TASCAM DR-40XP Reviews
Excellent upgrade to a reliable workhorse
I have used the DR-40X for years and have come to depend on its reliable performance. The new 40XP upgrades, in particular the 32 bit float and USB-C terminal, are excellent additions to this recorder. I routinely use both recorders in the field and in the studio. The menu is easy to use and the screen easy to read. Four recording channels provide lots of flexibility (including ducked safety tracks). Be sure to get a windscreen when buying, the on-recorder mics are pretty sensitive. The furry WS-86 seems to work best (foam windscreens get in the way if you want to go from X-Y to A-B mic orientation).
Top recorder for the money in 2026!
The new preamps on the updated DR40XP at this price point really make it the top recorder to buy in 2026. The built in mics are great and have very low noise. Coupled with two XLR inputs, you can have up to 4 mics altogether and the ability to mute any two at a time. This is really a great recorder for those new to field recording or needing a backup audio for their video work. One thing I wish it had is a 3.5mm mic input, but a Rode VXLR easily fixes that.
