Olympus has added three new models to its lineup of professional-grade digital audio recorders, the Directrec product line. The new DR-1200, DR-2200 and DR-2300 offer programmability, ease of use and superior audio reproduction while introducing new ergonomics and microphone performance for busy professionals in legal and medical practices, authors and in other office environments.
M-Audio today unveiled the MicroTrack II, a handheld 24/96 digital audio recorder. The device records to CompactFlash cards and Microdrives, providing 48V of phantom power to condenser microphones so that musicians can make use of the device while writing songs, playing practice sessions, and gigs. The MicroTrack II records in 24-bit/96KHz format, and can take signals from the quarter-inch TRS inputs, or the S/PDIF input, with sound monitoring available through the RCA or eighth-inch headphone jack. M-Audio is selling the MicroTrack II for $400, which includes an electret T-shaped microphone, software, a carrying pouch, an eighth-inch stereo extension cable with lapel clip, a power supply and USB cable.
