TASCAM smashes the barrier to solid-state recording with the SS-R05, a compact new recorder for installation and live recording. Based on TASCAM's top-selling SS-R1, the SS-R05 strips down to basics to reach a price point within reach of any installation or house of worship.

The SS-R05 has unbalanced RCA analog in and out, as well as coaxial S/PDIF digital I/O. It records to Compact Flash cards in MP3 or WAV format, 16-bit or 24-bit. Control is available through a wired remote control. Contractor-friendly features include power-on play for music playback install and auto track increment by time or level for house of worship and meeting recording. A PS/2 keyboard input allows tracks to be named on the card.
