Outstanding Recorder esp for the Price.,
Review Tascam DR40: This was purchased to go along with my Zoom H4N.
The unit is simply excellent imo and esp for the money looks like it’s a purchase that can not be beaten!
Recording in multiple modes, 4 Tracks, xlr facility and dual recording with one track at a set db below is a priceless function. Self noise is 100% nil in most set ups and absolutely minimal in set ups where there is some self noise.
The ability to select any input level you require is great, most units have selectable input levels, with this unit you can gradually move the input up and down till your just on the level you want.
Cant say enough positive things for this recorder.
Brilliant recording quality: The following Podcast was recorded direct into the DR40 [...] Listen to the first three recordings of Dyslexia Thinking Positive and also the short intro for Mac in Business for the recorders recording sound quality.
The cons are: High handling noise when using internal mics, you WILL need to take this onto account and possibly use a hand grip of some sort as I do…Then handling noise is nil.
As with most all field recorders used outside, the inbuilt mics will pick up wind and breeze across the top of the mic creating noise. You WILL need a Dead Cat or some other form of wind protection for the mics if your planning on using this unit outside, they are very sensitive indeed!
To end it provides faultless recording quality, is easy to use, very clear to view settings and recording levels and has excellent functions others do not have. You will not be disappointed with the purchase…At this price point IMO its simply awesome.

|Rebate Available!,
I love this recorder. Great sound & easy to use. 4 channels & safety recording are a dream. There also is a $15 rebate available at tascam.com on all purchases through 12/31/11. If you were lucky like me & scored one of these during the $149.99 Lightning Deal, it drops the final cost to $134.99!!!

|Even though this model is little bit older, still better than Zoom recorder,
I purchased Tascam and Zoom recorders to try out. Even though Tascam DR-40 is a bit older model than the zoom recorder I bought, the sound quality was better. This recorder is definately a good product.
