The Tascam DR-40 (and its successors, the DR-40X and DR-40XP) is a versatile, highly-regarded 4-channel portable digital recorder favored by musicians, filmmakers, and field recordists for its adjustable built-in microphones, XLR/TRS inputs, and dependable dual-recording safety features.
Key Features
4-Track Recording: Capture up to four channels simultaneously using the built-in mics and external sources.
Adjustable Condenser Mics: The built-in microphones can easily be rotated between an X-Y pattern(for tight, centered stereo imaging) and an A-B pattern (for a wider, ambient room sound).
Combo Inputs: Dual Neutrik XLR/TRS jacks with +48V phantom power allow you to plug in professional shotgun mics or instruments.
Safety & Overdubbing: Dual recording mode simultaneously captures a backup copy of your audio at a lower volume to prevent distortion, while non-destructive overdubbing lets you record layers over previous takes.
USB Interface: Can function directly as a 2-in/2-out USB audio interface when connected to a Mac or PC.
