32-Bit Float Field Recorder for Podcasters, Videographers, and Musicians

The Tascam Portacapture X8 is a portable 8-track recorder built to capture studio-grade audio wherever inspiration strikes. At its core, 32-bit float recording paired with dual A/D converters delivers an enormous dynamic range, allowing both loud shouts and the faintest whispers to be recovered cleanly in post. Thanks to a 3.5-inch touchscreen and an app-style Launcher, users can quickly access presets for podcasting, music, voice, field, ASMR, or manual multitrack work.

What Sets This Recorder Apart in Its Class

Two detachable 14.6 mm condenser microphones — the largest in TASCAM's handheld lineup — easily swap between A-B for wide stereo and X-Y for phase-coherent mono. XLR/TRS inputs run through TASCAM's HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) preamps, achieving an equivalent input noise of -126 dBu or less and a dynamic range of at least 113 dB. Integration into multi-camera video workflows is streamlined by wireless timecode sync with Atomos devices, via the optional AK-BT1 Bluetooth adapter.
