NAMM 2019Tascam introduces next generation DR-X Series Digital Audio Recorder and USB Audio Interface
Tascam has introduced the next generation of their line of professional grade handheld recorders, the DR-X Series. The natural evolution of Tascam's handheld recorders, the DR-X Series marks a dramatic update to these recorders' already robust feature sets.
The perfect companion for videographers, voiceover artists, songwriters, and podcasters, the DR-40X's integrated unidirectional stereo mics with scalable A/B or X/Y configuration, dual XLR/1/4-inch combo inputs, built-in phantom power for condenser mics, integrated 4-track capability, and wired remote control option make it an ideal tool for DSLR video, music recording, sound design, and more. Tascam say DSLR film-makers will love the DR-40X's Auto-Tone function, providing an audio cue tone identifying each recording take.

With its dual integrated scalable unidirectional A/B or X/Y configurable mics and crystal clear sound, the DR-07X is great for music recording, spoken word, and more.

Incorporating all of the DR-07X's features minus the scalable microphones, the DR-05X is equipped with a pair of omnidirectional condenser mics, making it the ideal tool for recording music, meetings, dictation, and more.

The DR-X Series also taps into Tascam's decades of innovation in computer-based recording, incorporating a studio-quality 2 in/2 out USB audio interface that makes all DR-X Series recorders a perfect fit for live streaming, podcasting, and digital audio workstations.
All DR-X models boast a totally revamped user interface, making it easy to access recording, adjusting levels, deleting takes, adding markers, and other common functions with just the click of a thumb. Multi-language menus in English / Spanish / French / Italian / German / Russian / Chinese / Korean / Japanese / Portuguese are included. And with increased capacity for microSDXC cards up to 128GB, DR-X Series recorders can record for days on end.
Other features in the DR-X Series include a new powerful bright white backlit display that's easy to see even in the brightest sunlight, as well as Dictation Mode, which enables the user to instantly jump back audio playback in preselected increments including speed control and a special dictation EQ, and Overwrite Mode, which allows users to select a precise Record drop-in time for replacement recording with one level of undo. The DR-X Series' Auto-Recording function can be set to begin recording when a sound is detected, and its Pre-Recording function delivers fail-safe recordings with up to 2 seconds of pre-record time.
DR-X Series recorders are available now. The DR-40X carries an estimated street price of $199.99; the DR-07X $149.99, and the DR-05X $119.99.
