TASCAM DR-05XP 2-Channel 32-Bit Float Portable Audio Recorder With USB-C Interface

The TASCAM DR-05XP is a sleek, high-performance 2-channel, 32-bit float portable handheld audio recorder equipped with built-in omnidirectional condenser mics — ideal for music, field recording, interviews, content creation, and more. Thanks to its 32-bit float recording capability, you can reliably capture audio without worrying about clipping or level-setting, delivering distortion-free results even in dynamic environments.

Not only a standalone recorder, it’s also a 2-in/2-out USB-C audio interface, meaning you can directly connect to your computer for real-time capture or use it as a high-quality mic for your Mac or PC.  Compact, lightweight, and simple enough for one-handed operation, the DR-05XP supports large-capacity microSDXC cards, and offers up to 17.5 hours of battery life via two AA batteries — making it a go-to for long shoots and mobile setups.
