About this item

  • Line Level Input For Live Capture: The Tascam DR-40X Audio Interface features dual Neutrik XLR/TRS combo jacks that support both mic-level and +4dBu line-level. These inputs can accept balanced microphone or line level from Mixers or the FOH console. The microphone preamp includes +48V phantom power and plenty of gain for detailed recordings with condenser microphones, as well as electret type microphones
  • Versatile Four-track Recording: In addition to normal stereo channel recording and dual recording mode, the DR-40X has 4CH Mode that can record two different stereo feeds simultaneously. 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
  • Wide Covering Range: The DR-40X Audio Recording Interface 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
  • Overwrite Mode: If you don’t like the last part of a phrase you just recorded with your guitar, or if you change your mind and want to rephrase narration, the Overwrite mode is exactly what you need. The Overwrite mode allows you to punch-in recording from a desired point. It is destructive editing with one level of undo
  • Nondestructive Overdubbing: The overdubbing function allows for overdub recording while playing a previously recorded file. This allows you to record other parts such as a guitar solo over a recording previously made such as at a rehearsal studio. Overdubbing creates a new file, leaving the original file unaffected, making it easy to re-record

    Customers are mixed about the ease of use. Some mention the quality is amazing and the user interface is intuitive and easy to learn. The manuals are pretty simple to follow, and the controls are intuitive. However, others say that the unit is very crowded, it's not always intuitive, difficult to navigate, and confusing at first. It takes some time to learn all features, but once you get the hand of it, it is fine.

    Customers are mixed about the performance of the audio midi interface. Some mention that it works fantastic, good enough to get the job done, and retains a lot of functionality. However, others say that it wouldn't work, wouldn' t turn on, and that using Eneloop NiMH batteries wouldn''t either.

    5 Stars
    The one I wanted.
    After years working with a Tascam DR-05 for years, I finally had enough of workarounds and compromises to get a good signal from line out to the recorder.The price had gone down considerably on this unit (thanks Amazon warehouse..used acceptable!), so I decided to try it.Initial test recordings were pretty good though the microphone…but I HAD to try the line inputs.I got accurate, 24 bit recordings that sound exactly like the source, which is all I needed and expected! The bonus of the unit being a 4 track recording device could easily come in handy for my needs.At the price, you’ll not do much better. A 16 go SDcard would give you 16 hours of recording time in stereo!Buy it if you’re thinking about it!
