Tascam DR-07X Stereo Handheld Audio Recorder/USB Interface Tascam

The TASCAM DR-07X is an easy to use and thoroughly compact portable audio recorder that features amazing HD audio, multiple fail-safe functions, and switchable microphone configurations for enjoyable and intuitive field recording.

Record clean and clear audio anywhere

The TASCAM DR-07X allows high-quality recording utilizing an easy-to-use interface and is portable, powerful, and a true value. Dual internal condenser microphones can handle anything from subtle to loud to 125dB SPL, with sensitivity to capture every detail.

Simple to operate

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 takes, and adding markers are all a button press away.

TASCAM DR-07X 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. TASCAM DR-07x can also be powered by a USB mobile battery as well for super long extended use.

Adjustable microphone for preferred stereo image

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.

A-B and X-Y stereo?

A-B configuration captures a wider audio space for more room, while X-Y focuses on the sweet spot for a tighter audio field.

Turning your room into a studio – in a minute

Connect to a PC using USB Audio interface mode, and DR-07X 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.

Back up your transcription work: record and play with one unit

Writing down what you hear – Easier said than done, but it is actually easy with DR-07X. In addition to its capability to capture crisp voice recording, DR-07X can help you with its Jump back function, variable Speed function and equalizer preset for human voice.
