Esteemed audio maker Tascam has introduced the next generation of their popular line of professional grade handheld recorders, the DR-X Series. Many of you may be familiar with the Tascam DR-40 4-track portable audio recorder, and now Tascam has an updated DR-40X version, as well as two more new models in the DR-X range – the most affordable DR-05X and the DR-07X targeting musicians.
Pitched as a great companion for videographers, voiceover artists, songwriters, and podcasters, the DR-40X is the top dog of the bunch with its 4-track recording ability, integrated directional stereo mics with adjustable A/B or X/Y configuration, and Dual-Neutrik XLR/1/4-inch combo inputs.
The XLR inputs on the DR-40X, which will mostly be of interest to those of you reading this post, can accept balanced microphone or line level from audio mixers or the front-of-house console. The microphone preamp includes +48V phantom power and plenty of gain for detailed recordings with condenser microphones, as well as electret type microphones.
