There are plenty of professions where audio quality is vital, which is why it’s important that you pick the best audio recorder possible. Whether you’re a musician, a filmmaker, or a journalist, it’s never been easier to get accurate, high-quality audio with today’s recorders.
Plenty of our devices have microphones, but microphones on phones and laptops rarely offer the quality you need. Anyone who is serious about audio needs dedicated gear that delivers clearer, crisper, and more accurate sound.
Some audio recorders feature tiny microphones that you can use in small spaces or clip to clothing, while others feature multiple inputs. Some have touchscreens and others have software designed for different recording scenarios, like podcasts, music, or interviewing. Most audio recorders use USB connectivity and record to SD or microSD cards, and some have in-built effects and professional preamps. Others connect directly to your studio’s mixing desk.
Digital field recorders are a subset of specialist devices. These have more sensitive microphones, and more actual microphones in general. They’re designed to capture noises from the world around us, so if you’re trying to record wildlife audio, natural sounds, or just the best sound possible, they’re the top option and worth the extra cash.
You won’t get much recording done if you don’t have all the accessories you need for your new recorder. Audio recorder accessories include extra batteries, shotgun microphones, shockproof mounts, windshields, and stereo mixers. It’s all about customizing your experience.
As ever, your first consideration when choosing an audio recorder or digital field recorder should be what you need the recorder for. Some devices are better for musicians, others are more compact and ideal for journalists, and there are rugged models for people who need to record in tough environments.
Give some thought to how many microphones and inputs you need, what effects and extra features are required, and how much you want to spend. Once you’re ready to make a purchase, explore our selection to find recorders and accessories from brands like Zoom, Tascam, and Sony.
