Sony PCM-D100, portable audio recorder for outdoor shows and events

The Sony PCM-D100 line recorder is DSD compatible and features 32 GB flash memory. An ideal device for all types of shows such as concerts and theatrical performances.

Sony will go on sale at the beginning of 2014 the PCM-D100 linear recorder. A portable system with integrated flash memory 32 GB that reproduces sound in high quality, with a fidelity close to organic audio, and is ideal for live and outdoor shows such as concertos, theatrical performances and electronic news production.

The PCM-D100 supports DSD 1 bit y 2,8 MHz, a format that allows the recording of sound sources using digital signals, but that resembles analog waves. It also supports audio recording and playback of 192 kHz/PCM ruler they 24 high resolution bits. The unit can play delicate and ultra-high range musical components, with great audio quality from low range to high range. This is achieved by equipping the device with a wide playback frequency band that exceeds the band range of 20 Hz a 25 kHz.

Directional microphone

The recorder features a highly sensitive directional microphone incorporating a new unidirectional microphone unit. 15 mm. This allows the microphone's audio pickup range to be adjusted to suit different sounds, from shows with a small number of people to concert halls with a much larger group of artists. Broadband recording function, highly sensitive, shows frequency properties of up to 40 kHz, to take full advantage of the benefits of DSD recording.

Compared to DA converters from 24 conventional bits, Sony PCM-D100 has adopted a converter 32 Higher class bits for more accurate sound reproduction.

The headphone amplifier incorporates double-layer electrochemical capacitors (EDLC) High capacity and ultra-low impedance 0,33 F (330000 μF), equivalent to 750 times the capacity of conventional capacitors. This stable power improves the power supply of the headphones and allows high-quality audio to be played back even with higher fidelity..

S/N mode 100 dB of the recorder minimizes sound distortion and internal noise during recording and reduces internal noise when converting from analog to digital by applying a digital limiting mechanism that uses two A/D converters for a single channel. This functionality manages to reduce noise with a signal-to-noise ratio of up to 100 dB.

A conventional digital limiter has also been incorporated to consistently ensure normal audio, as well as low signals 12 dB. Even if the input exceeds the maximum levels, The device prevents sound distortion by automatically adjusting the optimal level.

This Sony recorder works for approximately 6 hours and 35 minutes when recording in linear PCM (192 kHz/24 bits), or for approximately 10 hours and 50 minutes to DSD (2,8 MHz/1 bit). The device memory can also be expanded with the addition of external memory; Audio recordings can be stored directly on this external memory.
