Tascam DP-006 – 6-Track Portable Digital Pocketstudio Recorder

Product Overview

The TASCAM DP-006 is a 6-track portable digital Pocketstudio recorder designed for on-the-go songwriting, song idea capture, and compact home demo recording. Two built-in omnidirectional condenser microphones plus two 1/4-inch TS line/instrument inputs (Input A with Hi-Z guitar support) enable flexible source capture. It records to SD/SDHC media up to 32GB and runs on 4 AA batteries for entirely cable-free use anywhere.

Product Description

The DP-006 records 6 simultaneous tracks — 2 mono + 2 mono/stereo — for layered song construction and demo recording without a computer. Individual level and pan controls per track allow basic mix shaping directly on the unit. A bounce function enables recording beyond 6 tracks by mixing existing tracks to a single track, freeing up tracks for additional overdubs. Undo/redo with history provides non-destructive editing for rehearsal and arrangement work. A chromatic tuner and metronome are built in for self-contained practice and recording sessions. WAV file import and export enables integration with DAW workflows after recording. USB 2.0 high-speed transfer moves files to a computer quickly. The optional BP-6AA external battery pack extends operating time for extended field sessions. Available at Creation Networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the DP-006 record electric guitar directly?

Yes. Input A is switchable to high-impedance (Hi-Z) for direct guitar and bass recording without a DI box or amp.

How does the bounce function extend the track count?

The bounce function mixes the current tracks down to a single stereo or mono track, freeing the original tracks for new overdubs. This allows layering more than 6 parts in a single song.

What warranty applies to the DP-006?

TASCAM products purchased through authorized dealers including Creation Networks carry TASCAM's standard limited warranty.
