Sony Debuts PCM-D1 Field Recorder at AES

Sony’s new PCM-D1 portable recorder 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.

«The PCM-D1’s level of quality is matched only by its extraordinary ‘cool’ factor,» said Paul Foschino, senior manager for professional audio in Sony Electronics’ Broadcast and Production Systems Division. «The body of this portable recorder is fashioned from pure 1mm thick pressed titanium that’s several times harder than alumite-treated aluminum. »

The new recorder is lightweight, free of all drive mechanisms, equipped with extraordinarily sensitive, built-in condenser microphones, and designed with circuits that process stereo sound with virtually no extraneous noise.
