Record Like a Pro On the Go!

TASCAM's incredible DR-40 lets you take true 4-track recording on the go! This impressively affordable 4-track recorder gives you all of the tools you need to capture audio anywhere in any environment. Want to record live music? Plug the main feed from the board right into the DR-40 and use the built-in microphones to capture the room. Want to record audio for video? Just plug your shotgun microphone into an input and enable phantom power. Dual mode recording, automatic level adjustment, and a built-in limiter all ensure that your recordings will come out sounding great. And the TASCAM DR-40 includes great practice and studio-style recording tools, such as a built-in tuner and reverb, making it an amazing songwriting tool too.

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.
