For speech, sound effects, and live music recording applications, the Tascam DR-05X portable handheld recorder is capable of capturing two tracks of high-resolution audio with no external microphones required. Its onboard omnidirectional condenser mics are fixed in an A-B arrangement for spacious stereo imaging of your source. Equally adept as a handheld device, stand-mounted, or camera-mounted setups, the DR-05X can handle anything from sampling sessions and recitals to interviews and podcasts.
