Review Summary

Great tool. Set it and forget it for the most part. For the novice to time code, it would be a good idea to practice and learn the workflow of timecode. This tool is a must if shooting multiple cameras shoots completely solo. Looking to get another one and do away with Bluetooth 2.4GHz solutions I have altogether. Cool product!

The tentacle track e makes recording audio a breeze. With the float audio mode you?re able to get great quality without no distortion.

Worth its weight in gold! Never have to worry about gain settings again. I swapped out the included mic for a rode lav mic but absolutely loving this so far !

if you're a solo operator on a lot of shoots, buy this even if you dont do timecode. incredibly easy to monitor, incredible sound right out of the box, and 32 bit float has already saved two shoots for me with unexpected sound interruptions. some of the best money ive ever spent in terms of gear. if you do timecode why are you even reading this, this is a no brainer

Great little standalone unit in every way. Small footprint, good Verstl audio, and allows a single shooter to get great audio without having to worry about it. Highly recommend!

Nice compact little recorder. The 32 bit float means you don't have to worry about the levels too much and you can just record. The app is convenient, but not required for simple audio recording

Wow! I love this little recorder. Supplies 5V of plug-in power so higher end lav mics work well with it. It?s small and delivers really clean audio. Plus, you can now monitor your audio remotely (via phone) with the latest firmware update. Tentacle?s app works great. I bought two and intend to buy a third one. I highly recommend it.

Great recorder... love how i sound. There is only one con that bothers me...it feels cheap in hand. 350$ recorder and i am worried that if i dop it, it will fall apart. Lav also sounds great but i have simmilar feeling towards it too.

It picks up everything as an omnidirectional mic does. The mic sounds great for basically being free since just the lav mics can run over $500 normally. Syncing with time code in post couldn?t possibly be easier. It?s really intuitive and easy to use in the field. A real fire and forget recorder. I got two of them and can?t wait to use them more.

Bought this mainly for the float-32 bit audio. First time working with this format. I was super impressed about being able to speak super loudly and then bring back those levels in post. I love that I can just turn it on and hit record and not have to worry about anything else. Also the sound quality so far is fantastic. Adding some EQ and dynamics in post makes this thing sound very equivalent to my Rode VideoMic Pro+ which I have loved on voices. And on top of all of this you have timecode integration! This isn't something I have incorporated into my workflow much in the past, but will certainly consider it now that I have this. Definitely recommended if you're looking for simple setup, limitless possibilities, and timecode integration.

Great product, slightly larger than the timecode boxes, very easy to use and well designed. Audio quality so far has been great.

Tentacle Sync TRACK E
By Kenny V.
I absolutely love these mics, solid units and I can trust them to get me that good crisp audio we all want!
TRACK E pocket-sized timecode audio recorder is a perfect match for lavalier microphones. It seamlessly integrates with your workflow and is configured, controlled and synchronized via Bluetooth using the popular Tentacle Setup App. Featuring 32-bit float technology, TRACK E provides high quality audio all day long.
The TRACK E Timecode Audio Recorder can easily fit in your pocket for recording on the go. This allows mobile operation for example as a recorder for a clip-on microphone eliminating the need for a radio-link. This means that the TRACK E will work in environments where regular wireless transmitter fail.
Controllable through the Setup App for iOS or Android, it seamless integrates into the Tentacle Sync eco system. The app lets you synchronize timecode and operate as many Tentacle devices as you need via Bluetooth. You can monitor audio wirelessly and will be notified immediately by the app if something doesn't go as planned. For even more convenience, you can sync, start and stop your TRACK E devices from your Apple Watch.
TRACK E features 32-bit floating point technology for a significantly extended dynamic range. 32-bit floating point also means that no digital clipping will occur, making the TRACK E a versatile set-&-forget-device that will always deliver high quality audio. With the TRACK E users can treat audio in a similar way as photographers use the RAW camera photo format - all details can be adjusted in post production, significantly reducing the preparation time before you start shooting. In addition, regular 24-bit recording is supported as well.
The TRACK E uses its included 16 GB microSD card for recording. An input limiter and a high-pass filter guarantee for pristine recording quality. A 3.5 mm locking connector offers a secure connection for your microphone. In addition to wireless sync, TRACK E features standard SMPTE timecode input/output so you can also connect to other timecode devices. A free license of Tentacle Sync Studio (Mac) is included with every TRACK E purchase.
Professional Sound Recording. For Everyone
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. One App. Countless Possibilities

Everything You Need To Get Started. Straight Out Of The Box

The lockable mic input is compatible with any lavalier mic, that you might already call your own.

It even comes with a funky black belt clip to free up your hands while recording.
32-Bit Floating-Point Technology. Hit Record and Start Creating
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.
100% Lavalier Microphone Compatibility. Just Clip and Go
The TRACK E comes packed with its very own broadcast-ready lavalier microphone. Yet, if you still prefer to use your own mics, you can - we also offer a range of suitable adapters to give you the flexibility you're looking for. The microphone plugin power is 5 volts, so even more microphones are compatible.
Independent Multi Track Recording. The Only Limit Is Your Creativity
One TRACK E = one track. Now you can record as many audio tracks as you like. Simply sync all of your TRACK Es to create your own multitrack recordings from the individual mono tracks. Then just drop the synced audio into your editing system or prepare for further post-production with Tentacle Sync Studio - we include a free license with every TRACK E purchase.
World-Renowned Software. Simple Synchronization. Perfect Processing
Our 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.
