Supports high-quality linear PCM 192kHz/24-bit high-resolution recording and playback
Because the original sound is recorded as it is, live instrumental and live performance recordings as well as outdoor live recordings can be recorded in realistic, high-quality sound.
The sound source can be recorded in uncompressed linear PCM format at 192 kHz/24 bits.
Built-in movable high-sensitivity stereo microphone
The "X-Y position" enables recording of natural and deep sound at a close distance for solo performances or 2-3 person sessions, while the "Wide stereo position" provides a spacious stereo effect at a distance from the sound source, such as when recording a large group performance in a hall with a chorus or orchestra. Wide Stereo Position
The "Zoom Position" can be used for clear recording of the target sound, and by changing the direction of the movable microphone, the appropriate sound can be collected according to the scene.
High-sensitivity, wide-bandwidth unidirectional microphone
The high sensitivity and wide bandwidth allow for rich recording of low frequency sounds and high frequency sounds including overtones of violins.
Two XLR/TRS combo jacks for external balanced input
Two XLR/TRS input jacks allow connection to music equipment such as mixers and electronic instruments such as electric guitars.
In addition, phantom power (48V) supply is supported, so condenser microphones can also be connected. In addition, a push-lock mechanism prevents cable disconnection.
High-performance dual AD converters for high signal-to-noise ratio
Two AK4558 high-performance audio codec chips manufactured by Asahi Kasei Electronics are installed to achieve a wide dynamic range and high signal-to-noise ratio.
Low noise and high sound quality achieved by employing high-performance components and optimizing the circuit board layout
High-quality sound circuits that are less susceptible to noise are realized by minimizing adverse effects on sound quality.
Large-capacity capacitors realize high-quality power supply
Two large-capacity capacitors (3300 μF) are used to suppress power supply fluctuations during operation and stabilize the power supply to achieve highly accurate, high-quality sound recording.
Recording function
16GB internal memory for long-time recording in high sound quality
Approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes of recording is possible on the main unit at 192 kHz/24-bit sound quality. Direct recording to external memory (SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card (sold separately)) is also possible.
Digital Limiter" to prevent sound distortion caused by high volume
Using two AD converters, a 12dB lower signal is always secured separately from the circuit for normal audio. This prevents sound distortion by going back to that point in time and replacing the recorded data in the event of a sudden loud sound input.
High S/N mode" for clear recording of even the smallest sounds
The AD converter mechanism used in digital limiters is applied to reduce noise inside the device when analog signals are converted to digital signals.
By replacing the recorded data in the part that is buried in the noise when recording small sounds, the recorded noise is reduced and even the smallest sound is recorded clearly.
Pre-recording function for recording from a short time before
When the REC button is pressed to put the unit into recording standby, prerecording begins. Up to 5 seconds of audio is stored in the memory.
Since recording can start 5 seconds before the time when the REC PAUSE button is pressed, it prevents missed recordings even at short notice.
Cross-memory recording" switches memory to continue recording.
When the remaining capacity of the internal memory or memory card runs out in the middle of recording, it automatically switches to the other memory to continue recording.
There is no need to panic when the remaining capacity of the main unit or external memory is low.
LCF (Low Cut)" for reducing noise such as projector and wind noise
Filters audio at the following frequencies to reduce noise from air conditioning equipment and outdoor wind noise.
75Hz: Attenuates audio frequencies below 75Hz.
150Hz: Attenuates audio frequencies below 150Hz.
Playback Function
High-quality analog headphone amplifier with volume control function
Adopts high-quality sound analog headphone amplifier "MAX9723". While supporting button-type digital volume control, it has an analog volume inside the device, which enables higher quality sound reproduction than a typical digital volume.
Wireless playback with Bluetooth(R) audio devices
Recorded files and music content can be played back wirelessly by connecting to Bluetooth(R) compatible audio devices such as speakers and headphones.
NFC(R) is also included for easy one-touch connection.
Easy Search" function to quickly find the place you want to listen
The Easy Search function allows you to quickly find the place where you want to start playback. By setting the fast forward/reverse interval, you can also quickly find the part you want to listen to, even for long recordings such as live recordings.
Equalizer" for switching sound quality
You can set the sound quality to your preference.
On: Enables the equalizer function.
Off: Disables the equalizer function.
Custom: Allows you to freely set the sound level for 5 bands.
Key Control" to adjust pitch
Adjusts the pitch of the playback sound by 13 semitone steps up or down (#1 - #6 (in increments of #1), 0, ♭1 - ♭6 (in increments of ♭1)) without changing the playback speed.
This is useful when practicing singing along with accompaniment.
DPC (Digital Pitch Control)" to adjust playback speed
Playback speed can be adjusted between 0.25x and 3.00x. In this case, the pitch is digitally processed to playback at a level close to the natural pitch.
Track Mark" for immediate playback from the desired position
Track marks can be added to mark the head or split position during playback. Simply press the track mark button during recording/playback/pause, and a track mark will be recorded in the recorded section.
Playback is possible at any time from the marked position.
Other Functions
Easy recording level adjustment
Three lamps (-20dB/-12dB/over) indicate the peak level of the left and right channels.
Indication of peak levels for each of the left and right channels
Analog recording level dials that can be set independently for left and right channels
Supports headphone output audio channel switching
When monitoring or playing back recordings, only the channel you want to listen to can be selected.
REC Remote" for remote control via smartphone
By installing the dedicated recording application "REC Remote" on your smartphone, you can control the recording of the linear PCM recorder from your smartphone using the Bluetooth(R) function.
This is convenient because recording operations can be performed from a distance with the linear PCM recorder fixed in place, so no noise is recorded during operation.
SOUND FORGE Audio Studio 12 software for PCs
SOUND FORGE Audio Studio 12 allows you to playback and edit tracks recorded with a linear PCM recorder or imported from music CDs, etc., and audio files imported from a PC.
You can also create your favorite music CDs and enjoy them in a variety of ways!
