Tascam SS-R300N Recorder

Network-Enabled Master/Stereo Recorder for Professional Installations

The Tascam SS-R300N is a 2-channel SD/USB recorder and player built for permanent installation in commercial, broadcast, and conference audio systems. As the successor to the SS-R250N, it strengthens network operability with secure file transfer, OSC control, and integration with Q-SYS and Dante environments. The unit records and plays back audio up to 96 kHz/24-bit on SDXC cards and USB drives up to 512 GB.

What Sets the SS-R300N Apart

What makes this model stand out is its combination of secure network file transfer and broad AV-system integration. FTPS client and SFTP server/client functions move recordings to and from a server without removing media, while auto-upload pushes recorded files to a designated server automatically. OSC support enables direct communication with DAWs, lighting, and video systems, and a Q-SYS Designer plugin provides transport control and FTP uploads. An optional IF-DA2 card adds two-channel Dante networked audio I/O.

Recording, Storage, and Connectivity Specifications

Two SD slots and one USB port enable backup and relay recording across three media simultaneously. Audio performance reaches a signal-to-noise ratio of 106 dB with distortion at 0.002% or less, while the headphone output delivers 45 mW + 45 mW into 32 Ω loads.

Who Should Choose the SS-R300N

The SS-R300N is the right choice for AV system integrators, broadcast engineers, and venue operators who need a reliable, network-aware recorder for permanent installation. It fits commercial facilities, halls, theatres, conference rooms, and broadcast environments where unattended scheduled recording and remote file management are part of the daily workflow. Backup and relay recording across dual SD slots and USB, plus timer-event automation, support long-form capture without operator intervention. Q-SYS, OSC, and Dante (via IF-DA2) compatibility suits installations already running on those networked AV platforms.
