The Best Digital Voice Recorder.

During rigorous testing by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute, this digital voice recorder proved to be the best for its superior playback clarity and recording distance. Tested recorders were placed 20' away from a table radio and each recorded a song for 30 seconds. While other models demonstrated poor sound quality, this one consistently played crisp, clear recordings with minimal background noise. It uses Variable Control Voice Actuator technology to detect a pre-determined volume level, eliminating silent pauses and a low cut filter to minimize low-frequency sounds, allowing you to record voices without obscuring Ps, Bs, and Ss up to 40' away, 10' more than the nearest tested model. The recorder is easy to set up for initial recording and its built-in 256MB memory allows it to record up to 66 1/2 hours in LP mode. It has a USB port that allows you to download recordings to your PC. Two AA batteries (required) provide up to 32 hours of operation. 4 1/2" L x 1 1/2" W x 1/2" D. (2 3/4 oz.)
