AUDIO RECORDERS When choosing a
recorder, you need to consider its size,
battery life, type and capacity of media
used. You also need to consider the digital
file formats supported, as well as the ease of
menu navigation and operation.
In the past year, there has been very rapid introduction of clever, compact,
high quality digital audio recording devices utilizing a wide range of digital
media, both fixed and removable. Some units have built-in microphones,
others have professional, balanced XLR inputs for external microphones.
Devices may be optimized for music or for voice applications (lecture/
conference), or may be capable of both applications. Some units offer
features specifically for learning songs or a language by having variable
speed playback capability.
For installed applications, you may need a rackmounted recorder. You may
require pre-recorded message playback with remote control capability,
need networking control and file sharing capability or require other spe-
cialized features for a classroom application.
