Tascam Portacapture X8

The TASCAM Portacapture X8 allows you to record wherever your inspiration takes you. From field recording for sound design, to audio for video production, or multi-track and one take songwriting. The Portacapture X8 combines high-resolution sound quality with intuitive app-like control. 32-bit float point recording means you can capture the most dynamic sound sources without worrying about clipping, or indistinct audio from quiet sources.

NOTE: Only use AK-BT1 adapter. This product not compatible with AK-BT2 adapter.
