The Tascam DP-008EX is an 8 track digital pocketstudio. The perfect "Music Sketch Pad" with built-in microphones for multi-track recording anytime, anywhere.

Description

Song ideas can happen anywhere and with the DP-008EX you're ready. Jot down all of the key components to your songs using these professional sounding multi-track recorders. Be ready wherever creativity strikes. For elongated battery life these models can connect directly to TASCAM's external battery pack (BP-6AA) via USB.

The DP-008EX is built with two condenser microphones directly in the front of the units. Record vocals or acoustic guitar anytime without the need for extra equipment or set-up time. TASCAM held many evaluation tests to secure the best sounding microphones and structures. Modeled after the top-selling DR series microphones, you can be assured you're receiving top-quality.

The DP-008EX features ultra light-weight designs to ensure portability. The DP-008EX is 1.34 lbs (Without AA batteries).

The DP-008EX is optimally designed for on-the-spot recording. No unnecessary features included that might complicate the recording to ensure easy functionality. Designed with Analog functionality and dedicated control knobs this POCKETSTUDIO is the simplest to use songwriting scratchpads on the market.

The DP-008EX have two input terminals by phone-jack, these terminals provide to connect an external microphone, an electric-acoustic guitar and a line-level device like a synthesizer. If you prepare any conversion cable, a tablet device like a iPad will be able to connect.
