Tascam DR-40XP

The DR-40XP is your go-to 4-track field recorder – built for musicians, videographers and anyone who wants to capture brilliant audio on the move with total reliability. It combines adjustable stereo microphones with low-noise HDDA mic preamps, plus XLR/TRS inputs with phantom power, so you’re ready for almost any recording setup.

With 32-bit float recording at sampling rates up to 96 kHz, you get clean, distortion-free audio even in challenging environments. Add in long battery life and a USB-C audio interface option, and it’s a solid choice for both recording in the field and working in the studio.
