Technics DAT-Portables are portable digital audio tape (DAT) recorders developed by Technics, a brand under the Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. These devices were designed to cater to professionals in the audio recording industry as well as enthusiasts who sought high-quality portable recording options. The DAT format itself was capable of providing digital recording and playback at a sampling rate of up to 48 kHz with a bit depth of 16 bits. This combination allowed for superior audio quality compared to standard analog alternatives. Models like the Technics SV-DA10 and SV-DP100 featured compact designs, enabling ease of transport, with some units incorporating built-in microphones and speaker systems. Various features included manual recording level adjustment, a range of equalization options, and a variety of input/output connections, such as digital optical and coaxial outputs, RCA analog outputs, and headphone jacks. Furthermore, many models supported a playback mode which allowed users to review recorded content without the need for an external playback device. Durability and usability in diverse environments were also critical factors in their design, making them suitable for field recording.
