Tascam X8 Portacapture is a high resolution, portable, multichannel recorder capable of capturing audio at 192kHz/32-Bit floating point to attain the highest level of detail in the recording. Designed for use in field recording, ENG, podcasts, interviews, music recording, and ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian response), X8 can record external microphones, via the four XLR/TRS combination inputs; detachable, dual 14.6mm diameter A-B/X-Y microphone, or a mix of both.

A 3.5inch, colour touchscreen allows the user to navigate menus and adjust settings including the onboard DSP, which includes compressions, limiting, low-cut, noise gate, and automatic gain control, and reverb – to which there are six different room presets. Other functionality including pre-recording, auto-recording, and dual recording modes can be accessed via the on screen menus. In addition to menu functionality, the touchscreen gives clear indication of channel input levels, output levels, file name, and record duration. Whilst the four combination (XLR/Jack) inputs allow the user to input microphones and instruments, including those that require 24/48V phantom power, there is an additional 3.5mm jack input to use as an audio input for an external camera. There is also a camera/line output with attenuation. An inbuilt, mono 0.4W speaker can be used as an alternative to the headphone output for monitoring. The optional AK-BT1 bluetooth adapter allows remote control via Android or iOS device when using the free to download Tascam remote control app.

Portacapture can be powered via USB bus power, optional PS-P520U AC power supply, or 4x AA alkaline/lithium battery cells. Approximate operational time using batteries is up to 11hours for alkaline, or 18hours for lithium. These times are based on using included microphones, phantom power off, and a recording format of WAV at 44.1/24-bit.
