Professional Deal for live capture: line level inputDual Neutrik XLR/TRS combo jacks support both mic-level with 48V phantom power and +4dBu line-level. 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 engineDR-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 operationThe 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 lifeDR-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 againIf 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 OverdubbingThe 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 HoursThis 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!). |
