Tascam DR-60D MKII is a compact 4-track audio recorder designed exclusively for use with a single-lens digital SLR (DSLR) or single-lens mirrorless digital camera (DSLM) as a video system. It can be mounted directly on the camera and offers several audio inputs and outputs to allow the recording of high-resolution audio material in parallel, but separate from the camera and its video data.

The recorder features Tascam's original HDDA microphone preamplifiers, known for their high signal-to-noise ratio, low input-referred noise, and low distortion. Recordings can be made at 44.1/48/96 kHz, 16/24 bits in WAV or BWF format. In addition to ordinary stereo recording, it is possible to record up to four channels simultaneously that can be mixed to obtain a stereo signal. The recording levels can be adjusted independently for inputs 1, 2, and 3-4, and the dual recording function allows recording two files in parallel at different levels.

DR-60D MKII can output high-quality audio to a DSLR/DSLM camera to be recorded there as a reference track, and a camera input allows for convenient audio monitoring sent from a DSLR camera. Medium decoding, slate tone functions (automatic/manual), selectable time delay, and other functions are also available for convenient recording.
