Audio for Video Production

When shooting a video, you want to be able to focus on your video production and not worry about your audio. The Portacapture X6 was built with video production in mind. The workflow, presets and user-saved settings save you countless steps. The X6 has your back with its 96 kHz/32-bit float recording technology. Not only does this mean you will have the highest quality audio, but you will have a dynamic range that allows you to overcome those less-than-ideal realities that can often occur on a shoot. The X6 even gives you a time-code sync option* via Bluetooth® (with optional AK-BT1) allowing you to align your audio with your video, even when you have no audio on your camera. Upgrade your audio and reduce your worries with your own Portacapture X6.

*Support from firmware V1.10

 

Capture Your Way

The Portacapture X6 is ready to record with a few quick taps. The internal high-quality stereo microphones can instantly rotate from A-B to a true X-Y mic pattern to allow for dialog or spatial music recording.

Have your own mics? Use those thanks to the two included XLR inputs or line level inputs. The mic preamplifiers are TASCAM HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) - providing ultra-low noise and clean transparent audio based on over 50 years of TASCAM know-how.

Record 6 tracks (4 track + 2 mix) simultaneously and even use the X6 as your 6-in/2-out USB audio interface to connect to your computer

 

Dual ADCs and 32-bit Float Recording for Fast Setup and Worry-free Recording

Dual analog-to-digital converters combined with 32-bit float recording insure the easiest and highest quality recording in its price class. The 32-bit float point recording technology in the Portacapture X6 gives you a much lower floor and higher ceiling including maximum dynamic range to achieve audio success. You could use another audio recorder without this best-in-class recording 32-bit float and dual ADC technology, but should you?


Control the X6 From Your Phone

In those cases where you want to put your audio recorder in one place and operate it from another, the X6 has you covered. With the AK-BT1 Bluetooth® adapter (sold separately) and free Portacapture Control app, it's easy to remote control your X6 wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet. Imagine the possibilities!

With the Portacapture X6's your audio will be ready to share. Built-in signal processing, including a compressor, limiter, high pass filter, EQ, and reverb, add that studio polish. Whether you need to tame the wind when recording outside or want to add the ambiance of reverb to your vocals, the X6 has you covered. From smoothing out your input to preventing extreme peaks or eliminating plosives in dialog, you can count on the Portacapture X6.

 

Your Virtual Audio Engineer

The TASCAM proprietary Auto File Save System avoids losing your important data during recording. Files are saved approximately every 20 seconds during recording, so data loss due to unexpected power supply interruptions are kept to a minimum.
