The DR-05 records in MP3 or WAV format – including 96kHz/24-bit high-resolution audio – to microSD or microSDHC media. A pair of all-new microphones handles up to 125dB SPL with the sensitivity to capture every detail. With new recording features like Peak Reduction and Quick Menu, the DR-05 puts album-quality recording in the palm of your hand. Premium-quality Sound Everything about the DR-05 is designed to get the best quality recordings of your music. A new pair of built-in microphones withstands up to 125dB SPL – the volume of a jet plane from 200 feet away – yet still have the sensitivity to capture every detail of a performance. You can add your own microphone or line-level source through the 1/8” stereo input, including plug-in power for microphones that need it. Simple to Operate The layout of the DR-05 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. Dig deeper to find features like limiting, low cut filtering, a built-in chromatic tuner and more. Classic TASCAM features are included, like Variable Speed Audition to loop and slow down music without changing the pitch – perfect for transcribing or learning new music. A Level Align function can be switched on for playback, to smooth out any sudden volume jumps, and a built-in speaker is also provided. The two AA batteries are enough to power the recorder for 17 1/2 hours, even while recording at CD quality. For musicians and recordists at any stage of their career, there’s no easier way to get great-sounding recordings than TASCAM’s DR-05. From the Manufacturer TASCAM's DR-05 puts premium recording quality in the palm of your hand. Up to 96kHz/24-bit Broadcast WAV film recording provides better than CD quality to capture every detail. Record WAV or MP3 files to the included 2GB microSD Card, or expand with your own microSD & SDHC media. Like all TASCAM products, the DR-05 is simple to use with functions like two-button record and the Quick Menu for fast setting changes. Omni Condenser MicrophonesBuilt into the DR-05 are a pair of omnidirectional condenser microphones. These stereo microphones are tailored for natural ambient recording, with rich bass response and lower handling noise than most handheld recorders. The built-in microphones capture a wide, natural frequency range suitable for any type of voice, nature or musical recording. A 1/8" microphone input is also available for adding your own stereo microphone or recording a line-level source. Like most TASCAM handheld recorders, the DR-05 includes playback modes to loop a section of playback or slow it down without changing the pitch, perfect for learning new music. A built-in speaker is included for checking recording without headphones. The Level Align feature smooths out level jumps during playback to help you monitor your raw, unmastered recordings.Other handy additions include a chromatic tuner and tripod stand mount.Peak Limiter Prevents ClippingA built-in stereo peak limiter prevents unexpected loud sounds from distorting your recording. Just flip it on to keep sudden jumps from ruining your takes. Another recording mode is the Auto Level setting, which sets the level based on the sound level in the room. Other settings include a low cut filter, useful for removing rumble or wind noise when outdoors.

No, but "podcasting" isn't supposed to be studio quality anyway. Definitely possible with the right external mic. The sound quality would be passable, and everyone would have to be close to the mic, (since it would have to be an omni-directional stereo mic.) On the positive side, the set-up would be very simple: plug in mic, turn on microphone power (in record menu) double-tap the record button, and start talking. Oh, and also very cheap: DR-05 $85USD, $26 for an omni stereo mic and maybe blanket to cut down on echo behind the speakers. The included mics are sensitive, but they are better for ambient sound rather than vocal recording. **Q: How long of a recording session will fit on this, and can you download it to soundcloud easy?** A: Version 2.0 of the DR-05 includes a 4 gigabyte card. With this space, you can record up to 3 DAYS of mundane "podcasting"-quality audio into a 128kbs MP3 file. Since Soundcloud supports MP3 and WAV (PCM for computers) formats, you should not have issues. You will need to use the included USB cable and copy the files off the device manually. I wouldn't call it "easy", but it's doable for anyone that's previously copied audio or pictures from a digital camera or a mobile phone. **Q: Can I schedule recording? I want to record a late-night radio show while I sleep.** A: If you set it to MP3 (256), it records for a long enough period that it will probably capture the late-night radio show. You'd need to edit out the unwanted material on the front end. Even though I have several purchased audio editors, I normally use Audacity which is a great little editor, and it's free. **Q: Can I listen to the recording through the headphones as I'm recording it in real time. Or only during playback? I need monitoring capability.** A: Yup. In addition to the levels displayed on the screen, you can listen in real-time as the audio is being recorded. There are separate adjustments for recording sensitivity and the loudness of the headphones, so keep that in mind. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***K on June 19, 2012* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***R on December 23, 2015* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***M on November 11, 2015* ## Frequently Bought Together - TASCAM DR-05 Portable Digital Recorder (Version 2) - SanDisk 256GB Ultra microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - Up to 150MB/s, C10, U1, Full HD, A1, MicroSD Card - SDSQUAC-256G-GN6MA [New Version] - Tascam DR-05X Stereo Handheld Digital Audio Portable Recorder and USB Audio Interface, Pro Field, AV, Music, Dictation Recorder --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/1245499-tascam-dr-05-portable-digital-recorder-version-2](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/1245499-tascam-dr-05-portable-digital-recorder-version-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
