  1. Roberta Harper

    I was surprised by the clear and natural voice on the recording. Without the noise haze and the characteristic microphone buzzing. This naturalness can be very useful. The sounds of a busy street have been completely eliminated.

    What can I say – a legend microphone. It’s definitely worth buying. By the way, it is also worth buying a Cloudlifter, which will boost the signal a little without raising the noise.

    The SM7B does need additional gain. You have to take this into account, in my case an inexpensive preamplifier, but as it turned out, very good in practice. Reliable,. user-friendly microphone. There is nothing to be afraid of him.

    I purchased the Tascam DR-07X Audio Recorder in August and have been using it ever since. As a customer advisor, I needed a reliable and efficient audio recorder for my work purposes. However, my experience with the DR-07X has been mixed.

    The built-in speakers of this audio recorder are a great feature as they allowed me to listen to the recordings right away without needing any other device. Additionally, the 17 hour battery life is impressive and useful when I need to be out of the office for an extended period of time.

    However, I found that the Tascam DR-07X Audio Recorder tends to produce low-quality sound, which has led to some recordings being unusable. Although the sound is much clearer when using external microphones. The device also seems to be fragile, and I worry about it breaking if I accidentally drop it or put too much pressure on it.

    I compared the DR-07X to other audio recorders, such as the Zoom H4n Pro and the Sony PCM-D100 and found that those devices deliver better sound quality and feel much sturdier.

    The delivery of the DR-07X to Los Angeles was quick and hassle-free. However, I would recommend exercising caution when handling the device, as it seems a bit fragile.

    Overall, the Tascam DR-07X Audio Recorder is a mixed bag. While some features are impressive, like the built-in speakers and the long battery life, I would recommend considering other options if sound quality is important for your work or projects.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What are the recommended recording levels for the Tascam DR-07X recorder?

The recommended recording level for the Tascam DR-07X recorder is -12dB to -6dB. This range allows for optimal audio quality and prevents clipping or distortion in your recordings. It's important to monitor your levels during recording and make adjustments as needed to stay within this range.

How do I properly connect my Tascam DR-07X audio recorder to a microphone for recording interviews or podcasts?

To connect your Tascam DR-07X audio recorder to a microphone for recording interviews or podcasts, follow these simple steps:

1. First, ensure that the microphone you have is compatible with the XLR input on the DR-07X. The Tascam DR-07X supports both dynamic and condenser microphones. Connect the XLR cable from your microphone to the INPUT 1 (XLR) jack on the DR-07X. Make sure that the connection is secure and tight. If you are using a dynamic microphone, set the mic level switch on the back of the DR-07X to "LOW". For condenser mics, make sure that they have an external power source (usually a battery or phantom power) connected to them. Then, select "PHANTOM" on the mic level switch. Next, set the input level for your microphone in the menu system of the DR-07X. Go to the REC MENU and select "ADJUST SETTINGS". From there, go to the "INPUT SETUP" section and adjust the level of your mic using the INPUT LEVEL knob or by selecting a specific preset (e. MIC"). Before hitting record, it's a good idea to test your audio levels to ensure that you are not experiencing any distortion or clipping. You can do this by pressing and holding the REC button until the red light on the front of the DR-07X starts blinking. This puts the recorder in PRE-REC mode, allowing you to monitor your input levels without recording any actual audio. Adjust the input level as needed using the INPUT LEVEL knob. Once you are satisfied with your audio levels, press and hold the REC button again to begin recording.

How do I properly connect my microphone to the Tascam DR-07X for recording?

To properly connect a microphone to the Tascam DR-07X, follow these steps:
1. Make sure your microphone has a 3. TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) output connector. This is a common connector for most dynamic and condenser microphones. Locate the MIC/LINE switch on the DR-07X. It's located on the right side of the unit, just above the record button. Set it to "MIC". Connect your microphone to the MIC IN jack on the DR-07X. Make sure the plug is fully seated in the connector. If you are using a dynamic microphone or a microphone with a built-in preamp, you may want to connect an external battery power supply (BPS) to the EXT BP jack. This is optional, but it can improve the audio quality by providing phantom power to condenser microphones. Turn on your microphone and the DR-07X, and adjust the input level using the LEVEL knob on the back of the unit. You may need to use an external amplifier or a microphone preamp if your microphone doesn't have enough gain. Make sure your recording levels are not clipping by monitoring them on the OLED display. Adjust the input level as necessary to ensure a clean and clear recording. Start recording using the record button, located in the center of the unit. The DR-07X supports up to 24-bit/96kHz audio resolution for high-quality recordings. When you're done recording, press the stop button and transfer your files to a computer or an external hard drive using the USB 2. Remember, always perform the task to the best of your ability to ensure optimal results.

How do I properly connect my microphone to the DR-07X recorder for optimal sound quality during audio recordings?

Here are the steps you can follow to properly connect your microphone to the TASCAM DR-07X recorder for optimal sound quality during audio recordings:

1. Make sure your microphone is compatible with the XLR input on the DR-07X. If your microphone uses a different connector, such as a TRS or mini-jack, you'll need an adapter to connect it to the recorder. Set the input level on the DR-07X for your microphone. You can do this by selecting the "Mic/Line" input mode and adjusting the input gain using the Level knob. It's important not to overdrive the input, as this can result in distortion and unwanted noise. If you're using a dynamic microphone or a microphone with an XLR connector that doesn't require phantom power, skip ahead to step 5. If your microphone requires phantom power (usually indicated by a "P48" or "48V" symbol on the body of the mic), turn this feature on in the DR-07X menu. This provides power to the microphone capsule and ensures optimal performance. Check that your microphone is securely connected to the XLR input on the DR-07X. Make sure the connector is inserted fully and properly aligned, with the pins facing up. Start recording and monitor the audio using headphones or the built-in speakers. If you're experiencing any unwanted noise, such as hum or hiss, check that your microphone cable isn't touching any metal surfaces or other sources of electromagnetic interference. You may also need to adjust the input level or position of the microphone to minimize background noise. Once you've finished recording, save the file to a compatible memory card and transfer it to your computer for editing and processing as needed.
