Compact solid-state recorder

The DN 300R MKII from Denon is a professional audio recorder in a 19" format that is ideal not only for studio recordings but also for recording entire live performances. The results can be saved on a USB stick or on an SD card. The rear of the recorder is home to an input and an output in a balanced XLR format and an unbalanced RCA format, which among other functions allow signals from hi-fi devices to be recorded. A headphone output is also located on the front of the recorder for listening purposes.

Display of the Denon Professional DN-300R MKII Solid State Recorder

Intuitive user interface

The slot for SD cards and the USB port are located on the front of the Denon Professional DN-300R MKII. The latter of these can be used to operate hard drives with a voltage of 5V and a current of 0.5A. The selected settings and song details can be viewed on the display. Two LEDs show which storage medium has been connected and whether this has also been selected for recording purposes, while additional LEDs provide information about the input level. The transport section is located directly below, allowing the user to quickly identify whether a recording has been clipped, as the case may be. The input level is set using the input controller on the right-hand side, and this whole arrangement lends a welcome clarity to the Denon DN 300 MKII’s user interface.

For reliable recording and playback

The Denon DN 300R MKII is ideal for recording studio sessions, radio shows, conferences, and live performances. It can also function as a player and has the facility to play previously recorded files; to activate, the user must simply select the desired data carrier in the browser menu followed by the desired recording. Recordings can be played in a loop by enabling the repeat function. The Denon DN 300R MKII can be installed in a 19" rack or also positioned on any desired surface, which is achieved simply by removing the rack brackets and attaching the rubber feet included in the scope of delivery. These enable the device to grip firmly to the surface and prevent it from slipping.

About Denon

The Japanese-American company Denon was founded in 1910 and established itself as a leading brand in the 1930s. It has long stood for ground-breaking technological innovations that were frequently world firsts in their time. Denon's passion for invention has produced many remarkable technologies, including the first professionally usable recording device for gramophone records (1939), the first Japanese stereo records and stereo systems (1951), and the first PCM recorder, which was based on the same principle as today's CDs (1970). In 1982, Denon launched the first CD player for home use, the DCD-2000, another milestone among its already widespread innovations. Today the company belongs to D&M Holdings Inc. and is famous for its hi-fi and DJ products.

Simple and clear recording system

In mono mode, the device records the left channel only, whereas in stereo mode, both channels are incorporated. A mono or stereo file can be recorded simultaneously in dual mono or dual stereo mode via the USB port and the SD card slot, during which process one of the two recordings is produced at a reduced level of -10dB, with one recording thus serving as a backup. The time and date can be added to the finished recordings in the utility menu. If this information is not applied, the recordings will be numbered consecutively. To carry out a recording, the data carriers must be formatted to FAT16 or FAT32, after which files can be created in MP3 and WAV format. The setting options for recording are 44.1kHz or 48kHz and 16 bit or 24 bit, thus enabling the recording of a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz. The signal to be recorded can be looped through and transferred to another device - such as a PA system - courtesy of the inputs and outputs.

DENON SOLID STATE RECORDER

sammo-san 09.09.2020

bought to replace Tascam SS-r100 as i need Digital Master quality files.
operating system/menus/functions much like the Tascam, but more basic. still; it can record @ 24Bit/48K where the Tascam can't.
no file-naming or delete; file management needs to be done on computer (certainly not an issue for me, but renaming as you work helps if you have multiple Takes on your Card).
feels solid, simple to use & decent sound quality. i would say that, it might be better to use the XLR in/out options; the Phono RCA can be quiet on the way out; and depending on your source quite hot on the way in. still; no problems getting what i need from it, good piece of kit!

Only one problem found compatibility issues concerning Mp3 VBR encoded files, none with CBR files. Got a little carried away and forgot about this units playback limitations, Soundforge encodings work for me dbpoweramp a little less.

Long gone are the days when you could record into cassette tapes. But this is much better. This is simple to use, and you really don't need any higher audio quality than 24 bit/48 kHz WAV files. This is perfect to make backups of my vinyl records or to record radio programs!
