Portable Field Recorder with Large Stereo Mic and Wireless Remote Control

The Yamaha Pocketrak W24 is a compact and light weight field recorder. W24 features a large dual microphone assembly for outstanding 24bit/96kHz digital sound quality as well as a wireless remote control for ultra convenient recording. Pocketrak W24 is the perfect choice for effortless recording in the studio, on the stage or out in the field.

The wireless remote control supplied with the W24 Pocketrak makes recording practice sessions much more convenient. You can position the W24 at the optimum recording location and operate it from your playing position, so you can record and listen over and over without having to move.

The W24 far outdistances the competition with up to 38 hours of PCM recording and 56 hours of MP3 recording from a single alkaline AA battery. Now you can concentrate on the music, not the battery. The W24 has a built-in 2GB flash memory, providing 3 hours of PCM recording time (MP3: 13.5 hours). Using the optional 2GB microSD memory card doubles this amount. You can also use higher capacity cards.

The microphone on a pocket recorder is extremely important in determining sound quality, and the sensitivity and coverage of this X-Y dual mic assembly are truly superior. It takes full advantage of the recorder's 24bit/96kHz resolution. Yamaha Pocketrak W24 also features a peak limiter instantly detects these high levels to prevent overload and distortion. Yamaha worked with musicians in studios to ensure that the limiter function is optimized for music recording.

The built-in speaker provides a quick and convenient way to check your recordings. When the group is ready to start, no one wants to wait for the recorder. With the W24, recording can begin just 4.5 seconds after pressing the power button.
