TASCAM is a very good brand of audio recording devices
Tascam DR-05 incredibly user friendly too
batteries performed well enough to last for an entire night s worth of audio
The metallic construction helps ensure it s as durable as possible
ideal addition to anybody s recording gear and has a robust design

Useful Set of Options Level control is an important aspect of sound recording
this recorder performs admirably
both recorders are quality and affordable
Tascam also has a better finish than the Zoom
quality

and inexpensive recorder
a comprehensive menu system that is simple to keep track of
is better and the feeling of it in your hands is exceptional
to look at and it has been styled in the simplest way possible
The display screen is also made really well
high-quality
easy-to-use
affordable recorder
DR-05 has better features
: Comes with lots of features and functions
more accurate

low cut filter is quick and easy

don't have the quality microphones or features
Hard shell to protect device from bumps and scratches 3
AC adapter or USB cable
PEAK light will come on when your recording source is too loud for your gain setting
these microphones are not generally used for recording sound
the sound-which will be very shrill in the final recording
Tascam doesn't offer a weather-sealed design
The audio recording quality on digital cameras can be bad
uses cardioid microphones rather than omnidirectional microphones
you will be missing a lot
05 lacks XLR/TRS jacks
the battery life is shorter than DR-05 s
you cannot connect DR-22WL to an existing network
too loud and too quiet
Not great for voice recordings - very sensitive built-in microphones
bit wav files that require a lot of memory storage
they fixed a few issues
drains the batteries within a week of not being used and left switched off
the printed owner s manual that comes with the recorder is a joke
it s not the quietest or most sensitive field recorder available
the Tascam does not come with any wind protection
noise became apparent when ambient levels fell below 45dB
the experience still felt sluggish to me
adding fade in/out volume control
inexperienced guest
The audio is still not perfect
