Tascam Portacapture X6

Tascam Portacapture X6 Product Details

Description

High-resolution audio recording is easy with Portacapture X6. Intuitive, app-like operation on the large color touchscreen makes recording or post-processing audio much easier. Record with the two built-in microphones or connect your own mics to the two XLR inputs. The recording quality of the Portacapture X6 is your secret advantage. That's because its 96 kHz/32 bit floating point recording technology allows you to record sounds softer or louder than ideal. So you can make sure you don't miss that moment.

Portacapture X6's large color touchscreen gives you quick access to your settings and adjustments. The simple interface and helpful tools guide you to the perfect settings for your needs with just a few taps. The launcher lets you choose between podcast, music, interview, field recording, and true 6-track recording. Get started fast, get it right, and you'll get exactly what you need.
