TASCAM Portacapture X6 32-Bit 6-Channel Multitrack Field Recorder
High-Resolution Adaptive Multitrack Recorder
Powerful and portable, the Portacapture X6 from TASCAM is the streamlined version of the popular X8, redesigned and scaled back for videographers, podcasters, and content creators working on smaller productions. The compact size of the X6 makes it easy to position for numerous recording applications, while still retaining the ability to record up to six simultaneous tracks at 96 kHz / 32-bit floating point.

The stereo condenser microphone pair can be adjusted for A/B or X/Y configurations, depending on the desired stereo field width, and X6 sports plenty of connectivity, including two XLR input jacks with 24 or 48V phantom power, one 3.5mm stereo aux input with plug-in power, a stereo 3.5mm line output, and a USB-C port with 6x2 audio interface capability, just to name a few. The color touchscreen makes it easy to operate the X6 like an app, with an intuitive and colorful interface, and the recorder can be mounted on cameras and stands via its 1/4" slot for extra versatility. With up to 22 hours max battery life and the ability to take up to 512 GB microSDXC cards, the X6 will keep you creating for as long as your imagination allows, anywhere you want.

App-Like Operation
Quickly access your settings and adjustments on the Portacapture X6's large, 2.4-inch color touchscreen. With the easy-to-navigate interface and helpful tools, you are just a few taps from the perfect setting for your needs.

Use the Launcher to select from Podcast, Music, Interviews, Field Recording, and 6-track multitrack recording. Start fast, start right, and get exactly what you need.

Fully Connected
The Portacapture X6 hosts a range of connections that can handle small to moderate sized productions. Whether used as a high-resolution digital audio interface or an analog field recorder, the X6 delivers quality audio and intuitive operation.

  • Two built-in condenser mics with angle adjustment and switchable A/B or X/Y patterns
  • Two XLR 3-pin inputs with selectable mic- or line-level operation and 24/48V phantom power
  • Extra 3.5mm stereo aux input which supports plug-in power 
  • 3.5mm stereo line output for sending your mix to external devices and audio systems
  • Powerful 3.5mm headphone output, delivering 45mW per channel 
  • USB-C port for audio interface duties supporting 6 simultaneous inputs and two outputs
Audio for Video Production
When shooting a video, you want to be able to focus on your video production and not worry about your audio. The Portacapture X6 was built with video production in mind. The workflow, presets and user-saved settings save you countless steps. The X6 has your back with its 96 kHz / 32-bit float recording technology and its ability to capture audio in WAV (BWF) and up to 320 kb/s MP3.

Not only does this mean you will have the highest quality audio, but you will have a dynamic range that allows you to overcome those less-than-ideal realities that can often occur on a shoot. The X6 gives you a time-code sync and app control options via Bluetooth, allowing you to align your audio with your video, even when you have no audio on your camera. Upgrade your audio and reduce your worries with your own Portacapture X6.

The AK-BT1 Bluetooth Adapter is sold separately.

Capture Your Way
With its two built-in microphones, the Portacapture X6 is ready to record with a few quick taps. Have your own mics? You can use them thanks to the two included XLR inputs and mix them with the built-in mics for a highly portable four-microphone setup. Record six tracks (four track + two mix) simultaneously and even use the X6 as a 6-in/2-out USB audio interface to connect to your computer.
Control the X6 from Your Phone
In those cases where you want to put your audio recorder in one place and operate it from another, the X6 has you covered. With the AK-BT1 Bluetooth adapter (sold separately) it's easy to remote control your X6 wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet. This feature can unlock nearly endless possibilities and make operation more convenient when recording in the field or on-the-go.
Capture Every Bit
It would be great if every time you need to capture audio, everything is perfect. Not too loud, not too soft. Of course that is not the reality for most of us. The huge dynamic range and ample headroom of the X6 makes it a reality, allowing your dialog to go from a mumble to a scream with ease.

Even in these extremes, you are expected to capture the sound and deliver a clean result. The 32-bit float point recording technology in the Portacapture X6 gives you a much lower floor and higher ceiling to achieve audio success without distortion.

Ready-to-Publish Audio Anywhere
With the Portacapture X6, your audio will be ready to share. Built-in signal processing, including a compressor, limiter, high-pass filter, EQ, and reverb add that studio polish.

Whether you need to tame the wind when recording outside or want to add the ambiance of reverb to your vocals, the X6 has you covered. From smoothing out your input to preventing extreme peaks or eliminating plosives in dialog, you can count on the X6.

Your Virtual Audio Engineer
Getting your settings just right for your recording goals can be overwhelming, but not on the Portacapture X6. Select from the pre-perfected settings like Voice, Podcast, Music Recording, ASMR, and Field Recording.

Just select the one that applies and start to record. Each setting was carefully tuned by TASCAM audio engineers for the defined use case. They set it all up, so you don't have to.

Designed for action cameras and mobile devices, the 64GB Extreme UHS-I microSDXC Memory Card from SanDisk features a storage capacity of 64GB and supports maximum read speeds of 170 MB/s and maximum write speeds of 80 MB/s. This card has also been designed with the V30 Video Speed Class rating, which guarantees minimum write speeds of at least 30 MB/s. All of this allows for users to immerse themselves in extreme sports videography and photography at resolutions of Ultra HD 4K (3840 x 2160) and Full HD (1920 x 1080).

While this card has been designed for cameras that are UHS-I / V30 compatible, it may be used in devices that do not support UHS-I / V30.

Aside from support for UHS-I, V30, and U3, SanDisk also built this card with support for the Application Performance Class 2 (A2) spec, which includes optimizations to give Android users an improved mobile experience, delivering faster mobile app performance. The A1 spec allows the card to manage random read input-output access per second (IOPS) operations so it can quickly open apps and process accompanying tasks, such as audio, graphics, saved profiles, and in-app permissions.

As with most SanDisk media, this memory card is shockproof, X-ray proof, and waterproof, while also being able to withstand temperatures from -13 to 185°F, allowing you to take this card with you into extreme environments, such as snow, deserts, and pools. Should the card's data become compromised, you also benefit from the option to download RescuePRO Deluxe software as well as a limited lifetime warranty. Included is a microSD to SD adapter, allowing this card to be used in SD-compatible devices.

Built for Extreme Conditions
SanDisk Extreme microSD UHS-I Cards are waterproof, shockproof, x-ray proof, and temperature proof to help protect your memories from life's mishaps. Take your phone or tablet to the snow, to the pool, or to the desert, where this card can endure temperatures ranging from -13 to 185°F.

Shure SM58-LC Cardioid Dynamic Microphone
A Workhorse for Center Stage
Classic, legendary, and in demand, the Shure SM58 remains one of the most identifiable vocal microphones, relied on by live engineers, houses of worship, and singers throughout the world. It's built to sound great and live long, thanks to tour-worthy ruggedness and sensible appointments, including internal shock absorption, a built-in pop filter, and a capsule that keeps stage noise at bay. Day after day, the SM58 earns its reputation on big stages, in home studios, and everywhere in between.
That Familiar Sound
With a midrange bump and a natural bass roll-off, the SM58 delivers a tone that's tailored for vocal clarity. Bring the mic up close for a full, warm, and bass-rich presence, or pull it back to get a more natural sound with reduced low frequencies and minimal "s" sounds.

Point the SM58 toward your source and away from unwanted sound; its cardioid polar pattern rejects much of what's behind it, significantly lowering the amount of stage bleed, monitor mix, or background noise that gets picked up by the mic.

Leave Handling Noise Behind
A pneumatic shockmount system in the SM58 absorbs vibrations to keep your sound clean and free of handling noise. This lets presenters and singers confidently hold the mic while speaking and performing, knowing that their voice is coming through prominently.

Built into the SM58 is a pop filter, which helps control wind and breath noise without requiring an external pop screen. Of course, external windscreens are available should you choose to accessorize your SM58.

On the Road Again
Enamel-coated metal construction and a steel-mesh grille make the SM58 highly resistant to wear, abuse, and the challenging conditions of live events.
Tech Notes
  • Dynamic capsule needs no phantom power
  • Balanced XLR 3-pin output jack for connection to a stage box, mic preamp, mixer, or audio interface
  • Break-resistant microphone clip rotates 180 degrees to ensure easy positioning

Born in the Studio
Bringing the acclaimed features of the M-Series headphones to a price point that's accessible for all, the black Audio-Technica ATH-M20x monitor headphones offer solid build quality and audio performance for musicians and content creators recording and mixing at home. Outfitted with 40mm dynamic drivers and an over-ear, closed-back design, the ATH-M20x headphones deliver enhanced bass response and wide bandwidth (15 Hz to 20 kHz) while isolating you from outside sounds.

Thanks to the 15° swiveling earcups, high-quality materials, and generous cushioning on the headband and earpads, the headphones are both durable and comfortable to wear. Exiting from the left earcup, the attached 9.8' cable reduces tangles and simplifies channel identification. The cable sports a 3.5mm mini plug for use with mobile devices and computer soundcards, and a 1/4" snap-on adapter is included for easy hookup to audio interfaces, mixers, and stereo receivers.

40mm Drivers

Tuned for Enhanced Bass Response
The drivers and headphone design work together to provide a sonic signature tuned for enhanced bass performance. With a frequency response of 15 Hz to 20 kHz, the ATH-M20x can reproduce a full spectrum of tones.
Over-Ear, Sound-Isolating Design
The ATH-M20x utilizes a circumaural design that contours around the ears for excellent sound isolation in loud environments. This over-ear, closed-back style is optimal for reducing bleed and separating you from outside sounds.
15° Swiveling Earcups
Equipped with 15° swiveling earcups, the ATH-M20x ensures a great fit.
Attached Single-Sided Cable
Keeping it simple and clean, the ATH-M20x incorporates an attached 9.8' cable that exits from the left side. This increases convenience and makes it easier to distinguish the different sides of the headphone.
3.5mm Plug and 1/4" Snap-On Adapter
The attached cable is terminated with a straight 3.5mm TRS mini plug for easy hookup to mobile devices, MP3 players, and computer headphone jacks. A 1/4" snap-on adapter is included for compatibility connectivity with audio interfaces, mixers, and dedicated headphone amplifiers.
