Customer Review: Excellent Value Recorder
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this unit to be an excellent value. It is a nice compact size, an excellent combination of features without being too pricey. You can plug it into your USB port and just copy the audio files right off the device without installing any additional software at all. I love that part as I hate installing any odd software I don't absolutely need. It simply looks like a USB style thumb drive to your computer. The audio files are standard MP3 format, so they can be used with just about any modern audio tools. I found the built in omnidirectional microphones (stereo) to be very sensitive and works great in a typical meeting room or office. If you are using it in an environment with lots of background noise, then you might want to use an external directional microphone to help eliminate any extra background noise.
To the reviewer who gave the item a bad review because it did a poor job at recording music... a few points. One, this is a Voice Recorder and is clearly marketed as such. So unless you checked the manufacturers specifications to see if it is rated to record the type of audio range that would be in music instead of just voice, then you should have realized this type of device might not be suited for that type of recording. You should not fault the product if you did not research it properly. Second, if it does support such a range for general audio recording, just because you can plug a line into it, does not mean that you are going to be getting a good recording. The input jack on this unit defaults for use with microphones. You can go into the menu and change it to Line Level Audio. But if you really expect to get the best recording quality from external sources (for this or ANY recording device), then you need an intermediary device inline with the signal to adjust the line impedance and/or signal levels so it matches what the recording device is expecting. Otherwise your signal and input may be mismatched and at best your recording will be poor or distorted. This device does provide active audio monitoring with a headset, so you certainly could have checked signal quality if you were using a headset with it and should have been able to get much better results with it.
