Capture Every Detail with Studio-Quality Sound
The Tascam DR-40X is a powerful and versatile 4-track portable audio recorder, perfect for musicians, podcasters, filmmakers, and professionals seeking exceptional audio quality. Building on the success of the Tascam DR-40, the DR-40X introduces new features to elevate your audio recording experience, making it ideal for capturing everything from live performances to ambient soundscapes.
Key Features
Advanced Microphone Configuration for Pristine Audio
Equipped with a pair of high-quality cardioid condenser microphones, the DR-40X handles high sound pressure levels effortlessly. Set the microphones in either AB or XY orientation to achieve a wide stereo image or crystal-clear sound with minimal phase displacement. Whether you need to capture the energy of a live concert or the subtle nuances of a podcast, this recorder ensures exceptional results.
Professional Connectivity for Any Setup
The DR-40X’s dual Neutrik XLR/TRS combo jacks allow seamless integration with external microphones and line-level sources, such as mixers or FOH consoles. The unit supports both mic level and +4 dBu line level, providing flexibility in any recording environment. The built-in microphone preamps, complete with 48V phantom power, offer ample gain, ensuring you can capture everything from a soft whisper to the loudest performance with clarity.
Dual-Level Recording for Safety
Avoid audio distortion with the DR-40X’s dual-level recording feature. It automatically creates a second track at a lower level, offering a backup recording in case the main audio track clips. This feature is a must-have for capturing dynamic environments such as live music or dialogue-heavy scenes.
Effortless Operation & Versatility
One-Handed Control for Quick Adjustments
The DR-40X is designed for easy, one-thumb operation, allowing you to manage key functions such as recording, level adjustment, and marking takes with just a button press. It offers language support for English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and more, making it accessible to a global audience.
Intelligent Recording Modes
Prevent unwanted distortion with three automatic level modes: Limiter, Peak Reduction, and Auto Level. You can also apply reverb effects to your recordings or use the Overdub feature to layer additional tracks over existing audio. The Level Align function smooths out sudden volume jumps during playback, and the built-in speaker allows for quick monitoring.
Ideal for Transcription and Editing
Dictation Mode for Easy Transcription
The DR-40X’s Dictation Mode is designed to streamline transcription by allowing you to skip back and forth in preset increments. Combined with speed control and dedicated EQ settings, this feature is perfect for tasks like transcribing meeting minutes or interviews. Additionally, the overwrite mode with undo functionality allows you to replace parts of your recordings seamlessly.
Transform Your Space into a Studio
