Groundbreaking portable handheld recorder that is the first portable recorder to include 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi for transport control, file transfer, and audio streaming to the smartphone or PC. A free app for iOS and Android controls the transport and transfers files for instant upload. Other innovations like the new Scene Dial Presets for instant setup of common recording applications make it easier than ever to capture great-sounding recordings and share them online. A set of cardioid stereo condenser microphones is arranged in true XY pattern for ideal stereo imaging, while the high sound pressure design captures levels up to 120 dB SPL. The eight-position Scene Dial selects recording settings for typical situations, or can be set to full manual for greater control. The PGA (programmable gain amplifier) and Cirrus Logic CS42L52 audio codec are provided for low-noise, high-performance audio recording. Dual format recording function allows simultaneous recording of both WAV and MP3 files, while the pre-recording buffer records up to 2 seconds prior to starting recording. Other recording functions include automatic level optimization functions (Peak Reduction & Limiter), low-cut filter with four selectable frequencies (40/80/120/220Hz), automatic track increment function that can be set according to the application (level, elapsed time or manual), auto recording function that can detect the sound input signal level and automatically start recording, or automatic mark function that adds marks according to set conditions (peak detection or manual). Other functions include the speed change (VSA) function for adjusting the speed from 0.5 to 2.0 times (in 0.1 increments), A-B Loop playback function ideal for practicing music, reverb effect for vocal and instrument resonance, automatic power saving function that prevents unnecessary waste of battery power, resume function that retains the last stop position when power is turned back ON, or playing audio files created on computers. The recorder is further equipped with a built-in monaural speaker with an output of 0.3W, 128×128 pixel oversized graphic LCD with backlight and stereo mini headphone line output/headphone output connector. It provides USB 2.0 high-speed file transfer to a computer and is powered by four AA batteries, USB bus power, or AC adapter. It also provides a strap –hole and a tripod attachment screw-hole. A 4GB microSD card is included.
