The Sony PCM-D50 handheld audio recorder offers top quality built-in stereo microphones, brilliant design, detailed recording resolution, long battery life, and a glorious collection of features. It has only 4GB of internal memory, exclusive Sony Memory Stick enlargement, no direct recording of MP3 files, and no straightforward way to attach pro 0.25 -inch or XLR audio wires.
If you are looking to make great mobile recordings without lugging around a unwieldy PC recording rig, the Sony PCM-D50 offers an unbeatable blend of design, recording quality, battery life, and features at a justifiable cost.
The Sony PCM-D50′s design is harking back to an old cassette Walkman, measuring three inches wide by six inches tall by 1.25 inches deep and weighing about 0.8 pound. It’s actually not slim when judged by the standards of today’s ultra slim MP3 players, but when you remember the Sony PCM-D50′s design includes a couple of top quality condenser microphones, storage for 4 AA batteries, and a Memory Stick growth slot, it isn’t difficult to pardon its girth.
In truth, we are pleased to see out sized features on the PCM-D50, like the distinguished recording-level adjustment knob and the metal-reinforced microphone cage.
The Sony PCM-D50′s built-in microphones are not only a striking design feature, but they are also some of the finest sounding mics we’ve heard on a conveyable recorder. A firm metal guard rail extends round the front of the Sony PCM-D50′s microphones, serving as both protection and as a form for the optional microphone windscreen.
