The DR-05X is the new standard in portable stereo recorders. With its great value, powerful functions, simple interface and excellent sound quality, it is the first choice for recording meetings, music, audio-video, dictation and much more.
Record clean, clear audio anywhere
The DR-05X delivers high-quality recording using an easy-to-use interface. It's portable and powerful, but at a size and price that anyone can handle. Dual internal condenser microphones can handle anything from subtle to loud up to 125dB SPL, with the sensitivity to capture every detail.
Ease of use
The DR-05X's layout has been revamped to be quick and easy to work with just one thumb. Operations like recording, adjusting levels, erasing bad shots, and adding markers are just a press of a button away.
Extending battery life
The DR-05X uses only two AA batteries and has an ultra-long battery capacity. When using built-in microphones, recording lasts 17.5 hours when recording in standard 2-channel WAV, 44.1 kHz/16-bit format using alkaline batteries. The DR-05X can also be powered by a mobile USB battery for extended use.
Transform your bedroom into a studio in one minute
Connect to a PC using USB audio interface mode and the DR-X becomes a tool for voiceover work, live streaming, podcasting and songwriting with great sound studio.
Built-in microphones work like USB microphones without complicated driver installation.
