These inputs can accept balanced microphone or line level from Mixers or the FOH console. Using the stereo built-in microphones, you can capture ambient sound of the audience while recording direct from an external console, which is ideal for capturing live performances. Wide covering range: from whispering voice to jet engine DR-40X allows high-quality recording with its stereo built-in condenser microphones. Every detail is captured from small whispers to loud sounds up to 125dB SPL. These built-in microphones are adjustable unidirectional microphones for recording in an X-Y pattern for tight stereo imaging, or in an A-B pattern for a more ambient recording. Simple operation The layout of the DR-40X has been revamped to be quick and easy to work with one thumb. Operations like recording, adjusting levels, deleting bad takes and adding markers are just a button press away. Turning your room into a studio – in a minute. Connecting to a PC using USB Audio interface mode, and DR-40X becomes a tool for voiceover work, live streaming and songwriting with studio-quality audio. Built-in microphones work as USB microphones. Extended battery life DR-40X uses only 3 AA batteries and has ultra-long battery capability. When using built-in microphones, recording lasts 20 hours when recording with standard 2ch WAV, 44.1kHz/ 16bit format using alkaline batteries. Also DR-40X can be powered by a USB mobile battery as well for super long extended use. No need to go through 'take 2' all over again If you don’t like the last part of a phrase you just recorded with your guitar, or if you change your mind and want to rephrase narration, the 'Overwrite mode' is exactly what you need. Overwrite mode allows punch-in recording from a desired point. It is destructive editing with one level of undo Nondestructive Overdubbing The overdubbing function allows for Overdub Recording while playing a previously recorded file. This allows you to record other parts such as a guitar solo over a recording previously made such as at a rehearsal studio. Overdubbing creates a new file, leaving the original file unaffected, making it easy to re-record. 192 Hours This is how long you can record CD-quality sound with single SDXC card. DR-40X support a SDXC card, which can record longer with larger data capacity. If you record one stereo file in 44.1kHz/ 16bit CD quality, 128GB card holds 192 hours maximum. In MP3/ 320kbps, it can record up to 896 hours. (that is 37 days!). ## Features - Up to 11 minutes ready to use with a water tank filling, variable steam of up to 25 g/min, automatic safety shut-off - No ironing board needed, steam lock switch for continuous steaming - Overwrite function for impact recording with an undo level ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07N1KLVNG | | Battery Average Life | 17.5 Hours | | Best Sellers Rank | 16,831 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 23 in Portable Recording Devices | | Brand Name | TASCAM | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,236) | | Digital Recording Time | 17.5 hours | | Format | WAV | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04907034130733 | | Hardware Interface | USB 2.0 | | Headphones Jack | 3.5 millimeters | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 2.8D x 16.5W x 24.6H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Tascam DR-40X Portable 4 Track Audio Recorder and USB Audio Interface | | Item Weight | 123 Grams | | Manufacturer | Tascam | | Manufacturer Part Number | DR-40X | | Memory Storage Capacity | 128 GB | | Microphone Form Factor | Built-In | | Microphone Operation Mode | Stereo | | Model Number | DR-40X | | Number of Batteries | 3 AA batteries required. | | Product Warranty | 12 months. | | Screen Size | 2 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TASCAM - **Compatible devices:** Personal Computer - **Format:** WAV - **Hardware interface:** USB 2.0 - **Headphone jack:** 3.5 millimeters - **Item weight:** 123 Grams - **Memory storage capacity:** 128 GB - **Microphone form factor:** Built-In - **Number of batteries:** 3 AA batteries required. - **Product dimensions:** 2.8D x 16.5W x 24.6H centimetres ## Images ![Tascam DR-40X portable four-track audio recorder and USB interface - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813sJiaUwLL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tascam DR-40X portable four-track audio recorder and USB interface - Aenllosi Hard Case Compatible with Tascam DR-40X Portable Audio Recorder(Case Only) - SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC card, SD Card, V30 Memory Card, 4K UHD, up to 200 MB/s, SanDisk QuickFlow Technology, RescuePro Deluxe Data Recovery Software, UHS-I, Class 10, U3, V30 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/105999025-tascam-dr-40x-portable-four-track-audio-recorder-and-usb](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/105999025-tascam-dr-40x-portable-four-track-audio-recorder-and-usb) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-26*
