About Tascam DR-40XP

Pro-Quality Portable Recording, Beyond the Basics
The DR-40XP is a versatile 4ch multi-track portable field recorder for musicians, video creators, and field recordists. Featuring adjustable stereo microphones, ultra-low noise HDDA mic preamps, XLR/TRS inputs with phantom power, and 32-bit float / 96 kHz recording, it delivers clean, clip-free audio in any environment. Long battery life and USB-C audio interface functionality make it ideal for recording and production in any situation.

From Performance to Production, Anywhere
Capture everything from acoustic guitar, piano and vocals, strings and brass, orchestras, to DJ sets, band live shows and rehearsals, lessons, competitions and music production with professional-level sound quality. The DR-40XP features HDDA mic preamps, four-channel recording, overdub and overwrite functions, reverb effects, and a built-in tuner. Connect directly to your iPhone or laptop via USB-C and use it as an audio interface to start composing instantly in your favorite DAW.

Professional Audio That Elevates Your Video
Designed for video creators, YouTubers, and vloggers, the DR-40XP features adjustable stereo microphones with X-Y mode for interviews and vlogs, and A-B mode for capturing immersive ambience in live and on-location scenes. XLR/TRS inputs support external shotgun microphones, while improved clock accuracy, a slate tone for audio-video sync, and a 3.5 mm stereo line output help take your video production to the next level.

Built for Field Recording-Wherever Sound Takes You
Compact and portable, the DR-40XP offers up to 18 hours of battery life with built-in microphones that handle up to 125 dB SPL, capturing everything from subtle birdsong to loud aircraft and vehicle noise.

Pristine Audio, Every Take
Equipped with TASCAM's HDDA microphone preamps, the DR-40XP features external XLR/TRS combo inputs with an EIN of -126 dB, delivering exceptionally clear, low-noise audio performance.

Worry-Free Recording Formats
With 32-bit float recording, your audio stays clean, detailed, and free from distortion-without the need to worry about input level settings. Multiple recording formats are supported, including 32-bit float, 24-bit, and 16-bit WAV at 96 kHz, 48 kHz, or 44.1 kHz, as well as MP3.

Adjustable Stereo Condenser Microphones
The DR-40XP is equipped with RF-resistant unidirectional stereo condenser microphones supporting A-B and X-Y stereo configurations, enabling accurate and faithful sound capture across a wide range of applications. Ideal for recording electric guitar, piano, vocals, drums, and full band performances, as well as field recordings such as ocean waves, birdsongs, vehicle sounds, and interviews.

External Inputs
Equipped with XLR/TRS combo jacks that support +48 V phantom power for external stereo microphones, as well as stereo line-level inputs (up to +24 dBu).

Record Live Performances with Natural Ambience
Take a 2-channel feed from a live console (balanced line level, max +24dBu) and combine it with the built-in microphones using 4-channel multitrack recording to capture clear sound and authentic live atmosphere.

Long Battery Life
With up to 18 hours of continual usage from three AA alkaline batteries, users can focus on the audio rather than how much power is left.

Your Portable Recording Studio
