Portable audio recorders | Handheld recorders

Whether for field recordings, podcasts or interviews, portable recorders are the convenient way to record audio on the go. Tascam and Zoom are the two main players in the world of portable recorders, offering a range of options with built-in microphones, typically recording to SD cards or built-in storage. Most are handheld devices small enough to tuck into a pocket, ready to record when inspiration strikes, while even the most advanced models are small and light enough to carry in a rucksack. High-end recorders now offer a wide range of advanced features, including Wi-Fi functionality for cloud storage, iOS/Android app control, built-in USB audio interfaces and camera integration for videographers. Whichever you choose, sound quality is remarkably good for most modern recorders, with high-resolution 24-bit audio now standard for most portable devices.

Supplier's Notes:
Discover the Subtle Differences in High-Quality Content Creation

You don't have time for long set-ups if you regularly create new audio content on the go. And sound quality must meet the highest standards if your productions are to be successful. With the Portacapture X8 from Tascam, high-quality recordings are now even easier. Thanks to its app- like operation via a large colour touch screen, this field recorder can be quickly adapted to the situation at hand to record up to six signals plus a stereo mix in impressive 32-bit/192-kHz resolution. Enjoy the built-in mixer with EQ, dynamic processing and effects, use the USB mode later to process the material on a computer with minimal loss, or stream your show directly to the Internet.

The Portacapture X8 makes all the difference.

The Portacapture X8 isTASCAMs New Generation High Resolution Adaptive Multi-Recorder.Featuring 192kHz/ 32-bit floating point recording technology for highest audio quality.

Combined with the recorder's intuitive Launcher system and the incorporated 3.5-inch color touch panel display, the Portacapture X8 provides users with more time to focus on the actual recording without having to struggle with complicated settings. It uses an app-like set of configurations that optimize the unit for various recording tasks, including multitrack recording, voice capture for interviews, podcasts, music recording, field recording, and ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) for capturing those unusual / sensory related sounds.

The Portacapture X8 comes with two large 14.6mm diameter built-in condenser microphones. With the TASCAM developed HDDA mic preamps, these microphones are well suited for high quality audio recording and can easy be set for A-B and X-Y microphone patterns.

The TASCAM Portacapture X8 provides a wealth of DSP capability that include Compressor, Limiter, Low-Cut Filter, Noise Gate, Reverb, Auto Gain Control, and more.

Wireless remote control is possible via the TASCAM Portacapture Control using the optional AK-BT1 Bluetooth dongle with your Android or iOS device.

With its 2 built-in large format stereo mics, 4 XLR inputs with support for both mic and line-level, AUX-IN, LINE OUT, and CAMERA IN/OUT terminals, the Portacapture X8 provides an abundance of IN/OUT choices for multiple recording scenarios. The 3.5mm CAMERA EXT/IN connector also supports audio input of wireless microphones and more. Additionally, the Portacapture X8 is equipped with a CAMERA/LINE output with an attenuation function that allows for sending audio to external devices such as cameras.

Together with its multitrack record capability of 8 tracks (6 tracks plus 2 mix) and its 8-IN / 2-OUT USB Type C audio interface with support for USB bus power, the Portacapture X8 is a full-featured powerful handheld recorder both on its own or with a computer. Audio monitoring is possible via either the unit's headphone output or the built-in speaker and the recorder also provides both mark and slate tone functions. Supported recording media includes micro SD, micro SDHC, and micro SDXC cards up to 512GB capacity.

Tascam Portacapture X6 Multi-Track Handheld Recorder
Cat: 923819 Rel: 28 Feb 23
 
Hi-resolution multi-track handheld recorder.
Notes: More affordable than the flagship X8 but still offering exceptional sound quality, the X6 is a handheld recorder for every purpose, with built-in mics or XLR inputs, 96-kHz/32-bit resolution and smartphone-style touchscreen control.

Supplier's Notes:
Advanced recording technology, yet simple to use!

Capturing high-resolution audio is easy with the Portacapture X6. The intuitive app-like operation on its large colour touchscreen makes it easy to record or sweeten up your audio in post-processing. Record using the two built-in microphones or plug in your own mics to its two XLR inputs. The recording quality on the Portacapture X6 will be your secret advantage. Its 96-kHz/32-bit floating-point recording technology means that you can capture audio softer or louder than ideal, assuring that you will never miss that moment.

Six different recording apps to choose from

Manual: This is the main app for multi-track recording of up to six audio sources and a stereo mix (2-mix).
Voice: This recording app is ideal for capturing interviews, dictation and meetings.
Podcast: Use this for podcast creation with up to four people.
Music: Choose this app for capturing instrumental and vocal performances.
Field: Ideal for recording nature sounds outdoors.
ASMR: The screen visual effect changes in response to the input sound.

App-like operation
Quickly access your settings and adjustments on the Portacapture X6's large (2.4-inch) colour touchscreen. With the easy-to-navigate interface and helpful tools, you are just a few taps from the perfect setting for your needs. Use the Launcher to select from podcast, music, interviews, field recording and real 6-track recording. Start fast, start right and get exactly what you need.

Audio for video production

When shooting a video, you want to be able to focus on your video production and not worry about your audio. The Portacapture X6 was built with video production in mind. The workflow, presets and user settings save you countless steps. The X6 has your back with its 96 kHz/32-bit float recording technology. Not only does this mean you will have the highest quality audio, but you will have a dynamic range that allows you to overcome those less-than-ideal realities that can often occur on a shoot.

The X6 even gives you a timecode sync option* via Bluetooth (with optional AK-BT1) allowing you to align your audio with your video, even when you have no audio on your camera. Upgrade your audio and reduce your worries with your own Portacapture X6.

Record your way

The Portacapture X6 is ready to record with a few quick taps. The internal high-quality stereo microphones can instantly be rotated from A-B to a true X-Y mic pattern to allow for dialogue or spatial music recording. Have your own mics? Use those thanks to the two included XLR inputs which can also handle line level sources.

The mic preamplifiers are Tascam HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) - providing ultra-low noise and clean transparent audio based on more than 50 years of Tascam know-how.

Record six tracks (four individual track plus stereo mix) simultaneously and even use the X6 as your 6-in/2-out USB audio interface to connect to your computer.

Capture every bit

It would be great if every time you need to capture audio, everything is perfect. Not too loud, not too soft. Of course that is not the reality for most of us. Sometimes a voice or sound will be really soft and in other cases it is blasting. Even in these extremes, you are expected to capture the sound and deliver well-finished audio.

The 32-bit floating point recording technology in the Portacapture X6 gives you a much lower floor and higher ceiling for sound material. The result is that your recording can capture everything from the quietest rustle to the loudest spectacle.

Control the recorder from your phone (with optional Bluetooth adapter)

In those cases where you want to put your audio recorder in one place and operate it from another, the X6 has you covered. With the AK-BT1 Bluetooth adapter (sold separately) and the free Portacapture Control app, it's easy to remote control your X6 wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet.

Imagine the possibilities!

Ready-to-publish audio anywhere

With the Portacapture X6, your audio is ready to share. Built-in signal processing, including a compressor, limiter, high-pass filter, EQ and reverb, adds that studio polish.

Whether you need to tame the wind when recording outside or want to add the ambiance of reverb to your vocals, the X6 has you covered. From smoothing out your input to preventing extreme peaks or eliminating plosives in dialogue, you can count on the Portacapture X6.
