Tascam DR-05XP
The Tascam DR-05XP is a versatile portable recorder designed to deliver high-quality sound capture while remaining simple to use. The DR-05XP delivers studio-quality recording thanks to its built-in omnidirectional stereo microphones. It captures sounds with clarity, whether for vocals, instruments or ambience. Record in linear PCM (WAV) up to 96 kHz / 32-bit floating point for maximum dynamics without distortion, or choose MP3 up to 320 kbit/s for lighter, easily shareable files. The DR-05XP incorporates functions such as automatic recording as soon as a sound is detected, saving of the 2 seconds preceding recording (pre-rec), and a limiter and peak reducer to avoid saturation. Overdub mode lets you superimpose a new audio track on an existing recording, ideal for musicians, podcasters or content creators who want to enrich their takes. Compatible with microSD/microSDHC/microSDXC cards up to 512 GB, the DR-05XP guarantees hours of uninterrupted high-definition recording. Use two AA batteries to enjoy up to 17 hours of autonomy, or opt for USB-C power for extended, worry-free sessions. Its backlit LCD display, dedicated buttons and simple navigation make it easy to get to grips with, even for beginners. Take advantage of a 3.5 mm mini-jack headphone jack for real-time monitoring, and a built-in speaker for quick listening to your recordings.
