Description:

The TC-D5M from Sony is a high-quality portable cassette recorder that's ideal for lectures, interviews, and field recording. It utilizes a four-track two-channel stereo recording method and Dolby B noise reduction technology for clear, accurate recordings. A 20 to 19,000 Hz frequency response (depending on tape, machine settings, and recording conditions) captures nearly all sounds within human hearing. A 1.0% total harmonic distortion and a signal-to-noise ratio as low as 43 dB help ensure that your recordings are easy to understand during playback.

Two VU meters provide a visual indication of the input signal, while a microphone volume control allows you to adjust input trim for optimal recording levels. A 2-inch diameter speaker and a headphone jack let you audition and monitor your recordings. Stop, play, speed, rewind, fast-forward, and pause buttons are provided for easy control. Audio is captured through the microphone input jack or via one of the line or phono inputs, while a line output jack allows you to transfer recordings to other media.

The TC-D5M receives power either from two AA batteries or from a house current using an optional AC power adapter. A low battery indicator lets you know when to replace the batteries. The unit weighs 3 pounds 12 ounces and comes backed by a 90-day limited warranty.
