Tascam DR05 Digital Audio Recorder

Digtial recorder with 2GB microSD card included, microSDHC compatability & USB conectivity

Tascam's DR-05 recorder brings high-quality stereo recording to an easy-to-use portable powerhouse with a size and price that anyone can handle. The DR-05 records in MP3 or WAV format, including 96 kHz/24bit high-resolution audio to microSD or microSDHC media. A pair of all-new microphones handles up to 125dB SPL with the sensitivity to capture every detail. With new recording features like peak reduction and quick menu, the DR-05 recorder puts album-quality recording in the palm of your hand.

Everything about the DR-05 recorder is designed to get the best quality recordings of your music. You can add your own microphone or line-level source through the 1/8" stereo input, including plug-in power for microphones that need it.
Internally, the DR-05's digital and analog circuit boards are built separately to increase noise performance with a low-impedance design to further decrease hiss. A separate power supply is sent to the A/D and D/A converter for even better audio performance.

The layout of the DR-05 recorder has been revamped to be quick and easy to work with one thumb. Operations like recording, adjusting levels, deleting bad takes and adding markers are just a button press away. Dig deeper to find features like limiting, low cut filtering, a built-in chromatic tuner and more.

One new feature that makes the DR-05 easy to operate is the new peak reduction feature. This setting automatically sets your recording level by listening to the input and adjusting for the best level. Unlike auto gain settings, this one only goes down to prevent accidental distortion after a period of low level like a break. Peak recording works in rehearsal mode or in record, so if the performance is louder than the soundcheck you're still safe. Used with the built-in limiter, it's unlikely you'll distort your career-making live recording.

Other classic Tascam features are included, like variable speed audition to loop and slow down music without changing the pitch, which is perfect for transcribing or learning new music. A level align function can be switched on for playback, to smooth out any sudden volume jumps and a built-in speaker is also provided. The two AA batteries are enough to power the recorder for 17 1/2 hours even while recording at CD quality.

For musicians and recordists at any stage of their career, there's no easier way to get great-sounding recordings than Tascam's DR-05 recorder.
