Studio-grade audio, anywhere
Premium-grade sound on the move. The DR-05X from Tascam is a stereo handheld digital audio recorder with an integrated USB audio interface. Two internal condenser microphones deliver exceptional audio fidelity, with high-end clarity. They are capable of handling anything up to 125dB SPL, meaning you can record loud sounds without the fear of distortion.
The audio resolution ranges up to 96kHz/24-bit, capturing every nuance of your source audio. You can also record in multiple formats including WAV/BWF linear and MP3 files for longer recordings. A built-in monaural speaker allows you to check your files on the fly, providing a way to reference your recordings after you are done.
Quick and easy to use
The ergonomic layout and simple, intuitive controls make recording a breeze. The revamped design allows you to operate the recorder with the press of a thumb. A quick menu button provides easy access to various important functions.
It comes jam-packed with useful tools to optimise your recordings. Auto recording will detect sound input signals and automatically start recording. This can be great for musicians and podcasters, virtually acting as a self-timer for recording audio on your own.
Ideal for musicians, interviewers, podcasters and video makers
The portable size and studio-grade sound make the DR-05X perfect for a range of applications. From capturing vocal demos and guitar riffs to professional interviews, podcasting and even movie making; the DR-05X can do it all.
Connecting the unit to the PC makes it trigger USB audio interface mode. From here you can use the DR-X as a tool for voiceover work, dictation, livestreaming, song-writing and more. The condenser microphones acts as USB microphones without the need for complicated drivers.
It also features a range of functions optimised for filmmakers. The auto-tone function allows you to easily adjust the settings for one-site movie editing, making it a perfect companion for DSLR filmmaking. An internal slate tone generator produces tones for easy track making. An optional accessory kit (AK-DR11C) is available for connecting the recorder to your DSLR.
Extended battery life – never miss the moment
Two AA batteries are needed to power the DR-05X. But don’t be fooled by the power source, it provides you with an ultra-long battery capacity, ensuring you will never miss the perfect take. Using the built-in microphones (standard 2ch WAV, 44.1kHz/ 16bit format using alkaline batteries), the recorder can last up to 17.5 hours.
It can also be powered via USB mobile battery for super long extended use, or via USB bus power when connected as an audio interface. Additionally, there is an optional AC adapter (not included) for when you need continuous power for long recording sessions.
