Tentacle Sync TRACK E Pocket Audio Recorder Basic Box with Timecode Support (Recorder Unit Only)

Tentacle Sync TRACK E Pocket Audio Recorder Basic Box with Timecode Support is a compact body-worn recorder made for situations where clean mono audio and dependable timecode need to travel with the talent. It records directly to microSD media and supports BWF and WAV files at up to 48 kHz, with both 24-bit and 32-bit floating-point recording available.

The TRACK E uses a locking 3.5 mm TRS microphone input with 5 V plug-in power for compatible microphones and includes wired and wireless timecode operation. Bluetooth 5.0 connects the recorder to the Tentacle Setup App on Android and iOS for adjustment, remote control, and setup, while the built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 10 hours of operation.

• Locking 3.5 mm microphone input – keeps the mic connection secure during body-worn and mobile recording
• Bluetooth 5.0 control – works with the Tentacle Setup App for adjustment, remote control, and recorder setup

Why It Helps

The TRACK E keeps the recorder close to the microphone, which is useful when running a conventional cable back to a camera or mixer is not practical. The locking 3.5 mm input helps keep the microphone connection in place while the recorder rides on a belt clip or talent, and the microSD card handles the recording locally.

Timecode is built into the workflow rather than treated as an add-on. The recorder supports wired timecode input and output as well as wireless synchronization, including sync with compatible SYNC E units and multiple TRACK E recorders. That gives postproduction a clear timing reference when matching separately recorded audio back to camera material.

32-bit floating-point recording is another practical advantage on unpredictable location work. When recording levels change quickly, the wider recording range gives the sound team more room to work with later. Bluetooth control through the Tentacle Setup App also means settings can be checked or adjusted without constantly reaching for the recorder itself.
