8x2 Digital Audio Recorder & USB Interface - PORTACAPTURE X8

Right after start, the large colour touch screen of the Portacapture X8 shows the Launcher which lets you easily select the best audio settings that match your application. Taking advantage of these presets you have more time to focus on the actual recording without having to struggle with complicated settings. Should you, however, prefer to set everything yourself, the Manual app offers you all the possibilities to do so – including a Recording Guide that leads you through the required settings. The Portacapture X8 provides a preset level setting to achieve a wide dynamic range utilising premium dual A/D converters and recording technology. It streams up to 8x tracks through USB connection. The unit comes with 2x high quality condenser microphones employing a detachable mechanism. Both mics can be flexibly attached to and detached from the main unit to form A-B or X-Y mic patterns. The Portacapture X8 can be remotely controlled via mobile devices (iPad/Android) using the optional AK-BT1 Bluetooth adaptor and the Portacapture Control app.
