Tascam DR-40X Four-Track Audio Recorder/USB Audio Interface

Product Description

The Tascam DR-40X Audio Interface is designed for professional live capture, featuring dual Neutrik XLR/TRS combo jacks that support both mic-level and +4dBu line-level inputs. The microphone preamp includes +48V phantom power and ample gain, making it suitable for detailed recordings with condenser microphones, as well as electret-type microphones.

Versatile Four-track Recording: The DR-40X offers a range of recording options, including normal stereo channel recording, dual recording mode, and 4CH Mode, which can record two different stereo feeds simultaneously. This flexibility allows users to capture a variety of sources, such as the built-in microphones along with a pair of external mics (e.g., close-up and ambient microphones) or the built-in mics alongside a balanced line input from a mixer.

Wide Covering Range: The DR-40X's stereo built-in condenser microphones enable high-quality recording, capturing every detail from soft whispers to loud sounds up to 125dB SPL. The adjustable unidirectional microphones can be set in an X-Y pattern for tight stereo imaging or an A-B pattern for a more ambient recording.

Overwrite Mode: The Overwrite mode on the DR-40X is a useful feature for punching in recording from a desired point, allowing users to re-record a specific part of a recording, such as a guitar phrase or narration, without affecting the rest of the file.

Nondestructive Overdubbing: The overdubbing function on the DR-40X enables users to record additional parts, like a guitar solo, over a previously recorded file without altering the original. This makes it easy to re-record and experiment with different takes.

Line Level Input For Live Capture: The Tascam DR-40X Audio Interface's dual Neutrik XLR/TRS combo jacks support both mic-level and +4dBu line-level inputs, allowing users to connect balanced microphones or line-level sources from mixers or FOH consoles. The microphone preamp's +48V phantom power and generous gain ensure detailed recordings with condenser microphones.

In summary, the Tascam DR-40X Audio Interface is a versatile and feature-rich device that caters to a wide range of recording needs, from professional live capture to flexible four-track recording and nondestructive overdubbing, all while providing a wide covering range and the ability to punch in recordings as needed.
