Details

Professional quality sound and high-level functionality are what distinguish the ICD-BM1 Digital Voice Recorder. Sony has designed a powerful, sleek recorder with a seamless aluminum body. Whether you're recording grandma for an audio-genealogy or interviewing a famous celebrity, this device makes super-pro recordings and is built to last.
It features up to 347 minutes of recording time on the supplied 16 MB memory stick and a maximum sampling rate of 44.1 kHz. The memory stick is removable so you can replace it with a larger capacity stick, or simply keep an empty stick handy in case you run out of memory. Once you record something through the mic, the sampling rate allows you to transfer the sounds into a digital format. This recorder features new LPEC codec with improved frequency response to deliver the highest quality sound. Transferring recorded sounds to digital format is an excellent, responsible way to preserve important interviews. Plus, it allows you to upload, download, email, and manipulate your recordings digitally on your computer.

The ICD-BM1 features a slide control switch for quick, responsive recording; a hi/lo mic sensitivity switch for recording in quiet or noisy environments; a built-in microphone and playback speaker; and digital overwrite/cut function for on-the-spot audio editing. All this functionality is powered by two AAA batteries that run for up to 10 hours continuously.

Finally, with the voice email function, you can record spoken email messages and send them later as audio attachments. The included software will help you master this functionality. This recorder is also compatible with Dragon Naturally Speaking Preferred Voice-To-Print Software and has USB connectivity for high speed copying of files to a PC.
