Key Features & Capabilities
32-Bit Float Recording
Forget about adjusting gain or worrying about audio distortion. The 32-bit float recording mode captures an incredibly wide dynamic range, meaning you can easily normalize quiet sounds and recover loud sounds without clipping. Just press record and focus on the performance.
High-Quality Stereo Microphones
A pair of built-in omnidirectional condenser microphones captures a clear and wide stereo image, perfect for recording everything from musical performances and ambient soundscapes to group meetings and lectures.
Simple, Fast Operation
Designed for one-handed use, the DR-05XP features a quick-access control layout and an intuitive interface. From powering on to recording, the entire process is streamlined to ensure you never miss a spontaneous moment.
Versatile Connectivity
A 1/8-inch stereo mic/line input with plug-in power allows you to connect external sources like a lavalier microphone for interviews. A dedicated 1/8-inch headphone/line output makes it easy to monitor your audio or connect directly to a camera.
