Flexible I/O and recording options

The TASCAM DR-40 makes on-the-go 4-track recording easy, thanks to its flexible I/O and recording options. For live recording, the DR-40 gives you everything you need. Just take the main feed off the board (plugged into the DR-40’s XLR Combo jacks) and use the built-in microphones to capture the sound of the room. Onboard phantom power also lets you record with any condenser microphones. And since the DR-40 can record in formats ranging from MP3 to 24-bit/96kHz WAV, you can get exactly the recording quality you need.

The tools you need to nail every recording

Never miss another take! To make recording with the DR-40 as easy and fool-proof as possible, TASCAM gave this handheld recorder super-useful functions. First, there’s the DR-40’s peak reduction function, which automatically sets your levels to the optimal incoming volume. If the music gets loud or there’s an unexpected peak, the DR-40’s built-in limiter ensures that your recording will be safe, and a lowpass filter keeps low-end rumble from overwhelming your audio. Finally, there’s the DR-40’s dual recording mode, which captures a safety track at a lower level, so even if disaster strikes, you won’t miss a moment of your audio.

Excellent onboard effects and processing

More than a handheld recorder, the TASCAM DR-40 is a true studio-to-go. Variable speed playback and overdub modes let you rock out to your own recordings and write whole songs inside the DR-40. Add EQ to your tracks and automatically align their levels, for polished-sounding playback, or add a touch of reverb for extra dimension. The DR-40 even has a built-in speaker, so you can audition your takes without plugging in headphones. And when it’s time to upload your tracks to your computer, high-speed USB 2.0 makes file transfer quick and easy.
