Tascam Portacapture X6 32bit-Float Portable Audio Recorder
Never miss a moment. Capture audio anywhere with the Tascam Portacapture X6. The intuitive app-like operations on its large colour screen make it easy to record. Above all, record using the X6’s dual built-in microphones or plug in your own mics to its 2 XLR inputs.
The recording quality on the Portacapture X6 will be your secret weapon. In fact, its 96 kHz/32-bit float recording technology means that you can capture audio softer or louder than ideal.
App-Like Operation
Quickly access your settings and adjustments on the Portacapture X6’s large (2.4-inch) colour touchscreen. With the easy-to-navigate interface and helpful tools, you are just a few taps from the perfect setting for your needs. Specifically, use the Launcher to select from podcast, music, interviews, field recording and 6-track multi-track recording. Start fast, start right and get exactly what you need.
Audio For Video Production
You want to be able to focus on your video production and not worry about your audio. In fact, the Tascam Portacapture X6 was built with video production in mind. The workflow, presets and user-saved settings save you countless steps. The X6 has your back with its 96 kHz/32-bit float recording technology.
Not only does this mean you will have the highest quality audio, but you will have a dynamic range that allows you to overcome those less-than-ideal realities that can often occur on a shoot.
The X6 even gives you a time-code sync option* via Bluetooth® (with optional AK-BT1) allowing you to align your audio with your video, even when you have no audio on your camera. Upgrade your audio and reduce your worries with your own Portacapture X6.
Capture Your Way
The Portacapture X6 is ready to record with a few quick taps. Additionally, the internal high-quality stereo microphones can instantly rotate from A-B to a true X-Y mic pattern to allow for dialogue or spatial music recording.
Have your own mics? Use those thanks to the two included XLR inputs or line-level inputs. The mic preamplifiers are TASCAM HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) – providing ultra-low noise and clean transparent audio based on over 50 years of TASCAM know-how.
Record 6 tracks (4 tracks + 2 mix) simultaneously. Otherwise, use the X6 as your 6-in/2-out USB audio interface to connect to your computer.
Capture Every Bit with Portacapture X6
It would be great if every time you need to capture audio, everything is perfect. Not too loud, not too soft. Of course that is not the reality for most of us. Sometimes the voice or sound that you need to capture will be really soft and in other cases it is blasting. Even in these extremes, you are expected to capture the sound and deliver well-finished audio.
The 32-bit float point recording technology in the Portacapture X6 gives you a much lower floor and higher ceiling to achieve audio success. You could use another audio recorder and hope not to need this best-in-class recording technology, but should you?
Control The X6 From Your Phone
In those cases where you want to put your audio recorder in one place and operate it from another, the X6 has you covered. With the AK-BT1 Bluetooth® adapter (sold separately) and free Portacapture Control app, it’s easy to remote control your X6 wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet. Imagine the possibilities!
Ready-To-Publish Audio Anywhere
With the Portacapture X6’s your audio will be ready to share. Built-in signal processing, including a compressor, limiter, high pass filter, EQ, and reverb, add that studio polish. Whether you need to tame the wind when recording outside or want to add the ambience of reverb to your vocals, the X6 has you covered.
Above all, from smoothing out your input to preventing extreme peaks or eliminating plosives in dialogue, you can count on the Portacapture X6.
Your Virtual Audio Engineer
Getting your settings just right for your recording goals can be overwhelming, but not on the Portacapture X6. Select from the pre-perfected settings like Voice, Podcast, Music Recording, ASMR, and Field Recording. Just select the one that applies and start to record.
