Tascam DR-40X - recorder

The Tascam DR-40X is a 4-track recorder that's perfect for any project in music, podcasting, film or any other application requiring high audio quality. Based on the commercially successful Tascam DR-40, this recorder adds a number of new features. It incorporates a pair of cardioid condenser microphones for high sound pressure levels, configurable in AB or XY pairs, for wide stereo imaging or crystal-clear reproduction, with good phase coherence between the two channels. Possibility of using your own microphones or line-level sources, thanks to two Neutrik Combo inputs (mixed XLR/TRS jack), compatible with mic level and +4 dBu line level (e.g. front-of-house console) Microphone preamps can supply 48 volts phantom power, with sufficient gain to capture the faintest murmurs right up to the loudest sounds of live concerts The integrated stereo microphone pair allows you to capture the audience's ambience while recording the console's output signal directly, which is ideal for live performance. Like its predecessor, the DR-40X features Dual Level Recording, which avoids distortion during recording by creating a second file with a lower gain setting.

Transcribe your voice recordings

The new Dictation mode allows the user to skip forwards and backwards a certain amount of time during playback. It can be used in conjunction with the speed control, and a specific equalizer for dictaphone use is very practical for transcribing reports, for example. The new Overwrite mode, with an override level, allows the user to select an entry point and replace part of an existing recording.

In addition to mobile recording, the DR-40X can also be used as a USB audio interface, with two inputs and two outputs: a suitable tool for voiceover work, live streaming, podcasting and composing, with studio-quality sound.

High-performance

The Peak Reduction function can be used in repeat mode or during recording. Even if the sound is louder than during soundcheck, no problem. By combining this function with the automatic level control and limiter to prevent distortion, there's no need to worry about sudden changes in level.
