Introduction

The TASCAM AK-BT1 is a compact Bluetooth adapter designed to add wireless remote-control capability to compatible TASCAM recording products. Installed directly into the dedicated Bluetooth connector on a supported recorder, the adapter provides a convenient wireless connection to compatible smartphones, tablets, computers, and other supported devices without requiring a separate external receiver.

When paired with compatible TASCAM hardware and software, the AK-BT1 allows recorder functions to be accessed remotely—particularly useful when the recorder is positioned on a camera rig, near a performance, on talent, or somewhere that makes direct physical operation inconvenient. Compatible products include models such as the Portacapture X6, Portacapture X8, and DR-10L Pro, with available functions determined by the connected recorder and its software or firmware.
