| Content | Stereo Handheld Audio Recorder and USB Audio Interface
The DR-05X offers portable, high-quality stereo recording in MP3 or WAV format – including 96-kHz/24-bit high-resolution audio – using microSD, microSDHC or microSDXC media. A pair of omni-directional mics handles up to 125 dB SPL with the sensitivity to capture every detail. Users can also use their own microphone or line-level source through the mini-jack stereo input which includes plug-in power for microphones that need it.
The DR-05X is quick and easy to use with one thumb. Operations like recording, adjusting levels, deleting bad takes and adding marks are only a button press away. Other features like low-cut filtering, Variable Speed Audition, chromatic tuner and others more can be chosen from the multilingual menu (English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Russian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese). Three different auto level modes (Limiter, Peak Reduction, Auto Level) can help to prevent accidental distortion while recording. There is also a Level Align function that allows to smooth out any sudden volume jumps during playback, and a built-in speaker is provided for quick check-back. Users may apply one out of six reverb effects to the input or output signal, and an Overdub feature allows to record other parts such as a guitar solo over a recording previously made such as at a rehearsal studio. Overdubbing creates a new file, leaving the original file unaffected, making it easy to re-record.
The new Dictation Mode enables the user to jump back and forth in preselected increments while playing back a file. It can be combined with speed control and a special dictation EQ making it useful for transcribing minutes recordings, for example. The new tape-style Overwrite mode with one level of undo allows users to select a drop-in time and replace part of an existing recording.
Apart from handheld recording, the DR-05X can also be used as a USB audio interface with two inputs and outputs, making it a tool for voiceover work, live streaming, podcasting and songwriting with studio-quality audio.
Two AA batteries can power the recorder for more than 17 hours, even while recording at CD quality. Operation by USB bus power or an optional AC adapter (PS-P520E) is also possible.

- The recording times shown above are estimates. They might differ depending on the SD/SDHC card in use.
- The recording times shown above are not continuous recording times, but rather they are the total possible recording times for the SD/SDHC card.
- If recorded in mono in WAV files, the maximum recording time will be double the figures above.
- For dual and 4-channel recording in WAV/BWF format, the recording times are about half those shown above.

The Apogee X-VID-SYC-GEN Video Expansion Card is designed to fit in the X-Series card slot located in the rear panel of the Apogee Big Ben Master Digital Clock (sold separately). Allows all functions to be controlled from the Big Ben user interface and generates video and provides genlocking function. In genlocking mode the source video-signal will be re-clocked and regenerated, maintaining the same
field and colorburst phase information, but stripped of its line information and replaced by video-black. In slave mode the board will auto-detect the incoming video-standard and configure itself accordingly. The video input is of very high tolerance and will even lock to unstable sources like VCR's.
The Apogee X-VID-SYC-GEN Video Expansion Board has three modes of operation.
•Master mode: The user selects the video format on the frontpanel of the Big Ben. The Big Ben will slave to the generated video signal
•Attended Slave mode: The video board will be configured to autodetect and genlock to the incoming video. The Big Ben will slave to the incoming video signal
•Unattended Slave mode: The video board will be configured to autodetect and genlock to the incoming video. The Big Ben is not clocking to the Video board and therefore both will function independently
Features - Support for PAL, NTSC and 60 Hz B&W standards
- One composite video input and three composite video outputs
- Can operate as a master black-burst generator
- Can operate as genlocking slave device

The DNRP-WRC provides two button record control and visual status indication of a connected Denon® DN-F450R/F650R recorder.
The mouse sized unit, once connecte to the recorder using its integral 5 metre lead, can be placed in a convenient location on a board/ meeting room table to allow the recording of conferences and discussions. Visual indication of recorder status is provided by high brightness red and green indicators located around the RECORD button, which show STOP, PLAY, PLAY PAUSE, PLAY F.FWD, PLAY F.REV, CARD ERROR, RECORD and RECORD PAUSE. The two button control allows the recorder to be placed into record mode, create a new record mark and stop the recording process.
The DNRP-WRC is primarily for the simple control of audio recording in areas where conversations, discussions or conferences are taking place. The unit allows the DNF450R/F650R recorder to be placed out of sight to prevent media tampering or access to all the recorder controls.
- Simple unobtrusive controller for the recording of audio in board/meeting rooms
- Easy connection to Denon DN-F450R/F650R recorder serial (RS232) port
- Provides bright visual indication of STOP, PLAY, PLAY PAUSE, PLAY F.FWD, PLAY F.REV, CARD ERROR, RECORD and RECORD PAUSE
- RECORD and STOP buttons allow simple control without the need to access the recorder
- Ergonomic visually pleasing design with internal weight to prevent table slip
- Ultra low power consumption, no need for additional power adaptor
- Fully sealed label provides protection against drink spills
