Tascam DP008 Portable Multitrack Recorder
The Tascam DP-008 is an 8-track Digital Portastudio small enough to fit into a guitar case. Based on the popular DP-004, the DP-008 adds four more tracks for a total of eight tracks with built-in mixing. Users can record two tracks at the same time while dedicated knobs for volume, pan, and reverb make tracking and mixing simple. A 2GB SD card is included with the unit.
The Tascam DP008 has two balanced XLR microphone inputs with switchable phantom power and two unbalanced line inputs (one switchable to guitar level). And there are even two built-in mics so users are ready to record anything just by sitting in front of it. Tracks are mixed down to a dedicated stereo track and EQ is available on both inputs as well as on each track. Whether recording a song demo, radio play or live concert, the DP-008 captures inspiration without technology getting in the way of your music.
