TASCAM DR-40XP 4-Channel 32-Bit-Float Portable Field Recorder with USB-C Interface and Adjustable Mics
The Tascam DR-40XP is a versatile 4-channel multitrack portable field recorder designed 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 a reliable solution for both recording and production workflows.

  • Support for 32-bit float recording
  • TASCAM HDDA mic preamps with improved noise performance
  • New RF-resistant microphone design
  • USB-C connectivity
  • Improved clock accuracy (±10 ppm)
  • One-touch recording with always-active meters
  • Expanded microSDXC support up to 512GB
From Performance to Production, Anywhere
Capture everything from acoustic instruments and vocals to full band performances, rehearsals, lessons, and live events, with professional-level sound quality. The DR-40XP combines four-channel recording with overdub and overwrite functions, reverb effects, and a built-in chromatic tuner for flexible production. With USB-C connectivity, it can function as a 2-in / 2-out audio interface, allowing direct integration with iPhone or computer-based DAWs for immediate recording and composition.
Professional Audio for Your Video
Designed for video creators, vloggers, and content producers, the DR-40XP features adjustable stereo condenser microphones that switch between X-Y mode for focused capture and A-B mode for immersive ambience. XLR/TRS inputs support external microphones, including shotgun mics, while improved clock accuracy (±10 ppm), slate tone generation, and a 3.5mm stereo line output help maintain tight audio-video synchronization in production environments.
Built for Field Recording Wherever Sound Takes You
Compact and portable, the DR-40XP delivers up to 18 hours of operation using three AA batteries. Its built-in microphones handle up to 125 dB SPL, making it suitable for everything from quiet environmental recordings to loud live sources such as vehicles and aircraft. With 32-bit-float / 96 kHz recording and dual XLR/TRS inputs with +48V phantom power, it supports flexible, professional field recording setups in any location.
Pristine Audio, Every Take
Equipped with TASCAM HDDA microphone preamps and an EIN of -126 dBu, the DR-40XP provides exceptionally clean, low-noise performance across both built-in and external inputs.
Worry-Free Recording Formats and Adjustable Stereo Condenser Microphones
The 32-bit-float recording ensures distortion-free results without requiring precise input level adjustments. The recorder supports multiple formats, including 32-bit float, 24-bit, and 16-bit WAV, at 96, 48, or 44.1 kHz, as well as MP3 for extended recording times. RF-resistant unidirectional microphones support both A-B and X-Y configurations, for accurate stereo imaging across a wide range of applications—from instruments and vocals to environmental sound and interviews.
Record Live Performances with Natural Ambience
Dual XLR/TRS combo inputs support mic- and line-level signals up to +24 dBu, with +48V phantom power for professional microphones. Blend a stereo feed from a live console with onboard microphones, using 4-channel recording to capture both clarity and room ambience.
Your Portable Recording Studio
Up to 18 hours of operation (2-channel recording with built-in microphones and alkaline batteries) keeps you recording longer without interruption. The recorder supports microSDXC cards up to 512GB, providing ample storage for extended recording sessions. Use the DR-40XP as a USB-C audio interface with 2-in / 2-out functionality for direct recording into your DAW on iPhone or computer.
Expanded Control and Utility
Includes auto recording, pre-rec, limiter / peak reduction, four-stage low-cut filters, input delay, overdubbing, playback control, and speed adjustment (0.5x to 2.0x). A built-in speaker, headphone output, tripod mount, and backlit LCD ensure usability in a wide range of environments.
