The Portacapture X8 combines high-resolution sound with app-like touch control. 32-bit float recording with dual A\/D converters captures the loudest sources without clipping and quiet sources with detail, so a take is never lost to a wrong level. The detachable 14.6 mm condenser mics, the largest in TASCAM's lineup, form A-B or true X-Y patterns, and four locking XLR\/TRS inputs with TASCAM HDDA mic preamps and individual phantom power take external mics and line sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;margin:6px 0

with dual A\/D converters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eAt lower bit depths a loud source can clip digitally, and that cannot be repaired in editing. A 32-bit float recording can simply be lowered to the right level afterwards with no trace of clipping or limiting, and the dual A\/D converters capture greater dynamic range and detail, so a mumbled phrase can be raised without a distracting change in tone. Record WAV at 44.1, 48, 96 or 192 kHz in 16-bit, 24-bit or 32-bit float, or MP3, and add a second file in MP3 or 32-bit float with dual recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eRecording apps for every situation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe Launcher puts optimised settings at your fingertips. MANUAL records up to six channels with a Recording Guide that leads you through input levels, the mix and recording; POCKETSTUDIO adds auto punch, a metronome and a tuner for multitrack music; PODCAST serves up to four people; MUSIC, VOICE and FIELD capture performances, interviews and outdoor sound; ASMR turns the screen into a visual effect that responds to sound. Up to three user settings can be saved as one-tap Launcher icons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eDetachable stereo mics and four XLR\/TRS inputs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe included mics attach in an X-Y pattern for a clear stereo image with reduced phase difference, or an A-B pattern for a wide stereo field. Input jacks 1\/2 also accept lavalier and other mics that use plug-in power. Inputs 3-6 are locking XLR\/TRS combo jacks with TASCAM HDDA mic preamps, a MIC or LINE setting and phantom power per input, and INPUT SELECT assigns any pair of inputs to any pair of tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eUSB audio interface with no driver needed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eConnect a computer or smartphone over USB Type-C and the X8 becomes an 8-in \/ 2-out audio interface: the stereo mix and every input pair go to the computer, and you can still record to the microSD card as a backup. Use the built-in mics as a USB mic for calls and streaming, mix computer sound with the mics for live streaming (loopback), and use USB mix-minus in the PODCAST app for echo-free remote guests. 32-bit float over USB is supported up to 96 kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eBuilt for video production\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe CAMERA\/EXT input monitors camera audio or takes a wireless mic receiver, and the CAMERA\/LINE output sends sound to a camera with an attenuation of -20 to -30 dB. Automatic slate tones and marks speed up editing, and with the optional AK-BT1 Bluetooth adapter the X8 can receive timecode wirelessly from supported devices and be controlled from the free Portacapture Control app on iOS or Android. A cold shoe and a 1\/4-inch tripod thread make mounting easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 14px;padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eTASCAM Portacapture X8 recorder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eIncluded mics (left \/ right pair)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eAA alkaline batteries (x 4)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eOwner's Manual (including warranty)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eTASCAM ID registration guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 14px;padding:10px 14px;background:#F5F7F9;border-left:3px solid #006D77;font-size:14px;color:#1A1A2A;\"\u003eA microSD, microSDHC or microSDXC card (Class 10 or higher, up to 512 GB) and a USB data cable are needed and sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eTASCAM Portacapture X8: frequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"font-size:15px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;margin:18px 0 6px;\"\u003eDo I need to set recording levels with 32-bit float?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003e32-bit float recording with dual A\/D converters means you do not have to set levels perfectly before recording; a take recorded too loud or too quiet can be adjusted later in editing without clipping. The EXT IN jack does not use dual A\/D, so set its gain carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"font-size:15px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;margin:18px 0 6px;\"\u003eCan I use it as an audio interface and record at the same time?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eYes.
