Description

The Sony PCM-D1 portable audio recorder is ideal for capturing live musical and theatrical performances, or for journalists recording in the field. Features include 96 kHz-24 bit recording capability, 4GB internal Flash Memory, removable Memory Stick Pro High-Speed storage (optional) and a built-in USB port compatible with Macintosh and Windows/PC operating systems.

The PCM-D1 is lightweight, free of all drive mechanisms, equipped with highly sensitive electret condenser microphones and designed with circuits that process stereo sound with virtually no extraneous noise. The body of this portable recorder is made of pressed titanium that's ten times harder than alumite-treated aluminum.

Features

Ideal for creating superior high-quality stereo recordings
Offers solid-state storage - free of drive mechanisms
Built-in X-Y electret condenser microphones
The PCM-D1's electret condenser microphones have extraordinary high sensitivity and low noise characteristics. All microphone casing parts are cut from metal and fit together nearly seamlessly
Superior Audio Signal Path: The microphone amplifier provided for each channel is the Analog Devices AD797, which boasts ultra-low noise and distortion. A variable gain circuit is adopted for amplitude control, thus improviing the actual signal to noise ratio
Outstanding Build Quality: The circuitry of the PCM-D1 is protected by a body made of 1 mm thick pure titanium. By means of a pressing process called "drawing", titanium is shaped into a box to achieve a body rigidity that cannot be obtained through bending or using pressed aluminum
Simple Uploading to Computer: The PCM-D1 conforms to the USB 2.0 Mass Storage Device standard and this recorder's native recording file format is .WAV. This means recordings can be rapidly uploaded to a computer and used in conjunction with most common audio production software
High Quality Signal Processing: The PCM-D1 offers comprehensive signal processing features for location recording including a unique limiter function, a 200 Hz high pass filter and SBM (Super Bit Mapping) noise shaping
