Tascam DR-40X håndholdt stereo optager
DR-40X er en alsidig fire-spors lydoptager til musik, podcasting, film og alle andre projekter, der kræver lyd af høj kvalitet. Baseret på den meget succesfulde Tascam DR-40, tilføjer denne nye model flere nye funktioner til det allerede omfattende funktionssæt.
Et par cardioide kondensatormikrofoner håndterer selv høje lydtryks-niveauer og kan indstilles i AB eller XY retning til et bredt stereofelt eller ekstra klar gengivelse med reduceret faseforskydning mellem begge kanaler. Brugere kan også bruge deres egen mikrofon eller line-level kilde via dual Neutrik XLR / TRS combo jacks, der understøtter både mic niveau og +4 dBu linjeniveau fra mixere eller FOH konsollen.
Mikrofon preamps omfatter 48 volt phantom power og masser af gain for at fange alt fra hvisken til høje lyde.
Ved hjælp af indbyggede stereo-mikrofoner kan du indspille omgivende lyd fra publikum, mens du optager direkte fra en ekstern konsol, hvilket er ideelt til live forestillinger. Som sin forgænger tilbyder DR-40X også optagelse på to niveauer, en funktion, der hjælper med at undgå forvrængning ved at lave en anden optagelsesfil, oprettet med en lavere indstilling.
Designet på DR-40X er blevet opdateret for at være hurtig og nem at arbejde med. Funktioner som optagelse, justering af niveauer, sletning af optagelser og tilføjelse af markører er blot et tryk på knap. Menuer er tilgængelige på engelsk, spansk, portugisisk, fransk, italiensk, tysk, russisk, kinesisk, koreansk, japansk. Tre forskellige automatiske niveau-indstillinger (Limiter, Peak Reduction, Auto Level) kan bidrage til at forhindre utilsigtetforvrængning under optagelse. Du kan anvende en ud af seks rumklangseffekter til indgangseller udgangssignalet, og en Overdub-funktion tillader stemmer eller instrumenter at blive tilføjet til eksisterende lydfiler. Der er også en Level Align-funktion, der gør det muligt at udjævne eventuelle pludselige udsving i volume under afspilning, og der er indbygget en indbygget højttaler til hurtig tilbagekald (check-back).
Andre funktioner som variabel audition med lav hastighed, lavfiltrering, kromatisk tuner og mere kan vælges fra menuen. Den nye dikta-tilstand gør det muligt at springe frem og tilbage i forudvalgte trin, mens du afspiller en fil. Det kan kombineres med hastighedsstyring og en speciel diktat EQ, der gør det nyttigt at transkribere minut-optagelser, som for eksempel den nye ”tape”-stil; Overwrite-tilstand – med et niveau af fortrydelse – giver brugeren mulighed for at vælge en indløbstid og erstatte en del af en eksisterende optagelse.
Bortset fra håndholdt optagelse kan DR-40X også bruges som USB audio-interface med to indgange og udgange, hvilket gør det til et stærkt, men nemt værktøj til voiceover, live streaming, podcasting og songwriting med lyd i studie-kvalitet.
