However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.
Key Features
Product Ref: 234593
Premium-grade sound on the move. The DR-05X from Tascam is a stereo handheld digital audio recorder with an integrated USB audio interface. Two internal condenser microphones deliver exceptional audio fidelity, with high-end clarity. They are capable of handling anything up to 125dB SPL, meaning you can record loud sounds without the fear of distortion.
The audio resolution ranges up to 96kHz/24-bit, capturing every nuance of your source audio. You can also record in multiple formats including WAV/BWF linear and MP3 files for longer recordings. A built-in monaural speaker allows you to check your files on the fly, providing a way to reference your recordings after you are done.
The ergonomic layout and simple, intuitive controls make recording a breeze. The revamped design allows you to operate the recorder with the press of a thumb. A quick menu button provides easy access to various important functions.
It comes jam-packed with useful tools to optimise your recordings. Auto recording will detect sound input signals and automatically start recording. This can be great for musicians and podcasters, virtually acting as a self-timer for recording audio on your own.
The portable size and studio-grade sound make the DR-05X perfect for a range of applications. From capturing vocal demos and guitar riffs to professional interviews, podcasting and even movie making; the DR-05X can do it all.
Connecting the unit to the PC makes it trigger USB audio interface mode. From here you can use the DR-X as a tool for voiceover work, dictation, livestreaming, song-writing and more. The condenser microphones acts as USB microphones without the need for complicated drivers.
It also features a range of functions optimised for filmmakers. The auto-tone function allows you to easily adjust the settings for one-site movie editing, making it a perfect companion for DSLR filmmaking. An internal slate tone generator produces tones for easy track making. An optional accessory kit (AK-DR11C) is available for connecting the recorder to your DSLR.
Two AA batteries are needed to power the DR-05X. But don’t be fooled by the power source, it provides you with an ultra-long battery capacity, ensuring you will never miss the perfect take. Using the built-in microphones (standard 2ch WAV, 44.1kHz/ 16bit format using alkaline batteries), the recorder can last up to 17.5 hours.
It can also be powered via USB mobile battery for super long extended use, or via USB bus power when connected as an audio interface. Additionally, there is an optional AC adapter (not included) for when you need continuous power for long recording sessions.
The Tascam AK-DR11G MK3 is purpose designed for use with the DR series of portable audio recorders from Tascam. The pack is comprised of four mains plug adapters to be used just about wherever in the world you are, a convenient soft carry case to keep your equipment safe during transit, three different USB cables to use with just about any DR series portable audio recorder, a USB mains adapter for easy charging and a windshield cover to eliminate any wind or background noises, giving you cleaner and more professional recordings.
