Overview
For speech, sound effects, and live music recording applications, the TASCAM DR-05XP portable handheld recorder is capable of capturing two tracks of audio at 32-bit float high-resolution with no external microphones required. Its onboard omnidirectional condenser mics are fixed in an A-B arrangement for spacious stereo imaging of your source. Equally adept as a handheld device, stand-mounted, or camera-mounted setups, the DR-05XP can handle anything from sampling sessions and recitals to interviews and podcasts.
Flexible powering methods like batteries, USB bus power, or an AC adapter, make the DR-05XP well suited for on-the-go recording, all-day video shoots, and computer-based audio production. Need to patch in a lavalier mic or an outboard mixer? The DR-05XP's 3.5mm mini-jack input accommodates mic- or line-level signals and can supply plug-in power if needed. Whether you use the built-in mics or an external source, selectable modes such as peak reduction, limiting, and auto level give you options for achieving clean and undistorted recordings.
