New generation high definition PCM audio recorder

High definition handheld multitrack recorder

Description

State-of-the-art recording technology and yet easy to use! High-resolution audio recording is easy with the Portacapture X6 . The intuitive, app-like operation on the large color touchscreen makes recording or post-processing of sound material much easier. Record with the two built-in microphones or connect your own to the two XLR inputs. The Portacapture X6 's recording quality is your secret advantage. Because its 96 kHz/32-bit floating point recording technology allows you to record sounds softer or louder than ideal. This will ensure you don't miss this moment. Six different recording apps to choose from MANUAL This is the main app for multi-track recording with up to six audio sources and a stereo mix (2-Mix). VOICE This recording app is ideal for recording interviews, dictations and meetings. PODCAST Use this app to create podcasts with up to four people. MUSIC Choose this app for recording instrumental and vocal tracks. FELD Ideal for capturing nature sounds outdoors. ASMR Creates a visual effect on the display in response to the input signal. App-like operation The Portacapture X6 's large color touchscreen gives you quick access to your settings and adjustments. The simple interface and helpful tools guide you to the perfect settings for your needs with just a few taps. Via the launcher you can choose between podcast, music, interview, field recording and real 6-track recording. Get started fast, do it right, and you'll get exactly what you need. Quality audio for filming When you're shooting a video, you want to focus on your video production and not worry about your audio. Video production was also considered when developing the Portacapture X6 . The workflow, the presets and the user settings save you countless work steps. With its 32-bit float recording technology and a sampling rate of 96 kHz, the X6 has your back. This means not only the highest sound quality, but also a dynamic range that allows you to master the less than ideal conditions that often exist on a shoot. The X6 even offers you timecode synchronization* via Bluetooth (with the optional AK-BT1). This way you can synchronize your audio recording with the image signal, even if your camera does not provide any sound. With your own Portacapture X6 , you can increase your sound quality and reduce your worries at the same time. Record how you like The Portacapture X6 is ready to record with a few quick movements. The built-in high-quality stereo microphones can be switched from AB to XY orientation in no time at all, so that spatial music recordings are just as good as voice recordings. Do you have your own microphones? Use them on the built-in XLR inputs, which can also handle line-level sources. Tascam HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) are used for the microphone preamps. Based on more than 50 years of know-how, they offer an extremely low-noise and clean, transparent sound experience. Record six tracks simultaneously (four individual tracks plus a stereo mix) and even use the X6 as a six-input, two-out USB audio interface for your computer. Capturing every detail It would be nice if everything was always perfect in an audio recording. Not too loud, not too quiet. Of course, that's not the reality for most of us. Sometimes a voice or a noise is very quiet, sometimes it is roaring loud. Even at these extremes, you're expected to get the shot right and deliver a clean result. The Portacapture X6 's 32-bit floating point recording technology offers a much lower lower bound and a higher upper bound on the level of the audio material. The result: your recording captures everything from the faintest rustle to the loudest spectacle. Control the recorder from your phone (with optional Bluetooth adapter) If you want to set up your audio recorder in one place and operate it from another, the X6 is for you. With the AK-BT1 Bluetooth adapter (sold separately) and the free Portacapture Control app, you can easily control your X6 wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet. Imagine the possibilities! Publish-ready audio anywhere With the Portacapture X6 , your audio recordings are quickly ready for sharing. The integrated signal processing with compressor, limiter, high-pass filter, EQ and reverb effect provides the finishing touches just like in the recording studio. You can tame the wind for outdoor recordings or add atmosphere to your vocals with a reverb. From smoothing the input signal to avoiding extreme peaks or eliminating plosives in dialogue - the X6 has you covered.
