Microphone for DR-05X?
My Tascam DR-05X is arriving soon and I already have a decent speaker, the AOMAIS Life of which I will plug as line/out. Should I also invest in a microphone for my voice? If so, then what do you recommend? If not, then is the Tascam's built-in microphone that good? I mean for $89, I guess so.

The DR-05 built-in mics are quite good and you should not need anything else. The capsules are omni-directional, not cardioid pick-up pattern, so read up a bit on omni pattern mics so you'll be aware of how to use them best. If you want to use external mics you can use the microphone input with a break out cable to separate the inputs to their constituent left and right sides. If you chose to use external condenser mics then you'll have to use either self-powered (battery) condensers or provide a separate external phantom power supply for them. There are condenser mics specifically designed for this type of recorder or other device that use the unit's built-in power source. In that case you can turn on the microphone power in the Tascam Dr-05's menu selection. I do occasionally use mine with a headset lavalier microphone which does use the Tascam's internal microphone power. If all of this is a bit overwhelming to you as a new user, don't worry about an external microphone at this time. Use the unit as it comes for a while and you may never want to add an external microphone. |

OK, had it for a bit now. All I can say is WOW this device is great for eavesdropping... I can hear everything, even myself breathing.
