Tascam DR-05 Portable Digital Recorder (V2)

The TASCAM DR-05 is a high-quality stereo recording powerhouse that is easy to use and portable, making it accessible to anyone. Designed to capture exceptional recordings, the DR-05 records in MP3 or WAV format, including 96kHz/24-bit high-resolution audio, onto microSD or microSDHC media.

The device features a pair of newly developed microphones that can handle up to 125dB SPL, ensuring they have the sensitivity to capture every nuance of a performance. Users can also connect their own microphone or line-level source through the 1/8" stereo input, which includes plug-in power for microphones that require it.

The DR-05's user interface has been revamped, making it quick and easy to operate with one thumb. Functions like recording, adjusting levels, deleting takes, and adding markers are just a button press away. More advanced features, such as limiting, low-cut filtering, a built-in chromatic tuner, and Variable Speed Audition (for looping and slowing down music without changing the pitch), are also available.

The DR-05 offers a variety of playback modes, including a Level Align function that smooths out any sudden volume jumps during playback, and a built-in speaker for monitoring recordings without headphones. With up to 17 1/2 hours of battery life from two AA batteries, the recorder can capture CD-quality recordings with ease.

The built-in omnidirectional condenser microphones are tailored for natural ambient recording, providing rich bass response and lower handling noise than many handheld recorders. They capture a wide, natural frequency range suitable for any type of voice, nature, or musical recording.

For added convenience, the DR-05 includes a chromatic tuner and a tripod stand mount. A stereo peak limiter prevents unexpected loud sounds from distorting the recording, and an Auto Level setting automatically adjusts the level based on the sound in the room. A low-cut filter is also available to remove rumble or wind noise when recording outdoors.

The TASCAM DR-05 is the perfect solution for musicians, recordists, and anyone who needs high-quality, portable stereo recording capabilities. With its easy-to-use interface, premium sound quality, and versatile features, the DR-05 puts professional-grade recording in the palm of your hand.
