DR-05X - 2-channel, micro-SD media

Powered by two AA batteries for up to 17hours of continuous use, the DR-05X is a simple and portable tool for making stereo field recordings at up to 96kHz rate and 24-bit depth, in MP3 or PCM (.WAV) format to micro SD (64MB – 2GB), microSDHC (4-32GB) or microSDXC (48-128GB) media. The inbuilt fixed AB orientated omnidirectional electret microphones handle an impressive 125dB SPL, making them suitable for capturing jet engines and heavy metal bands alike, or another source may be connected to the 3.5mm stereo jack input. The recorder has facilities appealing to musicians, as well as journalists. A Dictation Mode enables the user to jump forwards or backwards in increments preselected whilst in the process of playing back a recording. The Dictation Mode can also be combined with specific EQ to aid transcribing. Another new feature in the DR-05X is the ability to use as a USB audio interface by connecting to a compatible computer or iOS device, performing recording and playback functions with DAW or streaming software.

The 128 x 64 pixel blue LCD screen allow users to view settings such as the limiter and 40/80/120Hz low-cut filter, which is switched using the device's menu-based controls. A self-timer function inserts a five or ten second delay between pressing the 'record' button, and the recording starting. A pre-recording buffer of up to two seconds can be applied to help to capture intended recordings. Recordings can be transferred to a computer via USB, using the mini-USB socket on the right side of the unit, though recording division and deletion functions easily located and performed on the DR-05X hardware. Playback is to a 3.5mm stereo jack output on the left side of the unit, or through the internal speaker. A variable speed control, from 50% to 200% of original, with pitch preserved can assist in the learning and transcription of music, especially when used with the mark, loop and repeat functions.
