On Location

With its compact size, the DR-05XP can travel anywhere for exceptional field recording. Choose from four different low cut filter options for getting rid of unwanted noises. As a companion for video, the DR-05XP can attach easily to tripods and the Auto Tone output for cameras makes post-production a simple task.
