Description

Professional Audio Recording From The Palm Of Your Hand – Tascam DR-05XP.

The Tascam DR-05XP portable recorder delivers professional-level audio quality in a compact handheld unit. Ideal for musicians, podcasters, videographers, journalists, and field recordists, it combines high-resolution recording, easy operation, and versatile functionality in a single device. Integrated stereo condenser microphones capture rich, clear recordings, while the 32-bit float recording mode ensures distortion-free audio, removing the need for complex input level adjustments.

Compact yet powerful, the DR-05XP doubles as a 2-in/2-out USB-C audio interface, enabling recording directly to a Mac or PC. Its lightweight design, backlit LCD, and tripod/mic-stand mountability make it suitable for studio, stage, or on-location use.

Seamless Control And Versatility

Navigate features quickly with the backlit display and intuitive one-handed operation. The DR-05XP offers automatic level control, overdub, pre-recording, and punch-in capabilities. Use the low-cut filter to reduce unwanted noise, select from WAV, MP3, or 32-bit float formats, and apply built-in reverb effects for music applications.

Built For Any Environment

Omnidirectional stereo mics handle high sound pressure levels without distortion, while a stereo mini-jack input allows external microphones or line sources. The built-in speaker provides instant monitoring, and the DR-05XP supports Auto Recording to capture sound automatically when detected. Whether capturing live music, interviews, or location sound, this recorder delivers reliable performance.

Portability And Power

Powered by 2 AA batteries, USB bus power, or an optional AC adapter, the DR-05XP provides up to 17½ hours of recording time. Lightweight and compact, it is ready for field recording, vlogs, podcasts, or music practice. Included tripod compatibility and protective casing make setup and transport simple.
