Tascam DR-40X Portable Recorder & USB Interface

Introducing the Tascam DR-40X Portable Recorder & USB Interface, a versatile upgrade to the beloved DR-40. This device is designed for music recording, podcasting, and more, functioning as a 4-track audio recorder and interface.

Equipped with cardioid condenser microphones and dual Neutrik XLR/TRS combo jacks, the DR-40X captures high sound pressure levels and offers flexibility for external microphone or line-level sources. Its preamps feature 48V Phantom power, ensuring nuanced recordings.

The DR-40X provides various recording options, including AB or XY orientation for stereo imaging, and dual-level recording to prevent distortion. With three auto level modes and six reverb effects, it allows for precise control and enhanced audio quality.

Convenience features include a mark function, automatic level align, variable speed audition, repeat and loop functions, playlist support, and a built-in monitor loudspeaker. The clear backlit LC display and USB 2.0 port facilitate easy operation and file transfer.

Power options include three AA batteries, providing up to 15 hours of continuous operation without phantom power, or over 20 hours with internal batteries. The DR-40X includes rubber feet for improved acoustics during desktop recordings and a stand adapter for tripod or microphone stand attachment. Additional accessories like a footswitch and wired remote control are available.

Despite its compact size, the DR-40X supports SD/SDHC/SDXC cards up to 128 GB and offers various audio formats, including WAV/BWF (linear PCM) and MP3. It can also function as a USB audio interface with Mac and Windows computers.
