The Tascam portable DR-07X Audio recorder with USB interface is compact and very versatile. Recording and determining birds in both WAV up to 96 kHz in 16/24 bit or in MP3 up to 320 kbit/s is no problem at all. A pair of cardioid condenser microphones handles high sound pressure levels and can be set up in AB or XY orientation for a wide stereo field or extra-clear reproduction with reduced phase displacement between both channels. Users can also use their own microphone or line-level source through the mini-jack stereo input which includes plug-in power for microphones that need it. Incidentally, the DR-07X is equipped with a built-in USB interface with which you can also directly transfer files from your computer to the recorder or make recordings directly from the computer. Recording is done on MicroSD media with a maximum storage capacity of up to 128 gigabytes (this is not included). Furthermore, the recorder is equipped with all the conveniences that include this package, including a low-cut filter, a peak reduction meter, limiter, audio recording pre-recording buffer of 2 seconds, self-timer and much more. There is even thought of a built-in tuner. The tripod adapter on the bottom is also very practical with which you can easily mount the DR-07X Audio Recorder on a tripod or camera tripod.
The DR-07X has a simple multilingual user interface, making it easy to access recording, adjusting levels, deleting takes, adding markers, and other common functions with just the click of a thumb. Menus are available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Russian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese. Three different auto level modes (Limiter, Peak Reduction, Auto Level) can help to prevent accidental distortion while recording. Users may apply one out of six reverb effects to the input or output signal, and an Overdub feature allows voices or instruments to be added to existing audio files. There is also a Level Align function that allows to smooth out any sudden volume jumps during playback, and a built-in speaker is provided for quick check-back. Other features like variable speed audition, low-cut filtering, chromatic tuner and more can be chosen from the menu.
