Tascam DR-05XP 2-Channel 32-Bit Float Portable Handheld Recorder With USB-C Interface
The TASCAM DR-05XP 2-Channel 32-Bit Float Portable Handheld Recorder is perfect for capturing speech, interviews, podcasts, and live music recordings made clearly, distinctly, and free of distortion. Onboard omni mics, built-In speaker, easy to use. With 32-bit float recording mode, you'll never need to worry about setting audio levels. With easy one-handed operation, the DR-05XP makes it simple to start recording with minimal setup time.

Built-in Condenser Microphones
The DR-05XP features omnidirectional condenser microphones that can withstand high sound pressure levels (up to 125dB SPL), reducing the risk of mic distortion even in loud environments. With the DR-05XP, the complexities of audio recording are a thing of the past. Easily access every feature from the palm of your hand. Plus, the backlit LCD screen means no squinting; just clear and concise navigation any time of day, in any environment.

Plug-In Power
For maximum intelligibility and optimal vocal tone, recordists often prefer to use lavalier microphones that can be attached to the subject's clothing. The DR-05X's 3.5mm mini-jack input is designed for precisely that situation; clip a lav mic (available separately) to the talent, then plug it into the 3.5mm input on the DR-05XP. Knowing that many lav mics require a small amount of voltage called plug-in power, TASCAM offers a selectable setting to supply plug-in power to the 3.5mm input.

Your Portable Recording Studio
The DR-05XP isn't only a powerful portable recorder — it's also a 2-in/2-out USB-C audio interface you can use to record anywhere, directly to audio recording software on your Mac or PC. Connect the DR-05XP to your Mac/Windows computer or iOS device via USB-C for real-time bidirectional audio routing. Once recognised and configured, the DR-05XP can be used as a USB microphone or 2-in / 2-out audio interface for your favorite audio software. For convenient file transfers, the DR-05XP can function as a card reader when connected via USB. To maximize compactness and portability, the DR-05XP records directly to media cards (available separately). microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC cards (up to 512GB capacity) are supported for long recording times even at high audio resolutions. With a 512GB card, the DR-05XP can record in stereo for up to 789 hours at 16-bit / 44.1 kHz using uncompressed, BWF-compliant, WAV format.
