PodTrak P4next

Portable Multitrack Podcast Recorder

PodTrak P4next makes it effortless. Packed with next-generation technology such as AI noise reduction, tone shaping, and built-in voice compression, the P4next delivers polished, broadcast-quality audio from the moment you hit record. Whether you’re in the studio, on the road, or recording with remote guests, it’s your all-in-one tool for professional podcasting right out of the box.

Intelligent Sound and Mixing

AI noise reduction learns and removes hums, buzzes, and street noise for clear, natural speech. Tone-shaping adds polish and warmth with EQ and de-essing, while the built-in compressor smooths sudden shouts, laughter, and whispers. Dedicated mic knobs, mute buttons, and backlit transport controls keep your mix balanced and easy to manage. Voice guidance provides audible menu descriptions, allowing effortless navigation without looking at the screen.

Flexible Inputs and Recording

Power Four XLR inputs deliver up to +70 dB of gain with 48V phantom power on every channel-ready for any mic. Record in 48 kHz / 24-bit resolution directly to a microSD card up to 2TB, or capture a stereo mix and individual tracks for detailed postproduction. Compact design and multiple power options let you record anywhere for up to 3.5 hours on AA batteries or indefinitely via USB or AC power.

Podcasting and Livestream Versatility

Host up to five participants with three local mic inputs and two remote guests connected via USB, Bluetooth, or TRRS smartphone input. Built-in mix-minus removes echo and feedback automatically (Bluetooth requires the BTA-2 adapter). Four headphone outputs with independent volume controls give everyone their own mix. Use the P4next as a USB-C stereo or multitrack interface for streaming or recording on PC, Mac, iOS, or Android.

Creative Tools for Every Format

Cue up intros, music, or effects with four assignable sound pads. Record professional audio for video productions or livestreams without extra gear—just connect your phone and go. Whether capturing a conversation, streaming live, or producing in post, the P4next combines intelligent processing, flexible connectivity, and reliable portability in one complete recording solution.
