Tascam PORTACAPTURE-X8 High Resolution Portable Recorder

Description: Tascam's PORTACAPTURE-X8 high-resolution portable recorder with touchscreen puts a mobile recording studio in the palm of your hand. In 1979 Tascam set the standard for high-quality portable recording with the Portastudio 144. They've never looked back. The PORTACAPTURE-X8 is a hi-res multi-track handheld portable recorder designed for today's 24/7 content capture. Familiar app-like operation and legendary Tascam audio quality are fused with cutting-edge functionality allowing creators to simply create. The PORTACAPTURE-X8's Launcher system employs a gorgeous full-color 3.5" touch panel that provides intuitive navigation for setting, saving, and updating settings. Six presets designed around common recording scenarios let you dive into creating without sifting through complicated menus and settings to get started. Atop the recorder sits a pair of detachable large-format condenser mics for A-B or X-Y coincident recording in addition, four side panel XLR/TRS combo jacks offering up to six simultaneous inputs. You can also record a stereo mix for a total of eight recorded tracks. All inputs are passed through Tascam's pristine HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) mic preamps and then handed off to the built-in converters that support up to 192kHz/32-bit floating point capture. With 32-bit float capability, you can deliver high gain low-noise audio from recordings at almost any input level. The recorder is equipped with onboard processing, including compression, limiting, reverb, and more to ensure a high production value with minimal effort. Thanks to side panel 3.5mm camera jacks, audio can be sent to or received from external sources like cameras or wireless devices, providing maximum flexibility in the field. You can monitor the proceedings via a 3.5mm headphone out or the built-in speaker. Familiar recording functions like punch-in/out, auto record, and pre-roll are supported in the recording app. It's almost like having a Portastudio in the palm of your hand. Other various in-app features include sound effects, dynamics presets, specific instrument presets, and more. The PORTACAPTURE-X8 can be powered by 4 AA batteries, USB bus power, or the PS-P520U AC adapter (sold separately). Supported recording media includes micro SD, micro SDHC, and micro SDXC (up to 512GB) recording media, offering wide compatibility. The Portacapture-X8. Take it with you, capture what you find, share it with the world.Tascam PORTACAPTURE-X8 Applications:PodcastingMulti-track recordingInterviewsDictationNature recordingTascam PORTACAPTURE-X8 Includes:Portacapture X8 x 1Included mics x 1(left/right pair)AA alkaline batteries x 4Owner's Manual (including warranty)TASCAM ID registration guideTascam PORTACAPTURE-X8 Features:Intuitive Launcher system using a 3.5-inch color touch panel displayRecording applications such as basic multi-track recording, podcasting, music, voice (interviews, vlog), field recording, ASMR and more4 XLR/TRS locking combo jack MIC/LINE inputs with individual 24/48V phantom power supplyIn-house-developed HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) mic preampsSupports up to 192kHz/ 32-bit float point recordingDetachable 14.6mm large-diaphragm condenser mics for both A-B position and X-Y positionIncludes 8-in/2-out USB audio interface functionInternal mics can be used as a USB audio sourceInternal recording to SD card is available while the unit is functioning in USB audio interface modeInternal multi-track recording up to 8 tracks (6 tracks + 2 mix)TASCAM Portacapture Control app for wireless remote control via mobile devices (with optional AK-BT1 Bluetooth adapter)Dual recording mode enables each track to be recorded in a different file formatEquipped with a variety of functions such as low-cut filter, compressor, limiter, auto-gain control, reverb, noise gate and normalizeCAMERA/EXT input allows audio recorded on a camera to be monitored and also supports audio input of wireless microphones and moreCAMERA/LINE output with attenuation function allows for sending audio to external devices like cameras, etc.Audio monitoring is possible with either headphone output or the built-in speakerSupports micro SD/micro SDHC/micro SDXC (up to 512GB) recording mediaEquipped with a Mark function and slate tone functionPowered by 4 AA batteries, USB bus power, or optional AC adapter (PS-P520U)Support multi-language menu display (English, Japanese, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Chinese, Korean, Russian)Tascam PORTACAPTURE-X8 Specifications:Recording media: microSD cards (64MB - 2GB), microSDHC cards (4GB - 32GB), microSDXC cards (48GB - 512GB)Recording / playback formatsWAV (BWF): 44.1k/48k/96k/192kHz, 16/24-bit, 32-bit floatMP3: 44.1k/48kHz, 128k/192k/256k/320kbpsNumber of channelsInput channels: 6 channels maximumRecording tracks: 8 tracks maximum (6 tracks, stereo mix)Analog audio input ratingsMic inputs (unbalanced)Input jacks: 1-2(support plug-in power)Connectors: 3.5mm (1/8") Mini TRS jacksMaximum input level: +1dBVMinimum input level: -69.3dBVInput impedance: 85kΩ or higherMic inputs (balanced)Input jacks: 3-6(input set to "MIC")Connectors: XLR-3-31 equivalent(1: GND, 2: HOT, 3: COLD) 6.3mm(1/4") standard TRS jacksInput(Tip: HOT, Ring: COLD, Sleeve: GND)Note: phantom power supported by XLR onlyMaximum input level: +2dBuMinimum input level: -75dBuInput impedance: 2.2kΩ or higherInput jacks: 3-6(Input set to "LINE")Connectors: XLR-3-31 equivalent(1: GND, 2: HOT, 3: COLD) 6.3mm(1/4") standard TRS jacksInput(Tip: HOT, Ring: COLD, Sleeve: GND)Nominal input level: +4dBu (GAIN:min)Maximum input level: +24dBuMinimum input level: -53dBuInput impedance: 9kΩ or higherLine input (unbalanced)EXT IN jackConnectors: 1/8" (3.5mm) Stereo Mini jackNominal input level: -10dBV (GAIN:min)Maximum input level: +10dBVMinimum input level: -48dBVInput impedance: 8.5kΩ or higherAnalog audio outputLine output (unbalanced)LINE OUT jackConnectors: 1/8" (3.5mm) Stereo Mini jackNominal output level: -14dBVMaximum output level: +6dBVOutput impedance: 200ΩHeadphone outputHeadphone jackConnectors: 1/8" (3.5mm) Stereo Mini jackMaximum output: 45mW + 45mW (THD+N 0.1% or less, into 32Ω)Built-in speaker: 0.4W (mono)Control input/output ratingsUSB portConnectors: USB Type-CFormat: USB2.0 HIGH SPEED mass storage classBluetooth® device connector: For Bluetooth® adapter (AK-BT1) onlyPower4 AA batteries (Alkaline, Ni-MH or Lithium-ion)USB bus power from a computerTASCAM PS-P520U AC adapter (sold separately)Power consumption: 7.5W (maximum)Dimensions: 83 (W) × 205.6 (H) × 41.5 (D) mm including protrusionsWeight: 472g / 381g (with/without batteries)Operating temperature range: 0 - 40°CAudio performanceFrequency responseInput jacks 1–6and EXT IN jack to PCM data: 20Hz - 20kHz at 48kHz: +0 / -0.3dB (JEITA)20Hz - 60kHz at 192kHz: +0 / -2.5dB (JEITA)S/N ratioInput jacks 1–2 to PCM data (20kHz SPCL LPF, A-weighting): 101dB (48kHz)Input jacks 3–6, EXT IN jack to PCM data (20kHz SPCL LPF, A-weighting): 102dB (48kHz)Total harmonic distortion ratio (THD+N) (1kHz sine, -5 dBFS input,GAIN: min,20kHz SPCL LPF)Input jacks 1–2 to PCM data: 0.005%Input jacks 3–6 (LINE IN) to PCM data: 0.008%Input jacks 3–6 (MIC IN) to PCM data: 0.006%
