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

Writing down what you hear – is easier said than done, but it is 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 the human voice.

Choose your language

The menu display of DR-05X supports 10 languages: English/ Spanish/ French/ Italian/ German/ Russian/ Chinese/ Korean/ Japanese/ Portuguese.

Extended Battery Life

DR-05X uses only two AA batteries and has ultra-long battery capability. 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.

Never Miss the Timing

The auto-recording function can detect the sound input signal level and automatically start recording. Also, Pre-recording function with up to 2 seconds pre-record provides fail-safe protection even when you are a bit late to hit the record button.

Nondestructive Overdubbing

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 separate file, leaving the original file unaffected, making it easy to re-record.

192 Hours

192 Hours. This is how long you can record CD-quality sound with one single microSDXC card. DR-05X supports a microSDXC card, which can record longer with a larger data capacity. If you record a stereo file at 44.1kHz/ 16bit CD quality, a 128 GB card holds 192 hours maximum. In MP3/ 320kbps mode, it can record up to 896 hours.
