It records in PCM, a high-quality format that keeps more detail in voices. Its 8 GB memory holds up to 1,152 hours, depending on the quality setting you choose.
Voice-activated mode starts recording when it detects voices. You can adjust the sensitivity and levels to suit a quiet office or a busy room. Each file has a date and time stamp.
Listen right on the recorder with the included stereo earphones. Or connect it to a Mac or Windows computer with USB to save and share files. A phone connect adapter and an aux cable are included, and external microphones are sold separately.
