Tentacle Track E

Are you a musician having a live jam on the street, a professional sound mixer or a documentary filmmaker who can’t afford to miss the perfect shot? Or perhaps you’re an upcoming podcaster, a dedicated YouTuber or a traveling journalist: Whatever your project, record it professionally and easily with the TRACK E audio recorder.

Easy integration into your workflow

The Tentacle Setup App – which remotely controls everything except the weather – helps you enjoy seamless integration into your current workflow. Setup and control all your TRACK E and SYNC E devices via Bluetooth® on your mobile device. One screen. All the information you need.

Everything you need to get started

Unbox your TRACK E and you can be ready to go in just three minutes. Here’s what you get: One pocked-sized TRACK E audio recorder, a multi-purpose lavalier microphone and a 16GB microSD card. The lockable mic input is compatible with any lavalier mic, that you might already call your own. Monitor and playback your recordings via headphone out, charge your unit and transmit your data through the USB-C port really fast. It even comes with a funky black belt clip to free up your hands while recording.

32-bit floating-point technology

Say goodbye to leveling and digital clipping. The TRACK E with its significantly enhanced dynamic range is a versatile, set-&-forget device that always delivers high quality audio. Users can treat audio like photographers use the RAW camera photo format. You don’t need to worry about the gain of the recorded audio. All details can simply be adjusted in post-production, significantly reducing pre-shoot preparation time. Recorded too low? Simply raise the volume without raising the noise floor.

Software

The well-known and loved Tentacle Sync Studio software (for Mac) ensures seamless synchronization at all times. It also comes packed with tools to help you with the 32-bit and audio processing. In combination with your SYNC E and TRACK E, you now have a seamless and professional audio and video workflow. It’s time to get creative.
