If you record one stereo file in 44.1-kHz / 16-bit CD quality, it can be as long as 192 hours. The DR-40X supports SDXC cards as recording media, which are available with very large data capacities. Like its predecessor, the DR-40X also offers dual-level recording, a feature that helps to avoid distortion by providing a second recording file created with a lower level setting. Using the stereo built-in microphones, you can capture ambient sound of the audience while recording directly from an external console, which is ideal for live performances. The microphone preamps include 48-volt phantom power and plenty of gain to capture everything from small whispers to loud live sounds.
Users can also use their own microphones or line-level source through dual Neutrik XLR/TRS combo jacks that support both mic level and +4 dBu line level from mixers or the FOH console. Building on the highly successful Tascam DR-40, this recorder adds several new functions to the already comprehensive feature set.Ī pair of cardioid condenser microphones handles high sound pressure levels and can be set up in AB or XY orientation for a wide stereo field or extra-clear reproduction with reduced phase displacement between both channels. The DR-40X is a versatile four-track audio recorder for music, podcasting, cinema and any other application requiring high-quality audio. Professional Features for Professional Audio Recordings
