Tascam DR-07XP: Handheld Stereo Recorder with 32-bit Float Support and Package Content

The Tascam DR-07XP is a compact and easy-to-use handheld stereo recorder designed for musicians, podcasters, journalists, and field recordists, offering high-quality audio capture capabilities. The "P" signifies that this model is typically a package version that comes with a range of useful accessories in addition to the standard DR-07X. With its 32-bit float recording feature to meet modern recording standards, it offers flawless audio capture by eliminating dynamic range issues.

Main Recording Features (Shared with DR-07X):

1. 32-bit Float Recording Support:

   • Wide Dynamic Range: The ability to record without distortion or adding background noise even at extremely high or low sound levels. This provides the flexibility to adjust audio levels in post-production without worrying about gain settings during recording.

   • No Recording Clipping: In 32-bit float recording, audio clipping is practically impossible, making it ideal for sudden and loud noises.

   • Easy Post-Production: Recorded audio files can be easily adjusted and optimized in editing software.

2. Adjustable Stereo Condenser Microphones:

   • The DR-07XP features two high-quality built-in condenser microphones that can be adjusted between AB (Wide Stereo) and XY (Focused Stereo) configurations to suit different recording scenarios.

   • AB Configuration: Suitable for capturing a wider stereo field and better ambient sounds.

   • XY Configuration: Offers a clearer stereo image and focuses on the sound source in the center.

3. Dual Recording Mode:

   • The device can record simultaneously at two different levels (normal and a backup lower level), providing a safety copy in case your main recording is unexpectedly overloaded.

4. Built-in Effects and Functions:

   • Limiter and Low-Cut Filter: Used to prevent sudden audio spikes during recording and reduce low-frequency noise (wind, handling noise, etc.).

   • Overdub: Allows adding a new layer of sound over an existing recording.

   • Reverb Effect: Internal reverb effects are available to add atmosphere to recordings.

5. Ease of Use and Ergonomics:

   • Simple user interface, comfortable one-hand operation, and physical buttons.

   • Backlit LCD display.

   • Durable and portable body.

6. Flexible Connectivity Options:

   • Headphone/Line Output (3.5mm Stereo Mini Jack): For monitoring recordings or sending audio to another device.

   • USB Connection: For file transfer and using the device as a USB Audio Interface with a computer.

   • MicroSD/SDHC/SDXC Card Slot: For recording storage.

The main difference separating the DR-07XP model from the DR-07X is that it is typically offered as a package with additional accessories. The package content may vary by region or seller, but commonly includes:
