32-bit Float Technology for Flawless Sound
The TASCAM DR-05XP introduces the innovative 32-bit float recording function, which serves as a "safety net" for every sound engineer. With this technology, the dynamic range of sound is so wide that you no longer need to worry about clipping or manually adjusting the gain.

It is the ideal solution for environments where sound changes abruptly and unpredictably, ensuring that no recording will be lost.
High Sensitivity Omnidirectional Microphones
Equipped with two stereo omnidirectional condenser microphones, the DR-05XP captures every detail of the surrounding environment naturally. The microphones are designed to withstand extremely high sound pressure levels of up to 125dB SPL, allowing you to record close to loud sources such as drums or amplifiers without any trace of distortion. Their arrangement ensures a rich stereo image, making the recorder ideal for atmospheric field recordings, live performances, or even for capturing clear audio in DSLR video.
Versatility and USB-C Audio Interface
Beyond being a standalone recorder, the TASCAM DR-05XP also functions as a powerful USB-C audio interface (2-in/2-out). You can connect it directly to your PC or Mac and use it as a microphone for live streaming, podcasts, or recordings directly to your DAW. The USB Type-C port offers modern compatibility and stable power supply, while support for microSDXC cards up to 512 GB ensures you always have plenty of space for your productions. It is a versatile tool that meets your needs both on the road and in the studio.
Professional Editing Functions
The device is "loaded" with features that make your work easier. It includes Peak reduction and a Limiter for controlling peaks, as well as three levels of low-cut filter (40/80/120 Hz) to eliminate unwanted low-frequency noises such as wind or air conditioning noise. Additionally, the Overdubbing function allows you to add new layers of sound over existing recordings, while the built-in Reverb adds depth and atmosphere to your takes, making your recordings sound complete.
Autonomy and Design for Handheld Use
The ergonomic design of the DR-05XP allows full one-handed control, with a central button for instant recording start. The 128x64 pixel LCD screen with backlight remains easy to read even in the dark, providing all the necessary information about levels and time. With up to 17.5 hours of battery life using two standard AA alkaline batteries, you can record all day without interruption. The tripod socket on the bottom and the lightweight 174 g make the device extremely portable and easy to place in any setup.
Smart Tools for Musicians and Videographers
The TASCAM DR-05XP includes specialized tools such as the chromatic tuner for musicians and the Auto Tone function for easy audio synchronization with DSLR cameras. The VSA (Variable Speed Audition) feature allows you to change the playback speed from 0.5 to 2.0 times without altering the pitch, which is invaluable for learning musical pieces or transcribing meetings. With menus in multiple languages and Tascam's reliability, the DR-05XP is the ideal companion for any creator who demands 96kHz/24-bit quality in a compact size.
