4-Recording; Selecting File Format/Sampling Frequency/Type, And Maximum File Size - Tascam DR-05 Owner's Manual

In addition to using the built-in microphone, you can
record using an external microphone or record the
output signal from a mixer or other audio source. You
can select among MP3 (44.1/48 kHz, 32–320 kbps) and
WAV (44.1/48/96 kHz, 16/24-bit) audio recording formats.
As the unit is compatible with the BWF format for
WAV files, marks added to the WAV files during
recording are available when playing back the files
using a BWF compliant software, etc.
