The Tascam DR-40XP Audio Recorder is a versatile four-track audio recorder for cinema, music, podcasting and any other application, including nature recording. Easy-to-use compact design with a high-performance feature set and versatile audio I/O, all to produce professional content.
Wide Covering Range: From Whispering Voice to Jet Engine
The Tascam DR-40XP Audio Recorder allows high-quality recording with its stereo built-in condenser microphones. Every detail is captured from small whispers to loud sounds up to 125dB SPL. These built-in microphones are adjustable unidirectional microphones for recording in an X-Y pattern for tight stereo imaging, or in an A-B pattern for a more ambient recording.
Adjustable Microphone for Preferred Stereo Image
The Tascam DR-40XP Audio Recorder is equipped with adjustable unidirectional microphones that can be used for recording in both the A-B position and X-Y position. Advanced microphone placing allows for a wide stereo sound recording or a clear stereo sound recording with less phase difference, making it possible to achieve professional quality recordings.
