The built-in microphones are adjustable between A-B and X-Y stereo configurations, supporting everything from wide-field ambient recording to tightly focused interview and vocal capture. The XLR\/TRS inputs support 48V or 24V phantom power for external condenser microphones, and both internal and external inputs can run simultaneously for a full four-track recording session. Recording to microSDXC cards up to 512 GB, the DR-40XP supports WAV\/BWF at 32-bit float, 24-bit, and 16-bit resolutions, as well as MP3. A built-in chromatic tuner, reverb effects, overdub recording, and a slate tone for video sync round out a feature set suited to musicians, videographers, podcasters, journalists, field recordists, and live sound engineers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1391\" data-end=\"1690\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTake a look at the Tascam DR-40XP in more detail..\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"865\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AfraEpHOXoc\" title=\"DR-40XP - 4 Channel 32-Bit Float Portable Field Recorder \u0026amp; USB-C Interface With Adjustable Mics\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6 data-start=\"1692\" data-end=\"1742\"\u003e32-Bit Float Recording\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1743\" data-end=\"2166\"\u003e32-bit float recording is the most consequential upgrade in the DR-40XP over its predecessor. In standard recording, a signal that peaks above the set level clips and the audio is permanently distorted. With 32-bit float, the extended dynamic headroom means the recorder captures the full signal regardless of gain setting — levels can be corrected in post-production without any quality loss, even if the original take was heavily over or undercooked. For run-and-gun situations, live performances, and any recording where level-setting time is limited, this removes a significant risk. Tascam's free Audio File Manager software allows 32-bit float files to be adjusted after the fact with full fidelity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 data-start=\"2168\" data-end=\"2216\"\u003eHDDA Microphone Preamps\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2217\" data-end=\"2667\"\u003eThe DR-40XP uses Tascam's HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) preamps on the XLR\/TRS inputs, delivering an Equivalent Input Noise (EIN) of –126 dBu — a figure that puts it firmly in the professional territory for a handheld recorder. Compared to the unspecified standard preamps of the DR-40X, this represents a meaningful improvement in the clarity and noise floor of externally recorded sources, particularly when using low-output dynamic microphones or recording in quiet environments where preamp noise is audible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 data-start=\"2168\" data-end=\"2216\"\u003eAdjustable Stereo Microphones And Four-Track Recording\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2217\" data-end=\"2667\"\u003eThe built-in RF-resistant unidirectional condenser microphones adjust between A-B mode for a wider stereo image with more natural ambience, and X-Y mode for tighter, more phase-coherent stereo suited to interviews, close-miking, and controlled environments. Both modes handle up to 125 dB SPL without distortion, making them usable across a very wide range of sources. The two built-in microphones and the two XLR\/TRS external inputs can run simultaneously, giving four independent tracks that can be mixed down internally or exported for processing in a DAW.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 data-start=\"2168\" data-end=\"2216\"\u003eUSB-C Interface, Battery Life, And Practical Features\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2217\" data-end=\"2667\"\u003eThe USB-C port serves both for file transfer and as a 2-in\/2-out audio interface, compatible with Windows, Mac, and iOS devices, operating at up to 24-bit\/48 kHz in interface mode. Battery life reaches up to 30 hours on lithium AA cells, covering even long field recording days or multi-set live event documentation without needing a power source. Additional practical features include a 2-second pre-recording buffer, auto-record triggered by input level, instant recording activation without entering record pause mode, switchable low-cut filters at 40\/80\/120\/220 Hz, built-in reverb, a chromatic tuner, slate tone output for video sync, and a tripod\/microphone stand thread on the base.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKEY FEATURES: Tascam DR-40XP Portable 4-Track Digital Audio Recorder With 32-Bit Float Recording \u0026amp; USB-C Interface\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e32-Bit Float Recording:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 96 kHz, no clipping risk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHDDA Mic Preamps:\u003c\/strong\u003e EIN –126 dBu, 112 dB dynamic range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable Stereo Mics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Switchable A-B and X-Y configurations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e125 dB SPL Handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built-in mics suit loud environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour-Track Recording:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built-in mics plus two XLR\/TRS inputs simultaneously.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e48V\/24V Phantom Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports external condenser microphones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB-C Audio Interface:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-in\/2-out, iOS and computer compatible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUp To 30 Hours Battery Life:\u003c\/strong\u003e On lithium AA batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003emicroSDXC Up To 512 GB:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extensive on-location storage capacity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-In Tuner And Reverb:\u003c\/strong\u003e Practical tools for musician use.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tascam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57538453832015,"sku":"DR-40XP","price":222.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/3344\/9551\/files\/dr-40xp_front_x-y.jpg?v=1779037478","url":"https:\/\/www.audiodirect.co.uk\/products\/tascam-dr-40xp-portable-4-track-digital-audio-recorder-with-32-bit-float-recording-usb-c-interface","provider":"Audio Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
