Manufacturer's Description for Tascam DR07 Portable Digital Recorder

Tascam's DR07 brings portable digital recording to an even smaller, more affordable package. A pair of highly-sensitive built in mics captures a wide stereo image, recording in either MP3 or 16/24-bit WAV format. The DR07 is powered by AA batteries and it transfers files to a computer using a high-speed USB 2.0 connection. The versatile recorder even includes a windscreen, tripod stand mount and 2GB SD card to start recording right away.

Musicians will appreciate the playback functions of the DR07, including the ability to loop MP3s and slow them down without changing the pitch. External microphones and sources can be recorded through the mic/line input, and the recorder offers analog limiting, low cut and auto gain setting for great-sounding audio. But for great-sounding recordings, the compact DR-07 is all you need.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Good quality sound reproduction but power hungry."

Sound: Not having an external speaker is an inconvenience. When you want to review what you've just recorded and listen to it with somebody else, using the earphones is just not the same as hearing it audibly. The sound is great. VERY sensitive. Don't shout or put the unit right on top of the source. Be careful about percussive noise. i.e. don't touch or move the device while recording. Get a short photographic tripod to screw into the unit's built in mount. It'll keep it from picking up unwanted vibration say if you just place it upon a table while recording. The display is nice but the system of long number readouts for identifying tracks is tedious and makes laborious filing and categorizing the individual files that you want to keep on your computer. The biggest drawback of all is the power consumption. Two double A (AA) batteries are drained in a HURRY. You MUST get an accessory AC transformer power supply whe you are using this to work at your computer while transfering files or you will personally be filling your local landfill with all of the spent alkaline used batteries that you consume. In a very short time you will be spending many times the purchase price of the DR07 in spent batteries. You don't have to buy THEIR accessory power source at over $21 With all of the electronic devices most people own nowadays, you might have an unused transformer. Just be sure the power rating is the same and that , of course, the tiny connector will fit into the DR07 port. It is sub-miniature and will fool you! Of you can't find one then i guess you'll nave no choice but to break out the bucks for the applicable AC accessory power transformer that Tascam offers. Feature: I shore wisht it had an external speaker! Otherwise though the unit is so compact and well thought out. the buttons are mostly large and accessable for even the pudgiest of fingers. Ease of Use: Initial controls to start and stop are very easy with large buttons . other controls not so intuitive and will take a short learning curve to master. Would be nice to have a website with product info and, why not, a few demo videos to help us come up to speed with this unit and to take full advantage of the features that otherwise, many will fail to learn and toutilize for getting the finer aspects of recording with the DR07. TASCAM are you listening? Quality: No problems yet. I recommend a unit sized soft zipper case to protect this unit. It will help preserve it when you "throw it into a gig-bag along with other cords and gear so it won't get dirty or bunged up! I found something in my rummaging around the house that not only fits but has an elastic band that holds the recorder in the bag so I can open the case for use without even taking it out of the zippered case. Value: This is a powerful tool worth every penny at this price. Much better than any other personal recording device I have ever used. The 2 gig card seems inexhaustible. Ample memory for every use. Especially if you are disciplined and dump your files regularly to file them on your computer and free up the space on your card. Or just get multiple cards. But you must be disciplined about marking and filing and categorizing or you will soon be up to your ears in files that you won't have time to review and soon forget what they are. This is called being in the Doo - Doo. Manufacturer Support: I do have questions about the setting up and accessing files but have not made contact with the mfctr. TASCAM has a long and respected track-record (no pun intended). They sort of pioneered the home recording industry way before its current crest of popularity. The Wow Factor: I originally liked the muted gray-black unit as it was understated and professional looking. But I had to return it almost immediately due to a sound quality flaw and when I went to return/replace it they were out of the black and only had the special holiday production run in RED. But I needed the recorder and got it anyway unsure if I would be happy with this choice. But I got accustomed to it and even like it now. (So I keep in a dark zipper case) Overall: I wish I knew about the enormous power consumption

Tascam DR07 Recorder Customer Review

Sound: Excellent sensitivity and sound quality. Feature: the only "accessory" is the 2 GB SD card - which works. Ease of Use: the controls are well positioned and easy to use. Big readout is great, with nice meters. Quality: the case is light plastic. This helps keep the weight down but the device would probably not survive a fall. It would certainly be destroyed if someone stepped on it! Value: at $139 it's a steal. Manufacturer Support: no rating The Wow Factor: the unit looks nice - very professional

Style of Music: Electronic/ambient
