Review: Excellent 6 Channel (not 8) capture device - Overall, I am quite happy with this device, no problems Six Channels: this will record only six (6) input feeds, not 8 that they imply. Yes, along with the 6 it records a mix-down of the 6 to stereo, however I don't care about this and don't see why anyone would because you take the tracks, dump them into Audacity, and mix to stereo there when you can tweak and adjust correctly. There are ONLY 6 inputs to this device, and calling it X8 is a bit deceptive. I have seen magazine articles claiming that this will work as an 8 channel A-to-D converter, but that is wrong, there are only 6 channels of input. I knew it was only 6 inputs when I bought it, so no problem. Simple to Use: Every single time it records all channels, and I consider that a feature. Sometimes those channels are empty if there was no input, and so later I have to delete them, but the advantage is that you never forget to enable the recording of a channel. Mixer and volume settings were obvious to use. Attached mics did a great job. I set it up in the practice room using attached mics, and then additionally fed the vocal mic signal and some instruments, and the result (after mixing) was great enough for demo tracks. Batteries did die in the middle of one session, so you have to watch out for that, but that was after 5 or 6 hours of recording. For a serious recording you want to plug it in to USB power. Was disappointed that the blue tooth functionality required an additional $50 device, however I bought that so I can control it from the stage.

It's like being a mad scientist, but instead of concocting potions, you're crafting sonic symphonies. Now, let's get technical. The Portacapture X8 boasts eight XLR/TRS combo inputs, which is basically the audiophile's version of having eight different flavors of ice cream at your disposal. It's a buffet of sound possibilities! The preamps are so clean, they make a hospital operating room look dusty.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I monitor (headphones) a previously recorded track while recording another track**
A: No. The record & playback are two separate functions.

**Q: Would you need or use a fethead phantom with a sennheiser mkh 50 mic using the tascam x8?**
A: Wow that is it with the Sennheiser mkh 50 mic? So long as the MKH 50 will accept either a 24V or 48V phantom power source, the Tascam X8 will power it. I use a Rode NT1 condenser mic and the X8 has no problem powering it.

**Q: Can i use lithium (li-ion) rechargeable batteries such as ebl brand on amazon?**
A: I use PaleBlue rechargeables with no issue. Good luck!

**Q: CAN i run both phantom mic and ¼' line-level at same time?**
A: Yes you can. You can plug your mic that requires phantom power into one of the XLR jacks and you can plug your 1/4" line into a different XLR jack. The XLR jacks accept both male XLR and 1/4" inputs. You can also plug in 3.5 mm jacks if needed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice recording quality - UI not intuitive (for me)
*by J***H on April 11, 2025*

This unit records guitar very nicely, with clear sound all the way down to low E and very low noise. Sound quality is at least an order of magnitude better than sound recorded from a costly Sony video cam. The user interface is OK once you get familiar with it, but there are many options and finding them in the various menu screens requires a learning curve, and it's easy to forget where to find what you want (e.g., enabling/disabling the phantom power). Better user instructions would help, and revising them would be less costly than revising the software. The touch screen has good color and resolution, and the touch function works pretty well. Overall, I'm very pleased with the purchase, and I salute the engineering team that developed the hardware.
