Tascam DR-40X Four Track Handheld Recorder and USB Interface

Product Information

When in stand‑alone mode, the DR-40X can record four tracks simultaneously and supports up to 24-bit/96kHz audio. The combination of the sources are flexible; recording the built-in microphones along with a pair of external Mics such as close-up and ambient microphones, or recording the built-in Mics along with a balanced line input such as the feed from a mixer along with the sound in the room.

The Wi-Fi connectivity, with a range of up to 20m also gives the ability to geocode the audio file from the smartphone's GPS data.Guitar Guitar Limited trading as guitarguitar acts as a credit broker not a lender and is Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, firm registration number 742103.

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.

DR-40X transport controls are on the front face of the unit including the buttons which operate many of the menu-based graphic controls.
