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

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. (A windscreen is also sold
seperately.)Full Feature ListHandheld Portable RecorderBuilt-in Stereo
