Given the variety of readily available tools and social media platforms, creating content is easier than ever. With TASCAM’s DR-05XP, you can lock in the best sound every time you hit record. This ultra-portable AA battery-powered stereo recorder comes equipped with dual omnidirectional condenser mics rated to withstand high sound pressure levels and a 32-bit float mode that combined keep your recordings clear, distinct, and distortion-free without constant adjustment to input levels. Sweetwater content creators love the ergonomic layout and crisp LCD that make accessing and viewing every feature effortless. When the need arises for a more complex setup, the unit functions as a 2-in/2-out USB-C audio interface, allowing real-time recording into your preferred software on both Mac and PC. With its compact size, quality design, and versatile feature set, the DR-05XP makes for the perfect travel companion for musicians and even videographers, easily attaching to a tripod with an Auto Tone output system for post-production edits. From capturing dialogue and vlogging to recording acoustic guitars and beyond, you’ll always capture the performance with your TASCAM DR-05XP.

Feature-rich design

The TASCAM DR-05XP packs a lot of power into its compact handheld build. With up to 17.5 hours of operation, the unit runs off two AA batteries. Once powered up, you can access six recording modes, including 32-bit float, 24-bit, 16-bit, 96kHz, 48kHz, and 44.1kHz, all using the built-in, omnidirectional condenser microphones to provide low-noise recordings. The microphones are designed to perform well in loud environments, with a rating of up to 125 dB SPL when using the 32-bit float recording mode. This feature provides extra protection against noise. You can take advantage of various recording functions, including overdubbing, peak reduction, limiters, and three low-cut filters to adapt to your surroundings. The DR-05XP also offers Auto Tone output for use with cameras, reverb effects, and stereo line inputs; it can function as an interface for your computer, making it a versatile choice for both musicians and content creators. Finally, the built-in chromatic tuner and monaural speaker help you tune your instrument or monitor your recordings, respectively.
