Portable audio recorders | Handheld recorders

Notes: The DR-05X is the new standard in stereo hand held recorders with its high value, powerful features, simple interface and excellent sound quality, It is first choice for recording meetings, music, audio-for-video, dictation, and more.

DR-05X allows high-quality recording utilizing an easy-to-use interface, and is portable and powerful but with a size and price that anyone can handle. Dual internal condenser microphones can handle anything from subtle to loud to 125dB SPL, with sensitivity to capture every detail.

The layout of the DR-05X 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.

DR-05X uses only two AA batteries and has ultra-long battery capability. When using built-in microphones, recording lasts 17.5 hours when recording with standard 2ch WAV, 44.1kHz/ 16bit format using alkaline batteries.

Also DR-05X can be powered by a USB mobile battery as well for super long extended use.

Connect to a PC using USB Audio interface mode, and DR-X becomes a tool for voiceover work, live streaming, podcasting and songwriting with studio-quality audio.

Built-in microphones work as USB microphones without complicated driver installs.

Auto tone function provides easy-adjustments for on-site movie editing, ideal for DSLR filmmaking. The internal slate tone generator produces various tones for easy track making and recognition. Please use the dedicated accessory kit (AK-DR11C) for connecting.

Writing down what you hear - easier said than done, but it is actually easy with DR-X. In addition to its capability to capture crisp voice recording, DR-X can help you with its Jump back function, variable Speed function and equalizer preset for human voice.

Peak Reduction works in rehearsal mode or in record. Even if the sound or performance is louder than the sound check you're safe. Combined with Auto level and Limiter for preventing distortion, you never have to worry.

If you don't like the last part of a phrase you just recorded with your guitar, or if you change your mind and want to rephrase narration, the "Overwrite mode" is exactly what you need. Overwrite mode allows punch-in recording from a desired point. It is destructive editing with one level of undo.

The overdubbing function allows for Overdub Recording while playing a previously recorded file. This allows you to record other parts such as a guitar solo over a recording previously made such as at a rehearsal studio. Overdubbing creates a new file, leaving the original file unaffected, making it easy to re-record.

DR-05X supports a microSDXC card, which can record longer with larger data capacity. If you record a stereo file at 44.1kHz/ 16bit CD quality, a128GB card holds 192 hours maximum. In MP3/ 320kbps mode, it can record up to 896 hours.

Notes: DR-07X bring high-quality recording to an easy-to-use portable powerhouse with a size and price that anyone can handle. A pair of condenser microphones handles small to loud sound up to 125dB SPL with the sensitivity to capture every detail.
The layout of the DR-07X 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.
DR-07X is equipped with adjustable unidirectional microphones that can be used for recording in both the A-B position and X-Y position. Advanced microphone placing allows for a wide stereo sound recording or a clear stereo sound recording with less phase difference, making it possible to achieve professional quality recordings.

For example, even if you want to record acoustic guitar duo one day and large choir or band concert on the other day, you can change microphone configuration and set it for more suitable stereo capturing. A-B configuration is for more far image that capture wider horizon. On the other hand X-Y can prevent missing sweet center spot, so it is more suitable for tight image.

Menu display of dr-07x supports 10 languages:
English/ Spanish/ French/ Italian/ German/ Russian/ Chinese/ Korean/ Japanese/ Portuguese

Notes: A thing of beauty. Teenage Engineering channel the vibes of vintage open-reel tape recorders mashed up with modern tech. A proper all-round recording solution, from voice memos to studio work.

Supplier's Notes:
There are thoughts, ideas and fragments that - for the sake of humanity - we need to record and be able to return to as a reference, as a seed for new thoughts or just to remember another time. TP-7 is built for just that, to record sound, music, interviews and important ideas with zero friction in the highest possible quality. A device engineered in every detail to do only one thing and to do it well. A dedicated piece of hardware for ideas, or just a dirty riff.

The ultra-portable audio recorder. Record and listen back using the internal mic and speaker, or use any number of the 3x two-way jacks for external mics, headsets or other signal sources. Multiple connectivity options include USB-C, MFi and Bluetooth. Instant voice-to-text transcription available via the IOS app. Included in the box: 6.35 mm jack adapter, textile USB-C cable, user guide and reusable plastic storage box.

Intuitive muscle reflex control.

TP-7 fits perfectly in the palm of your hand and lets your fingers naturally adopt the controls. The index finger triggers fast forward and the middle finger rewinds. Your thumb records a memo, the pinky selects the mode. It's a genuinely rewarding experience.

Tape reel sensation.

The centre piece of the TP-7 is the motorized tape reel. A delicately engineered brushed motor with ball bearings, and a highly sensitive hall sensor that lets you virtually grab your recording. the reel is also used for scrubbing, to pause, menu navigation and as gentle visual feedback during playback and recording.

The rocker.

The side-mounted rocker allows you to quickly scrub through your audio.
just press on the top edge to fast forward, and down to rewind. watch the wheel spin around and hear your tracks scrub in 'hyperspeed'.

Transcription hell turned into transcription heaven.

We've all experienced the process of transcribing recorded speech to text by hand. A key feature of the TP-7 is its ability to streamline the process of turning audio into text. simply connect your phone to TP-7 via BLE or USB, open the TP-7 app and press transcribe. Job done!

(* Additional languages, text-to-audio edit and other useful features will be added over time.)

Off the record.

Picture yourself in an interview situation. The reel on the TP-7 is spinning slowly, the bright red record lamp is lit. Both the reel and the lamp indicates that a recording is taking place. The interview is going quite well. The situation gets heated, you're suddenly asked some personal questions. In that moment, you gently place a finger on the reel and pause the recording, allowing you to continue the interview 'off the record'.

The importance of zero friction.
(or how to remove steps from thought to action.)

Let's compare TP-7 to the most common recorder today - the smartphone:
Once you've turned on and unlocked your phone, found the recording app and started recording, you've probably forgotten whatever you had in mind. When recording on TP-7: press the memo button and start talking.

Inputs, outputs and 20 years of ideas.

TP-7 features three stereo two-way jacks to be used as either inputs or outputs, for connecting external mics, headphones, studio monitors, or any other audio equipment like OP-1 field or TX-6, recording with all 6 stereo channels. Use USB-C for multi-channel audio interface, MIDI, data transfer and charging, and BLE and MFi for wireless connectivity. TP-7 also includes a 6.35 mm to 3.5 mm jack adapter. Add to that 128 GB of internal storage and you can preserve 5 minutes of ideas a day for 20 years..

Supplier's Notes:
Small Appearance, Big Impact.

Videographers love the Tascam DR-10L Pro portable recorder with clip-on microphone as an easy and unobtrusive solution for capturing audio for video. Combining the clip-on convenience of a lavalier microphone with an ultra-compact portable recorder, this form factor solves many of the problems content creators often face. It's a superior solution for busy events such as weddings and on-location film shoots.

While traditional wireless microphone systems can pose workflow concerns, the rock-solid performance of a Tascam wired lavalier recorder is proven and assured. Simple plug-and-go operation also makes the DR-10L Pro an easy backup system for your typical voice recording setup.

The DR-10L Pro's 32-bit float recording technology lets you capture a whisper, a scream and everything in between with impeccable fidelity, ultra-low noise and no need to fine-tune gain levels. Support for wireless timecode sync with Atomos products, the ability to wirelessly control up to five recorders from the app*, plus long battery life and generous storage capacity make the DR-10L Pro ideal for professional applications.

*optional AK-BT1 required for app control and wireless timecode sync

Ultra-compact and lightweight, the DR-10L Pro is the perfect solution when stealth is a priority. Fitting in the palm of your hand and weighing just 65 grams, this recorder is easy to hide at film shoots, weddings, stage performances, and other projects where invisibility is crucial.

The included belt clip attaches easily and securely to clothing, allowing you to capture great audio without compromising your talent.

Using the DR-10L Pro's standard 32-bit float recording mode, two analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs) capture sound over an enormous dynamic range without distortion or excessive noise. This means that videographers can avoid having to discard recordings due to poor levels. With 32-bit float resolution, there's no need to adjust input gain levels, so you can set up faster and be confident that you're recording excellent audio in every situation.

The included TM-10L microphone captures clear, detailed audio while handling high sound pressure levels without distortion, making it the perfect lav mic for 32-bit float recording with the the DR-10L Pro.

Whether you're recording people at a wedding reception, a busy convention or a lengthy ceremony, the DR-10L Pro is ready for service as long as you are. There's no need to worry about changing batteries during recording: the DR-10L Pro personal recorder runs on just two AAA batteries for up to 24.5 hours*.

In addition, files are saved on the microSD card approximately every 20 seconds during recording to minimise the risk of data loss due to unexpected power cuts.

*Lithium batteries

With the optional AK-BT1 Bluetooth dongle, up to five DR-10L Pro recorders can be controlled wirelessly from iOS, iPadOS and Android devices using the free DR-10L Pro CONNECT app. The app allows videographers to check device status*, view the recorded waveforms in real time and create up to five presets. A preset can be applied to a single recorder or to all controlled units at once. You can also use the app to name devices for easy identification, for example "Bride", "Groom", and so on.

With the optional AK-BT1 Bluetooth dongle, the DR-10L Pro is ready to wirelessly synchronise timecode with supported Atomos products. Timecode allows videographers to perfectly align audio with video, even when there is no audio on the camera.

Timecode is critical for videographers when dealing with multi-camera video shoots, saving valuable time in post-production.

*Audio monitoring via app is not supported

Whether you're in a dark environment or outdoors in the sun, the DR-10L Pro's highly visible OLED display lets you confirm settings at a glance.

You can check your battery level, recording status, and input levels directly from the display, and all advanced functions are just a few button presses away.

The DR-10L Pro lavalier recorder has a headphones output for easy monitoring. You can listen to the input before or during recording, and also check the quality of your recordings immediately without having to first transfer them to a computer.

The DR-10L Pro comes bundled with a free version of RX Elements, a groundbreaking audio repair and noise reduction tool from iZotope. RX Elements gives videographers powerful audio restoration capabilities that need to be heard to be believed, from seamlessly removing coughs and background noise to reducing wind roar and ambient noise. Live video shoots for weddings, on-location interviews, and documentaries can present countless post-production challenges, and RX Elements gives videographers the tools they need to overcome them.
