TASCAM DR-2d 33
In addition to using the built-in microphone, you can record
using an external microphone or record the output signal
from a mixer or other audio source. You can select among
MP3 (44.1/48 kHz, 32–320 kbps) and WAV (44.1/48/96 kHz,
16/24-bit) audio recording formats. With this unit, you can mix
and record a sound input through the built-in mic or one of
the input jacks with an audio le that is played back using the
overdubbing function.

the same time (dual recording).
