Sony ICD-MX20 Memory Stick Pro Duo Digital Voice Recorder

Sony ICD-MX20 Memory Stick Pro Duo Digital Voice Recorder Feature

• Compact, handheld digital recorder
• Memory uses high-capacity IC chip
• Hybrid media card storage with Memory Stick Duo or Pro Duo
• Features advanced digital voice operated recording (VOR)
• Measures 1.18 x 0.67 x 4.23 inches (W x D x H)

Professional quality sound and high-level functionality are what distinguish the ICD-MX20 Memory Stick Pro Duo Digital Voice Recorder. Sony has designed a powerful, sleek recorder with a seamless aluminum body. The slim-style design is only one-half inch thick, with "record" and "pause" controls located on the side of the unit for easy operation. This tiny device fits neatly into a shirt pocket. Record grandma for an audio-genealogy or interview a famous celebrity -- whether you're recording for personal or professional reasons, you'll be extremely pleased.

The built-in 32 MB flash memory uses a high-capacity IC chip. This technology allows you to record over old messages again and again with distortion-free clarity. The standout feature on the ICD-MX20 is the hybrid storage. It gives you the option of using the built-in flash memory or utilizing Memory Stick Duo or Pro Duo media cards, providing virtually unlimited capacity. This is a great feature if you're at a long conference, and don't have time to download your files to a computer. Just put in a new Memory Stick media card, and keep recording. Each card can hold over 300 personalized folders, which makes organizing your audio a simple process.

The ICD-MX20 allows you to record at different quality levels. The high-quality, two-channel STLP recording mode allows up to 165 minutes of recording. This is perfect for recording interviews that you may want to reproduce in digital format. If you're just taking personal audio notes, switch the voice recorder to LP mode and take full advantage of over 11 hours of lower quality recording.

The advanced digital voice operated recording (VOR) feature actually stops recording during silent pauses, saving valuable recording time. Thanks to the digital buffer, this intelligent machine begins recording again without missing a single syllable. The digital recorder also comes equipped with USB connectivity for high speed copying of files to a PC.

What's in the Box
ICD-MX20 voice recorder, PC download software, 2 AAA batteries, USB cable, carrying case, and stereo earphones. Includes Sony ICD-MX20 Memory Stick Digital Voice Recorder PC Download Software 2 AAA batteries USB Cable RK-G136 Carrying Case Stereo Earphone.
