The Coolest Field Recorder Ever!
How's this for cool? Sony's new PCM-D1 portable recorder combines trademark professional quality with a heavy-duty enclosure that will make you the envy of everyone in the field. The 2-track PCM-D1 was created for high-quality mobile recording in an array of applications including live sound, house of worship and theatrical performance, as well as by journalists in the field.

Lightweight field recorder with built-in stereo mics
The new Sony PCM-D1 recorder is lightweight and free of all drive mechanisms. It comes equipped with extraordinarily sensitive, built-in condenser microphones in an X/Y configuration so recording in the field is as easy as aiming and pressing a button. The PCM-D1 is designed with circuits that process stereo sound with virtually no extraneous noise.

The remarkable body of the PCM-D1 recorder is fashioned from pure 1mm-thick pressed titanium that's several times harder than the aluminum found on other machines. The recorder is powered by four AA nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries (batteries and charger are supplied). The PCM-D1's battery life during 96kHz operation is approximately 4 hours when using rechargeable AA batteries.
