From the Manufacturer
The PCM-D1 Portable Linear PCM Recorder takes mobile recording beyond the boundaries of typical field recording, making it the ideal choice for capturing live musical or theatrical performances, for recording sound effects, or for journalists in the field. With built-in, highly sensitive, electret condenser microphones; a circuit design that processes stereo sound with virtually no extraneous noise; and 96 kHz 24-bit recording quality, this recorder is capable of capturing even the most subtle performance nuances. Convenience features such as a 4 GB internal Flash Memory, a slot for Memory Stick PRO™ (High Speed) storage media, a USB port, four AA size nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries, and a battery charger make this unit super-equipped for field recording. Free of drive mechanisms, this lightweight, portable, and rugged recorder is audio refined – and cool redefined.
