Professional Features for Professional Audio Recordings
The DR-40X is a versatile four-track audio recorder for music, podcasting,
cinema and any other application requiring high-quality audio. Building on the
highly successful Tascam DR-40, this recorder adds several new functions to the
already comprehensive feature set.
A 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. 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. The microphone preamps include 48-volt phantom power and plenty of
gain to capture everything from small whispers to loud live sounds. 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. 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.
Simple to Operate
The layout of the DR-40X has been revamped to be quick and easy to work with
one thumb. Operations like recording, adjusting levels, deleting bad takes and
adding marks are just a button press away. Menus are available in English,
Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Russian, Chinese, Korean,
Japanese. Three different auto level modes (Limiter, Peak Reduction, Auto Level)
can help to prevent accidental distortion while recording. You may apply one out
of six reverb effects to the input or output signal, and an Overdub feature
allows voices or instruments to be added to existing audio files. There is also
a Level Align function that allows to smooth out any sudden volume jumps during
playback, and a built-in speaker is provided for quick check-back. Other
features like variable speed audition, low-cut filtering, chromatic tuner and
more can be chosen from the menu.
Transcript Your Voice Recordings
The new Dictation Mode enables you to jump back and forth in preselected
increments while playing back a file. It can be combined with speed control and
a special dictation EQ making it useful for transcribing minutes recordings, for
example. The new tape-style Overwrite mode with one level of undo lets you
select a drop-in time and replace part of an existing recording.
Turn Your Room Into a Studio " In a Minute
Apart from handheld recording, the DR-40X can also be used as a USB audio
interface with two inputs and outputs, making it a strong yet easy gear for
voiceover work, live streaming, podcasting and songwriting with studio-quality
audio.
Tascam DR-40X " Four input channels
In addition to normal stereo recording and dual recording, the DR-40X has a
four-channel mode that allows you to record two different stereo feeds
simultaneously. You're flexible with the combination of the sources: record with
the built-in microphones along with a pair of external mics for close-up and
ambient sound, for example. Or use the built-in mics together with balanced line
input to record the sound in the room along with a feed from a mixer. |
