FRONT PANEL RIGHT SIDE PANEL REAR PANEL (Actual size) Advanced Recording Capability In Your Pocket There are so many compelling reasons to record band rehearsals or music lessons for later review that a portable recorder is an essential item. Recording conferences and meetings has become a matter of course too. Naturally, the smaller and lighter that recorder is, while delivering top-class sound quality, the better. Weighing only 1.7 ounces (49 grams) complete with battery, the Yamaha POCKETRAK 2G Pocket Recorder is an unbeatable choice. It’s only a half-inch (13 millimeters) thick and will slip unobtrusively into a shirt pocket. But this diminutive, lightweight package contains a large 2-gigabyte memory plus advanced digital audio technology that lets you record and play back with outstanding quality. In addition to a CD-quality linear PCM recording mode that lets you record up to 3 hours of music, there are a number of MP3 modes that provide significantly longer recording times. The supplied long-lasting rechargeable battery can keep the POCKETRAK 2G running for up to 19 hours continuously when recording in MP3 mode. Slide out the built-in USB connecter and connect the POCKETRAK directly to your computer to transfer files back and forth, and use the bundled CUBASE AI digital audio workstation software to edit and enhance your recordings with pro-level control. If sound is important to you, there’s simply no reason not have a Yamaha POCKETRAK 2G Pocket recorder with you at all times. Only 1.7 Ounces and 1/2 Inch Thick —Take it Everywhere! The POCKETRAK 2G is so light and compact that there’s no reason not to take it with you wherever you go. In addition to recording rehearsals and lessons for later review and study, you’ll always be prepared to capture the sounds of nature or the city, samples for audio production, meetings, lectures, and much more. 2 GB Memory for High Audio Quality and Extended Recording Times The POCKETRAK 2G features a capacious 2 gigabytes of memory built in so that it can deliver outstanding sound quality as well as extended recording times as required. When you want maximum sonic quality in stereo you can record using the linear PCM mode for up to 3 hours and 10 minutes with full CD quality (44.1 kHz, 16 bits). High-sensitivity Tilt-up Microphone In addition to superior basic performance, the built-in stereo microphone can be tilted upward when the POCKETRAK 2G is placed on a desk or table to minimize sound degradation due to reflection from the surface as well as pickup of mechanically transmitted noise. This high-performance microphone delivers excellent sound quality and signal-to-noise performance in a variety of recording situations. Level Meters and ALC for Optimum Record levels For maximum quality when recording music you’ll want to set the record level manually. In manual mode the record level can be adjusted in 31 steps (0-30), and the POCKETRAK 2G has level meters and a peak indicator that make setting optimum levels quick and easy. For speech you can let the POCKETRAK 2G set the record level for you automatically by simply switching the ALC (Automatic Level Control) function ON. When ALC is ON the POCKETRAK 2G will automatically maintain the best recording level for maximum clarity and intelligibility. Note: Due to the characteristics of the internal memory, recording times may be slightly shorter in some cases.
