Professional digital audio recording just got far more portable with the introduction of American Audio's ultra compact Pocket Recorder. Incredibly affordable and easy to use, the Pocket Recorder records both WAV and MP3s formats for crystal-clear onsite recordings every time — even in the most remote corners of the world.
The battery-operated recorder features 2 built-in condenser microphones and stereo audio inputs for true stereo sound. The unit also comes with 2 small lavalier microphones that are perfect for recording interviews. Its interface is specially designed so you can easily switch between mic, guitar and line-in recording sources. And with an extremely low suggested retail price of just $209.95, the Pocket Recorder represents a tremendous value to a wide range of end-users.
"The amazing new Pocket Recorder is ideal for musicians, singers, DJs, journalists — anyone who doesn't have a big budget or a lot of audio gear but needs a digital recorder," said Tom Freret, national sales manager for American Audio. "Even videographers can use it to add high-resolution background music and voice-over narratives to their flicks."
Featuring a 128MB of internal memory, the Pocket Recorder records pristine-sounding audio files directly onto an SD card. It can accommodate SD cards up to 4GB. A USB port allows you to connect the device to a computer, so you can playback or manipulate the files any way you want once recording is completed.
Other handy features include a volume control for input and output level adjustments, a stereo earphone jack and DC power in. The Pocket Recorder operates on 2 AA batteries or via a DC 5V adapter (not included).
"This convenient and powerful little device from American Audio is priced a lot lower than other portable digital recorders," Freret said. "With professional sound quality and such amazing ease of use, the Pocket Recorder represents a great value for anyone who needs to create stereo recordings outside of a traditional studio setting."
The Pocket Recorder measures 6"L x 3.5"W x 1"H and weighs only 6 lbs., so you can take it virtually anywhere you go. The MSRP of the Pocket Recorder is $209.95 For more information, visit their web site at www.americanaudio.us.
