-sync from incoming LTC and can also act as a timecode source for compatible external equipment. Timecode input is handled through the microphone connection while output is available through the headphone connection. Timecode output is disabled while the unit is actively recording audio. SYNC Wireless Multi-Recorder Synchronization Multiple TRACK E recorders can be synchronized through the Tentacle ecosystem for dialogue and multitrack production. Once synchronized, each recorder maintains its timing reference independently rather than requiring a continuous Bluetooth connection. This makes distributed recording practical across talent, cameras, and remote positions on set. APP Tentacle Setup App Remote Recorder Control The Tentacle Setup App centralizes synchronization, configuration, record control, and status monitoring. A crew can manage multiple Tentacle devices from one supported mobile device instead of adjusting every recorder individually. Wireless audio monitoring is also available, although monitoring latency and stability depend on the connected smartphone. HP Headphone Playback Monitoring in the Field A dedicated 3.5 mm headphone connection supports playback monitoring after recording. This allows an operator to check captured dialogue before leaving a location or moving to another setup. The connector also performs timecode-output duties when TRACK E is being used as an LTC source. DSP Low-Cut Filter and Input Limiter Built-in signal processing includes a low-cut filter for reducing unwanted low-frequency energy. A limiter is available in 24-bit recording mode to help control unexpected peaks. These tools are useful for spoken-word recording, documentary interviews, journalism, and other field-production situations. 58G Compact 58 g Bodypack Audio Recorder At approximately 47 x 68 x 19 mm and 58 g, TRACK E is small enough for talent-worn recording and discreet plant-mic placement. The compact body reduces the amount of hardware carried on a presenter or hidden around a set. A belt-clip mounting system supports practical wearable installation. Who It's For Documentary Crews Record isolated dialogue directly on talent while keeping sound synchronized with independently operated cameras. Videographers Add dependable audio-for-video recording to interviews, corporate productions, events, and multicamera shoots. Journalists Use a lightweight recorder for mobile interviews where a full field-recorder package would slow down the assignment. Content Creators Capture high-headroom dialogue without relying on a camera-mounted recorder or continuously monitored wireless link. Location Sound Teams Deploy TRACK E as a compact talent recorder, backup track, or plant recorder in demanding location-sound workflows. Multicamera Productions Keep independent audio recorders and compatible camera systems aligned through a shared timecode workflow.
