Tascam DR-40X

Go-anywhere 4-track Recording Solution

The TASCAM DR-40X recorder offers pro-level four-track recording capabilities in a compact handheld format. It’s a smart choice for DSLR filmmakers, musicians, sound designers, podcasters, and other creatives that need a simple and high-quality solution for capturing audio. A pair of condenser microphones can be oriented for either A/B or XY stereo recording, with two more XLR/TRS combo inputs for additional mics or sound sources. The DR-40X will even serve as a USB audio interface to record directly to your computer. However you use it, expect great sound quality and flexible connectivity from the TASCAM DR-40X handheld recorder.

Auto Recording for hands-free recording
Want your DR-40X to begin recording when it receives an audio signal, without having to get your hands on it? Simply engage Auto Recording mode. You’ll be able to set a threshold at which point it will begin recording — once its microphones or audio inputs sense an audio signal above that threshold, recording will begin.

Built-in mics plus inputs for your mics and instruments
Musicians at Sweetwater love using handheld recorders like the DR-40X as a quick and easy
way to record song ideas, band rehearsals, and more. Simply use the built-in condenser microphones to capture a studio-quality stereo recording. Its XLR mic inputs with phantom power allow you to use your own mics too, or in conjunction with the built-in mics for four-track recording. You can even plug your guitar or bass in direct, too.

2-in/2-out USB audio interface for Mac and PC
For recording into your DAW software, podcasting, and other computer-centric tasks, the TASCAM DR-40X handheld recorder serves double duty as a two-input/two-output USB audio interface.
