The TASCAM Portacapture X8 is much more than an advanced portable recording device. Record your music wherever your inspiration takes you, capture field recordings for sound design, never miss a moment of audio for video production, the Portacapture X8 combines high-resolution sound quality with intuitive app-like control that makes it fast and easy to set up for recording. Advanced 32-bit floating point recording means you can capture the most dynamic sound sources without worrying about clipping from loud sources, or indistinct audio from quiet sources. Powerful onboard DSP allows you to optimize your recordings right from the Portacapture X8, eliminating the need to transfer to your computer for basic tweaks such as EQ, noise filtering, and normalization. Complete with adjustable stereo condenser microphones, an array of input options, and flexible mounting options, the TASCAM Portacapture X8 is a smart solution for any professional recordist.


Whether you're recording from the onboard stereo microphones, external microphones, instruments, or line-level sources, the Portacapture X8's 32-bit float recording capability means you'll never have to scrap a recording due to incorrect audio levels. When recording at lower bit depths, loud sound sources can cause digital clipping that cannot be fixed during editing. With a 32-bit floating point recording, you can reduce the file's level in your DAW or NLE software to an appropriate level with no trace of digital clipping or limiting. Likewise, low-level 32-bit float audio recordings are captured with greater dynamic range and detail than they would at lower bit depths — you can increase the level of a mumbled phrase without creating a distracting change in tone or dynamics.
