To maximize its compactness and portability, the DR-07XP records directly onto memory cards (available separately). It supports microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC cards (up to 512 GB capacity) for extended recordings even with high audio resolutions. With a 512 GB card, the DR-07XP can record in stereo for up to 789 hours at 16-bit/44.1 kHz in uncompressed WAV format, compatible with BWF.
To record with the camera and the DR-07XP, simply connect the 3.5 mm mini-jack output of the DR-07XP to the camera's input and use the +/- buttons on the screen to adjust the output level. You can also connect headphones to the 3.5 mm mini-jack for more precise listening. Quick monitor checks can be performed through the DR-07XP's built-in mono speaker.
Connect the DR-07XP to your Mac/Windows computer or iOS device via USB-C to enjoy real-time bidirectional audio routing. Once recognized and configured, the DR-07XP can be used as a USB microphone or as a two-input, two-output audio interface for your favorite audio software. For more convenient file transfer, the DR-07XP can function as a card reader when connected via USB.
With the two included AA alkaline batteries, you can power the DR-07XP for up to 17.5 hours of stereo recording at a resolution of 16-bit/44.1 kHz. For long sessions that require extended recording time, the DR-07X can be powered via a USB connection to a computer or portable battery, or with the TASCAM PS-P520E AC adapter (available separately).
Ideal for portable use or mounted on a tripod.
Designed for optimal portability, the DR-07XP is small and lightweight. Its streamlined design makes it easy to use both in hand and in the pocket. To prevent unintended button presses in these situations, activate the hold switch on the side panel. Use the 1/4"-20 threaded hole at the bottom of the DR-07XP to mount it on a microphone stand or tripod for a stable position.
The DR-07XP offers several recording features that simplify your workflow and prevent you from missing the start of a performance. Once activated, the pre-recording function keeps the DR-05X in standby mode, allowing you to capture up to two seconds of signal before pressing the record button. The DR-07XP can also record in response to the input signal; its automatic recording function can start recording at a user-selectable decibel threshold of -6, -12, -24, or -48. If you are recording an instrument like the piano or drums, use the self-timer to start recording after a set time (5 or 10 seconds).
The overdubbing feature of the DR-07XP is perfect for layering a new performance over an existing track. When overdubbing, you can play an instrument or sing while playing a saved track. Both sounds will be merged into a new file, keeping the original intact.
An internal tone generator facilitates the synchronization of recorded files with the DR-07XP and the camera. When connecting the DR-07XP to a camera, an adjustable automatic tone is sent to the camera and recorded on the DR-07XP. The resulting tones can be used as a guide when synchronizing the files in video editing software.
