Description

The TASCAM DR-40XP is a compact four-channel portable recorder designed for musicians, videographers, content creators, and field recordists. Its adjustable stereo condenser microphones can be positioned in A-B or X-Y configurations, making it easy to capture wide ambient sound, focused interviews, live performances, rehearsals, and natural environments. With 32-bit float recording at up to 96 kHz, the DR-40XP captures clean, detailed audio while reducing the risk of clipped or unusable recordings.

Two XLR/TRS combo inputs with HDDA microphone preamps provide flexible connections for external microphones, instruments, mixers, and other audio sources. The inputs support phantom power for compatible condenser microphones, while four-channel recording allows the built-in microphones and external sources to be captured at the same time. Useful tools such as overdubbing, reverb, a limiter, low-cut filtering, pre-recording, automatic recording, and a built-in tuner support a wide range of creative and production workflows.

The DR-40XP also functions as a 2-in/2-out USB-C audio interface for computers and compatible mobile devices. Support for microSDXC cards up to 512 GB, long battery operation, a built-in speaker, headphone monitoring, and a standard tripod mount make it a practical recording solution for use in studios, venues, classrooms, and outdoor locations.
