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.

Audio-Technica AT875R Short Shotgun Microphone

With its smooth on-axis tone, great off-axis rejection, and straightforward operation, the Audio-Technica AT875R short shotgun microphone is well suited for budget-conscious indie films, TV shoots, nature recording, and documentary projects where simplicity and quality sound are prioritized.

The AT875R's high sensitivity allows it to perform reliably with a variety of microphone preamp classes. Its full-spectrum frequency response utilizes a gentle increase in high frequencies to enhance intelligibility and compensate for loss in clarity resulting from wind protection.

The durable housing ensures rugged dependability while maintaining a light weight that won't burden your boompole or camera, and the included accessories accommodate mounting the AT875R to a mic stand, boompole, or camera-mount microphone holder.

Quality Sound
Being less than 7" long, the AT875R is equally at home on a boompole or atop a camera. It uses an interference tube and a supercardioid polar pattern to yield focused on-axis directionality while attenuating rear-entry sound and rejecting sound at the sides. This makes the AT875R far more effective at capturing distant sources than the omnidirectional mics found in most cameras. Its 90 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response naturally reduces problematic bass frequencies from common sources such as traffic rumble and wind noise.
11 to 52 VDC Phantom Powered
With a balanced 3-pin XLR output and support for 11 to 52 VDC phantom powering, the AT875R is compatible with a variety of handheld audio recorders, field recorders, and mixer adapters as well as built-in preamps on many camcorders and cinema cameras.
Ideal for Boompole Mounting
The AT875R includes a mic clip for easy placement on a mic stand or boompole. Alternatively, mount the AT875R in the Audio-Technica AT8415 shockmount (available separately) to impede the transfer of vibrations between your boompole and the mic. The AT875R also includes two rubber O-rings that expand the microphone's diameter to fit the larger mic holders found on many high-end cameras.
Windscreen Minimizes Wind Noise
The AT875R has a foam windscreen to reduce unwanted wind noise from breezes, fans, heaters, and air conditioners. Enhanced attenuation of wind noise is possible with the addition of an optional windshield such as the Rycote 12 cm Super-Softie, which also provides high immunity to rain.

For maximum reduction of handling noise and wind noise in indoor or outdoor environments, consider the separately available Rycote Windshield Kit 3, a complete windjammer, windshield, and shockmount suspension system.
Auray DUSM-1 Universal Shockmount for Camera Shoes and Boompoles

The Auray DUSM-1 Universal Shockmount features a four-point suspension to accommodate shotgun and other cylindrical microphones measuring 0.74-0.98" (19-25mm) in diameter. The shockmount is easily angled with its rubberized adjustment knob. There is a built-in shoe for camera mounting, and a 3/8"-16 thread connection at the base mounts the shockmount to boompoles and universal handgrips.

Auray BP-28CN Carbon Fiber Boompole (7.7')
The Auray BP-28CN is a 5-section carbon fiber boompole that combines an anti-twist tube design with ergonomic twist locks to offer smooth telescoping and hassle-free, one-handed operation—great for adjusting the length quickly, on the fly when filming documentary, ENG, or reality-style videos. The boompole has a collapsed length of 2.2', an extended length of 7.7', and weighs just 1.1 lb.

The sections are made of graphite tubes designed to reduce flex and keep the weight to a minimum, reducing fatigue and resulting in quicker response and finer control of the microphone.

Lightweight Carbon Fiber Construction

  • The carbon fiber construction keeps the weight of your gear to a minimum when you're trekking to a location. Carbon fiber ensures durability that can tolerate demanding travel and location shoots in all kinds of weather.

Solid Grip and Smooth Telescoping

  • The ergonomic twist locks are covered with rubber grips that are easy on your hands and comfortable to operate, making length adjustment smooth and effortless. Improved shims ensure a firm and secure hold until you loosen the locks.

Anti-Twist Alignment Tubing for One-Handed Operation

  • Quick length adjustment when you're recording on the go is crucial for keeping from interrupting the shoot. With an anti-twist design, adjacent tubes won't twist when you're expanding or retracting the boompole. This allows for one-handed twist lock operation and makes setup and length adjustment fast and easy.

Rubber End Cap

  • A durable rubber cap at the bottom enables the operator to rest the boompole on its end without causing any damage.

Standard 3/8"-16 Threaded Mount

  • The boompole is outfitted with a standard 3/8"-16 threaded mount to ensure compatibility with most professional shotgun mics and shockmounts.

The Kopul Studio Elite 4000 Series XLR M to XLR F Microphone Cable (15') is a studio-quality cable for connecting mics to mixers, preamps, audio interfaces, and recorders or to be used in any other application where XLR connectivity is required. The cable is engineered to be both quiet and durable, and is well suited for critical recording and broadcast situations.

Studio Elite 4000 Series cables are made from 24 AWG OFC copper wire that's wrapped with PE insulation and a conductive PVC inner shield. A cotton-yarn inner layer helps reduce electrostatic and microphonic noise. A 98% braided outer shield makes the cable resistant to EMI and RFI noise. The Neutrik XX silver connectors provide a high level of connectivity, and all the solder connections are shrink-wrapped for protection.

98% braided shield offers protection from EMI and RFI noise.
Twin-conductive PVC inner shielding provides 100% coverage of the core conductor. It helps keep the cable's signal from radiating and affecting nearby cables, and also helps prevent external EMI from penetrating to the cable's core.
24 AWG oxygen-free stranded copper inner core provides the best possible conductivity.
Cotton yarn reduces electrostatic and microphonic noise.
All solder points shrink-wrapped for protection.
Neutrik XX silver connectors offer high conductivity.
Cast zinc shell and chuck style strain relief.
