Tascam DR-05X Portable Recorder & USB Audio Interface

Tascam DR-05X Portable Recorder & USB Audio Interface

The Tascam DR-05X is a compact and versatile device that is the perfect companion for recording music, podcasts, and other audio applications.

Equipped with a pair of high-quality Omni-directional microphones, the DR-05X captures every detail with exceptional clarity, handling sound pressure levels of up to 125 dB SPL. It also offers the flexibility to connect external microphones or line-level sources through its mini-jack stereo input.

Operating the DR-05X is a breeze with its intuitive design, allowing you to access a wide range of features with just one thumb. Choose from three different auto level modes (Limiter, Peak Reduction, Auto Level) to prevent accidental distortion during recording. The Level Align function smooths out volume jumps during playback, and the built-in speaker provides convenient check-back capabilities.

Enhancing your recordings further, the DR-05X offers six reverb effects for added depth and ambiance. The Overdub feature enables you to layer additional parts over existing recordings, making it perfect for capturing a guitar solo or adding extra elements to your compositions.

The DR-05X introduces a new Dictation Mode, which facilitates easy navigation through preselected increments while playing back a file. This mode, combined with speed control and a specialized dictation EQ, is particularly useful for transcribing recordings, such as meeting minutes.

Not limited to standalone recording, the DR-05X also serves as a high-quality USB audio interface for seamless integration with your PC or Mac. Simply connect it to your computer, and you're ready to dive into podcasting, songwriting, or any other creative endeavor that demands superior audio quality.

3. We always refund the payment according to how the original purchase was made and aim to do so within 72hrs of the return being received by us.

4. Returned goods are liable for a restocking fee of 15% towards handling and repackaging if the order is not returned in its original, unopened packaging. This charge will be subject to our inspection of the returned goods.
