Product description
Tascam DR-05X is the new standard in stereo handheld recorders with its high value, powerful features, simple interface and excellent sound quality, It is the first choice for recording meetings, music, audio-for-video, dictation and more. DR-05X allows high-quality recording utilizing an easy-to-use interface and is portable and powerful but with a size and price that anyone can handle. Dual internal condenser microphones can handle anything from subtle to loud to 125dB SPL with sensitivity to capture every detail. The layout of the DR-05X 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. DR-05X uses only two AA batteries and has ultra-long battery capability. When using built-in microphones, recording lasts 17.5 hours when recording with standard 2ch WAV, 44.1kHz/16bit format using alkaline batteries. Also, DR-05X can be powered by a USB mobile battery as well for super long extended use. Connect to a PC using USB Audio interface mode and DR-X becomes a tool for voiceover work, live streaming, podcasting and song writing with studio-quality audio. Built-in microphones work as USB microphones without complicated driver installs. Auto-tone function provides easy-adjustments for on-site movie editing, ideal for DSLR filmmaking. The internal slate tone generator produces various tones for easy track making and recognition. Please use the dedicated accessory kit (AK-DR11C) for connecting. In addition to its capability to capture crisp voice recording, DR-X can help you with its Jump back function, variable Speed function and equalizer preset for the human voice. Auto recording function can detect the sound input signal level and automatically start recording. Also, Pre-recording function with up to 2 seconds pre-record provides fail-safe protection even when you are a bit late to hit the record button.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It's a great device and the software is really intuitive, very easy to set up and just makes sense from the get go.
really like the feature of the quick menu button to quickly change between recording setting, etc.
Another handy feature is the built tuner for musical instruments.
Would give it 5 stars BUT there's a pretty big issue that I didn't realise plagues most Tascam recorders until buying this unit. There's quite a bad RF Interference issue. I have to put my phone onto flight mode to avoid this. It'll pickup interference from my phone from just over 1m away. This isn't such an issue for me but I can imagine it will be a dealbreaker for most users.
So one needs to be replaced

es una hermosura de grabadora. el material es de plastico. pero lo olvidaras al ver la funcionalidad.
Nota : no trae tarjeta micro sd ni cable para conectar a la mac o pc. aun asà el precio es bastante bueno.
es facil de usar,. si planeas hacer ASMR es un excelente producto. <3


Tascam DR-07X
Realicé mi compra hace aproximadamente un mes, y con el tiempo de uso puedo decir que superó mis expectativas en lo que procede a una grabadora; con función de interfaz para ser micro y grabadora. (Te sirve perfectamente para un audio binaural por si te lo preguntabas)
Tiene capacidad de modular la sensibilidad de los micrófonos y el volumen de salida a los auriculares o la bocina que viene integrada al dispositivo, lo que lo hace fácil de usar y monitorear.
La calidad y limpieza del audio es magistral y sin exagerar te recomiendo este dispositivo, si has pensado en comprarlo.
Sin embargo debes contar con un filtro antipoo o un antiviento para disfrutar mejor del dispositivo, ya que graba la respiración e incluso los latidos del corazón si está relativamente cerca de tu pecho o tu boca.
Las contras son pocas pero pueden ser escenciales para algunas personas:
1-El material principal es plástico, como la mayorÃa de las grabadoras de la marca, pero es de una calidad bastante buena, no tengo ninguna queja por ello. Pero es un dato que debes de conocer si esperas algo que te resista grandes aventuras.
2-Se siente muy ligera, no me esperaba su peso. Más ligera que mi celular (Xiaomi MiA2 ya con funda y Gorilla Glass). Asà que si te gusta sentir el peso de una grabadora, no esperes sentirlo. Este punto puede ser pro/contra según tus gustos. A mà me gusta que sea ligera, es fácil de llevar y al integrarla a un brazo mecánico para grabación o a mi cámara fotográfica es más fácil de realizar las tareas, recomendado para videógrafos.
3-No incluye ningún cable accesorio, únicamente un par de pilas, que siendo sincero unas pilas AA tardan bastante en gastarse, yo aproximo unas 7-10hrs de uso continuo en WAV.
La adquirà en 2,300Mxn + Importación.
La recomiendo en un 9.5/10
Si te fue útil mi reseña déjame saberlo con un like.
ACTUALIZACIÓN:
Al segundo uso de la montura para el trÃpode se barrio totalmente y se cayó, ya inicie el proceso de devolución, no la recomiendo en lo absoluto para montarla, cosa que es fundamental, por ello 2 estrellas.

I know, electronics and water do not mix. But for this little recorder, when the manual says "do not use near water", they literally mean within 5 feet of running water. For whatever reason, I get bad signal interference (think of that cell phone near a speaker 'bzz bzz bzz' thing that used to happen a lot) whenever this device is near a running water source. Be it my bathroom sink, kitchen sink, or even on a dock at a lake. Probably poor shielding? However, I've left my cell phone next to it while recording and haven't had a single issue there. Just wanted to point this out to anyone who may want to record the sounds of running water for whatever reason.
Regardless, I still recommend it. I was floored how good the sound quality was from it, and still am every time I import an audio file that wasn't recorded near a body of water.
