Tascam Portacapture X6

State-of-the-Art Recording Technology Yet Easy to Use!

High-resolution audio recordings are a breeze with the Portacapture X6. The intuitive, app-like operation on the large color touchscreen makes recording or editing audio material much easier. Record with the two built-in microphones or connect your own mics to the two XLR inputs. The recording quality of the Portacapture X6 is your secret weapon. Its 96 kHz/32-bit floating point recording technology lets you capture sounds quieter or louder than ideal. This ensures you never miss that one moment.

Six Different Recording Apps to Choose From

• MANUAL: This is the main app for multitrack recording with up to six audio sources and a stereo mix (2-mix).

• MUSIC: Choose this app for recording instrumental and vocal pieces.
• FIELD: Perfect for recording natural sounds outdoors.
• ASMR: Generates a visual effect on the display in response to the input signal.

App-Like Operation

Through the large color touchscreen of the Portacapture X6, you quickly access your settings and adjustments. The simple user interface and helpful tools guide you with just a few taps to the perfect settings for your needs. Use the launcher to switch between podcast, music, interview, outdoor recording, and true 6-track recording. Start quickly, do it right, and get exactly what you need.

High-Quality Sound for Film Recordings

When shooting video, you want to focus on your video production without worrying about your audio. The Portacapture X6 was designed with video production in mind. The workflow, presets, and user settings save you countless steps. With its 32-bit float recording technology and 96 kHz sampling rate, the X6 has your back. This means not only top sound quality but also a dynamic range that helps you handle less-than-ideal conditions often encountered on set.

The X6 even offers timecode synchronization via Bluetooth® (with the optional AK-BT1). This lets you sync your audio recording with the video signal, even if your camera doesn’t record sound. With your own Portacapture X6, you boost your sound quality and reduce your worries.

Record the Way You Like

The Portacapture X6 is ready to record with just a few quick adjustments. The built-in high-quality stereo microphones can be switched from A-B to X-Y orientation in no time, so spatial music recordings work just as well as voice recordings. Got your own microphones? Use them with the built-in XLR inputs, which also handle line-level sources.

The microphone preamps use Tascam HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture). Based on over 50 years of expertise, they deliver an extremely low-noise, clean, and transparent sound experience.

Record six tracks (four individual tracks plus stereo mix) simultaneously and even use the X6 as a USB audio interface with six inputs and two outputs for your computer.

Capture Every Detail

It would be great if every audio recording was always perfect. Not too loud, not too quiet. Of course, that’s not reality for most of us. Sometimes a voice or sound is very quiet, sometimes it’s roaringly loud. Even with these extremes, people expect you to deliver a clean, successful recording.

The Portacapture X6’s 32-bit floating point recording technology offers a much lower noise floor and a higher ceiling for audio levels. The result: your recording captures everything, from the faintest rustle to the loudest spectacle.

Control the Recorder via 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 perfect for you. With the Bluetooth® adapter AK-BT1 (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 Files Anywhere

With the Portacapture X6, your recordings are quickly ready to share. The built-in signal processing with compressor, limiter, high-pass filter, EQ, and reverb adds the final polish like in a professional studio.

You can tame wind noise during outdoor recordings or add reverb to give your vocals more atmosphere. From smoothing the input signal to avoiding extreme peaks or eliminating plosives in dialogues – with the X6, you’re well equipped.
