About this unit

A pocket-sized two-track handheld recorder with a built-in 90-degree X/Y stereo microphone that records exclusively in 32-bit float, so levels never need to be set and clipping is effectively eliminated. It records to microSD cards up to 1TB, runs about 10 hours on two AAA batteries, and can act as a USB-C microphone while still recording to card. Used units should be checked for the battery door, mic grille condition and a clean microSD slot; the recorder is tripod-mountable.
