DR-40X

Great recorder with useful recording mode functions incl 4 tracks for internal and external mics. Inbuilt phantom power and playback channel mixer. Good construction.Easy to use. USB power input. But eats batteries so recommend buying a charger if you use frequently or for long duration use.

Great bit of kit

This is by far the best handheld recorder I've owned. I thought about giving it 4 stars because of the poor documentation/owner's manual, but the recorder is too good. A word of advice. If you plan to use external microphones, save yourself a lot of time and frustration. Be sure you have "Balanced" cables to connect the mic to the recorder. I had to work my way through a number of after-market "How-to" presentations to learn this. But before you decide on an external mic, give the onboard mics a try. I use my recorder to record our church's sermons. I want to keep as much equipment out of view as possible, so I mount the recorder on a low-profile tripod on the podium and point the mics toward the speaker. I use the stereo position. The sound quality is excellent. And audience noise is minimal. No regrets.

Bought this as a birthday present for my husband as it was what he wanted. He's over the moon, loves it. Didn't take long for it to get here once bought. More than happy

I got it to replace my ancient and well used Zoom H4 and so far I am preferring it. I am used to the interface from another TASCAM recorder I own, and so far I am figuring it out fine. I do agree with critiques that the quick start guide in the box is inadequate for the serious user--you need to download the full reference manual from the TASCAM site to learn about all features. It also seems to be much gentler on batteries than older recorders I have, and USB bus power capabaility is a step up from what I am use to. Caveat: It is billed as a 4 track recorder, and indeed it is, but non-destructive overdubbing works only in stereo mode, The 4-channel feature is cool, though, as it allows you to use the internal mic (which is excellent) and the external inputs simultaneously and lays down separate files to mix down later as you wish. The USB interface function is excellent too, though I doubt this will replace the dedicated interfaces I already have. In sum, I do recommend it, but the discriminating buyer should download the reference manual first and be sure it does what you want.

Tascam. Une marque qui propose un enregistreur comme celui-ci, c'est pas souvent. On a un bon rapport qualité prix. La qualité audio est incroyable, les réglages ne manquent pas. De nombreux formats d'enregistrement. Peut être utilisé en tant que micro ou interface audio sûr un pc. Un boîtier plastique solide et qui donne impression de solidité, surtout au futur. Y'a beaucoup trop de choses à dire mais peu importe votre utilisation, que ce soit pour de l'enregistrement de sons, de voix, de musique ou encore de contenu ASMR, ce produit fait tout sans problème. Contenu de la boîte : Le tascam, trois piles (qui durent vraiment longtemps, c'est abusé), des notices d'utilisation, un petit pied en caoutchouc (à installer sur la vis de montage si vous voulez mettre le tascam vraiment à plat). Je recommande.
