Description

The TASCAM DR-05X is a compact, user-friendly handheld recorder that offers professional-level audio recording capabilities in a pocket-sized form. Equipped with built-in omnidirectional stereo microphones, it's ideal for capturing voice, music, meetings, and ambient sounds with impressive clarity. Whether you're a musician, podcaster, content creator, or journalist, the DR-05X delivers clean, high-resolution audio (up to 96kHz/24-bit) and handles sound pressure levels up to 125dB, making it versatile for anything from quiet interviews to live concerts.

What sets the DR-05X apart is its dual functionality: not only does it record to microSD cards, but it also operates as a 2-in/2-out USB audio interface for your computer or iOS device. This makes it perfect for voiceover work, streaming, and remote podcasting. Features like overwrite and overdub recording, auto recording, peak reduction, and EQ presets streamline both capturing and editing tasks. With long battery life, intuitive one-touch controls, and language support in ten languages, the DR-05X is a reliable tool for on-the-go audio recording.
