TASCAM has announced the new DR-05XP and DR-07XP 2-Channel Portable Handheld Recorders. Building upon the strengths of the earlier versions, these new recorders are suitable for capturing pro-quality recordings for music, audio-for-video, meetings, dictation, and more. Featuring 32-bit float recording capability and compact form factors for easy, one-hand operation, these recorders deliver professional audio performance with minimal setup time.
As 2-channel portable handheld audio recorders with micro SDXC card storage, both models make it easy to capture high-quality recordings on a moment’s notice. With support for up to 512GB memory cards, they provide ample recording capacity for on-the-go use. Equally noteworthy, the 32-bit float recording mode with up to 32-bit / 96kHz sample rate ensures low-noise, distortion-free recordings for superior sound. With 32-bit float recording, users never have to worry about losing audio takes that were recorded too loudly or quietly.
The DR-05XP features omnidirectional, fixed-position condenser microphones capable of recording audio from any direction with levels up to 125dB SPL while the DR-07XP is outfitted with unidirectional stereo condenser microphones that are adjustable from A/B to X/Y configurations – suitable for capturing full-bodied stereo imaging.
Both the DR-05XP and DR-07XP recorders can function as a 2-in/2-out USB-C audio interface—making them easy to connect to a computer or DAW on both PC and Mac. Additionally, they can be used as USB microphones when connected via USB-C. The recorders also feature a stereo minijack for external microphones with plug-in power or line-level audio sources.
Additional features include:
- Built-in chromatic tuner—perfect for musicians.
- Reverb effect for enhancing vocal and instrumental recordings.
- Three low-cut filter options to reduce unwanted noise.
- Auto Tone output for seamless video post-production sync.
- Tripod mount compatibility (DR-07XP).
According to Sean Daily, TASCAM Product Specialist, “The new DR-05XP and DR-07XP recorders build upon the strengths of their first-generation siblings while taking sound quality and features to an entirely new level. With 32-bit float recording capability, these recorders capture sound with greater precision than ever before. Combine this with their ability to provide 17.5 hours of battery life using standard alkaline batteries, and you have an incredibly versatile, easy-to-use recorder that is ideal for a wide range of applications.”
