Tascam DR-05X 2-Input / 2-Track Portable Audio Recorder

OVERVIEW

The Tascam DR-05X set the standard for stereo handheld recorders with its powerful features, simple interface and excellent sound quality. It is the first choice for recording meeting, music, audio for videos, dictation and more.

Record Clean and Clear Audio Anywhere

The Tascam DR-05X allows high-quality recording utilizing an user friendly interface while being portable and powerful. Dual internal condenser microphones can handle anything from subtle to loud with a 125dB SPL, with sensitivity to capture every detail.

Simple to Operate

The layout of the DR-05X has been revamped to be quick and easy to work with one thumb. Operations like recording, adjusting levels, deleting bad takes and adding markers are just a button press away. DR-05X uses only two AA Batteries and has ultra-long battery capability. When using built-in microphones, recording lasts 17.5 hours when recording with standard 2ch WAV, 44.1kHz/16bit format using alkaline batteries. Also DR-05X can be powered by a USB mobile battery as well for super long extended use.

Turn your Room into a Studio

Connect to a PC using USB Audio Interface Mode, and DR-X becomes a tool for voiceover work, live streaming, podcasting and songwriting with studio-quality audio. Plus the built-in microphones work as USB microphones without complicated driver installs.

Upgrade your Videos

The Auto Tone function provides easy-adjustments for on-site movie editing, ideal for filmmaking. The internal slate tone generator produces various tones for easy track making and recognition. Please use the dedicated accessory kit (AK-DR11C) for connecting.

Back up your Transcriptions

Writing down what you hear is sometimes easier said than done, but it is actually easier with the DR-X. In addition to its capability to capture crisp voice recording, DR-X can help you with its Jump Back Function, Variable Speed Function and Equalizer Preset for human voices.

Never Miss the Timing

Auto Recording can detect the sound input signal level and automatically start recording. Also, the pre-recording function allows for up to 2 seconds of pre-recording which provides a fail-safe protection even when you are a bit late to hit the record function.

Too Loud?

Peak Reduction works in rehearsal mode or in recording mode. Even if the sound or performance is louder than the sound check you're safe. Combined with Auto Level and Limiter for preventing distortion, you will never have to worry about over-peaked audio.

No Need for Take 2s

If you don't like the last part of a phrase you just recorded or if you change your mind and want to rephrase narration, the Overwrite Mode is perfect for you. Overwrite Mode allows punch-in recording from a desired point. It is destructive editing with one level of undo.

The Overdubbing Function allows for overdub recording while playing a previously recorded file. This allows you to record other parts over a previously recorded file - Overdubbing creates a new file, leaving the original file unaffected, making it easy to re-record.
