Tascam Debuts DR-05XP and DR-07XP 32-Bit Audio Recorders
Tascam announced two new portable stereo recorders; the DR-05XP and DR-07XP are what the company calls “pro-quality recording” for music, audio-for-video, meetings, dictation and more. Featuring 32-bit float resolution capability, both recorders make it easy to capture high quality recordings instantly. The 32-bit float recording mode with up to 96 kHz sample rate ensures low-noise, distortion-free recordings for superior sound. With 32-bit float resolution, users never have to worry about losing audio takes that were recorded at too high or too low a recording level. And with support for SDXC cards up to 512 GB and a battery life of more than 17 hours, there is plenty of recording capacity available for on-the-go use.
Both models have built-in microphones capable of handling audio levels up to 125 dB SPL. The two omnidirectional fixed condenser microphones on the DR-05XP can pick up sound from any direction. The DR-07XP is more flexible, with unidirectional stereo condenser microphones that can be set up in either AB or XY orientations, allowing a wide stereo image to be recorded. And a stereo mini jack on both models lets users connect mini microphones with plug-in power or external line sources for mono or stereo recording.
Both new Tascam recorders can function as 2-in/2-out USB audio interfaces via USB-C and they can also be used as USB microphones with these devices. The DR-05XP and DR-07XP offer a host of additional features including a chromatic tuner function, reverb effect, three different low-cut filter options, automatic tone output to cameras for easy post-production synchronization, and many more.
