The DR-40X is a versatile 4-track recorder: music, podcasting, cinema, and any other application requiring high-quality audio Based on the commercially successful Tascam DR-40, this recorder brings some new features . Even more powerful: It incorporates a pair of static cardioid microphones, accepting high levels of sound pressure, configurable in AB or XY, for a wide stereo image or a very clear reproduction, with good phase coherence between the two channels. Possibility to use its own microphones or sources at the line level, thanks to the two inputs on Combo (mixed XLR / TRS jack) Neutrik, compatible microphone level and line level 4 dBu (front panel for example) The mic preamps can provide a voltage of 48-volt phantom power, with enough gain to capture the slightest whispers to the loud sounds of live gigs. The built-in stereo microphone pair captures the public vibe while recording the output signal directly from the console, making it ideal for live performances. Like its predecessor, the DR-40X offers the Dual Level Recording feature, which helps prevent recording distortion by creating a second file with a lower gain setting. Simple use: The control layout has been redesigned on the DR-40X for quick and easy access to all functions with one finger. Operations such as recording, setting levels, removing bad shots and setting markers are done with one touch. Menus are available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Russian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese. Three different modes of automatic level management (Limiter, Peak Reduction, Auto Level) help prevent accidental distortion during recording. The user can apply a reverb effect (to choose from six types) to the input or output signal, and the Overdub function allows you to add voices or instruments to existing audio files. In addition, the Level Align function smooths out any abrupt level changes during playback, and a built-in speaker provides fast monitoring. The menu also allows you to choose other functions, such as variable speed listening, high-pass filter, chromatic tuner ... New Features: The new Dictation mode allows the user to jump forward and backward for a certain amount of time during playback. It can be used at the same time as the speed setting, and a specific equalizer for dictaphone use is very convenient for transcribing reports, for example. The new Overwrite mode, with a rollback level, allows the user to select an entry point and replace a portion of an existing record. In addition to mobile recording, the DR-40X can also be used as a USB audio interface, with two inputs and two outputs: a suitable tool for voiceover work, live streaming, podcasting and composition, with studio quality sound.
