Review: So simple to use and great quality sound - So simple to use and great quality sound. This arrived today, 4GB card already installed, 2 x AA batteries included, 1 x USB lead included, put the batteries in, press and hold the off button, within a few seconds the unit had fired up. I did make a point of going on YouTube to look at reviews of this which included a brief tutorial, this thing is so simple and intuitive to set up its brilliant, menu navigation is a breeze, everything is simple and straightforward. To record, you press the record button once, this gives you your levels which are adjusted by the forward and backward buttons then press record again to start recording, sound quality is excellent, obviously better if you are actually facing the mic but this is a great recorder which is a worthy addition to my camera bag, haven't tried an external mic on it yet but I will, on-board speaker is tiny so is very quiet but plug earphones/headphones in and you are away to the races, you can also monitor your recordings with earphones as well. Also has a tripod screw on the back of the unit which I would advise using as any handling of the unit while recording is picked up by the mics. Really nice recorder at a great price. Review: Tascam DR-05 - Absolutely brilliant product. I need a good quality recording device for my YouTube channel. I have tried many different microphones on my laptop, but never been able to achieve a good quality sound, whether this is the fault of my laptop, or software, microphones etc I just could not cure my problems whatever I tried. I even bought some very expensive microphones which just wasted my money. I saw this Tascam being reviewed on a YouTube channel and thought that I would give it a go (still cheaper than a lot of the microphones out their) This cured all of my problems, I now have a rich and clear narration, even my subscribers have noticed a vast difference in quality. On live streaming it holds up well using just as a microphone, so now I have the best of two worlds. I didn't play with the settings, just left it in automatic recording mode, so it might even be possible to make things sound even better once I have learned all of the functions. I use it plugged into my laptop with the USB, so I can save the files straight to where I want them to go, plus it is powered by the USB so no batteries to buy. This now sits permanently on my microphone boom above my head, It's my main sound source, I wouldn't change it for the world. I hope this helps someone out their. Update,,,,,,, After using the Tascam DR05 for a few months I can find no faults or problems with the unit, I already had a Zoom H1 which is a good recorder but the Tascam has a much warmer sound to it, and a better layout, more functions Etc. I have just bought my narrators a second tascam DR05 to replace the Zoom. I am seriously thinking of buying another 3 for outside recording mounted on my cameras instead of the Rode mics we use at the moment.

It has a wide range of mp3 quality recording settings (stereo or mono). Most of the time, I record in mp3 format. I usually use 192kbps, but others are available (32kbps-320kbps). Of course it also records in .WAV format for lossless quality at a cost of space. Any files recorded are transferred to your computer via included mini-USB to standard USB cable (USB2). I can't speak about the microphone quality, as I only record live events directly from my mixing console to the DR-05 via the line input of the DR-05. Love this unit. **Q: What is the recording capacity in hours** A: 英語It comes with a microSDHC card of 4GB. It can record up to 149 hours with the supplied card capacity (when MP3 32kbps recording) **Q: Will this record interviews w/very soft speakers and louder recordings? Can the digital recordings be organized and edited on a PC or Mac?** A: It handles high sound pressure (e.g. rock bands). For quieter material, you can adjust its recording level yourself, or set it to automatically adjust itself. Recordings can be copied to your PC or Mac using the supplied USB cable, then it's up to you to provide your own editing software. Keep in mind: This is not an iPod, this is a serious techy device -- you will probably need to read the manual to get the most out of it. I did. **Q: can it record mono? can it be used as a microphone?** A: Yes, it has the option of recording in mono. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So simple to use and great quality sound *by J***E on 31 August 2017* So simple to use and great quality sound.

THIS IS FOR YOU! *by N***A on 9 April 2018* The Tascam DR-05 is light, small and portable. It's easy to use and for that it can be referred as an “entry level” recorder, but is still a professional sounding audio. Yes, it doesn’t have XLR/TRS jacks like other higher-end multi-track recorder, this is to use an external mic via the 3.5mm jack, or for who wants to record directly into the built-in mics. The design's great, simplistic and feels great (you can control everything with one thumb). The quality of the sound also depends on your external equipment. The recording directly from the built-in mics has capability to give great vocal recording. In conclusion, if you are looking for a high quality recorder, easy to use and at a fantastic price, THIS IS FOR YOU! ## Frequently Bought Together - Tascam Portable Studio Recorder, Black, 7.5 x 2.4 x 1.2 inches (DR-05V2) - Hermitshell Hard EVA Travel Case for TASCAM DR-05 / Tascam DR-05X Portable Digital Recorder --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/48091149-tascam-dr-05-version-2-linear-pcm-portable-recorder-including](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/48091149-tascam-dr-05-version-2-linear-pcm-portable-recorder-including) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
