The last few years have seen many new arrivals in the way of pocket-sized digital audio recorders. This recent flood has opened up some pretty stiff competition between manufacturers of similar products with good reason. They all want a piece of the pie so to speak. For the most part, the game is a difficult one to play for these teams or companies trying to create the best one that will ultimately sell more than any other company and greatly increase their bottom line. Now, this is not the only reason these companies are producing this type of product, no siree. Another reason is to get their foot in the door with the consumer to show them that they make a superior product in this category so their other products are likely superior as well. It makes sense, doesn’t it?
Now, I want to talk about the Sony PCMM10 Portable Digital Recorder. Sony is typically considered to be a superior brand in any consumer electronic category, so why should this pocket recorder be any different? The PCMM10 is a 96 kHz/24-bit capable recorder with electret condenser stereo microphones, 4 GB of internal flash memory and a microSD/Memory Stick Micro Slot for expanded memory. Key features of the PCMM10 recorder include a built-in speaker, cross-memory recording, digital pitch control, digital limiter, low-cut filter, track mark functions, a 5-second pre-recording buffer and A-B repeat capability. It is also quite versatile in its supported media formats. It will record in both WAV and MP3 and playback WAV, MP3, WMA (Non DRM) and M4A (AAC-LC, Non-DRM). Trust, this thing is as handy as other handy portable digital recorders.
