The new Yamaha W24 Pocketrak portable recorder is compact and
lightweight, and features a large dual microphone assembly for
outstanding 24bit/96kHz digital sound quality. What's more, recording
is more convenient than ever thanks to the supplied wireless remote
control. It's the perfect choice for effortless recording in the
studio, on the stage or out in the field.
Start, Stop and Replay from Anywhere
The
wireless remote control for the W24 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
24bit/96kHz Recording With Highest Quality X-Y Stereo Microphone
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.
8 Hours of PCM Recording with One Battery
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.
High Capacity Memory with microSD Cards
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.
Peak Limiter for Optimum Music Recording
When
bands or orchestras hit high volume peaks, recording quality can
suffer. The W24's 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.
Memorize Various Recording Settings
You can
use the Scene function to memorize the settings for a variety of
recording situations, such as choir practice or interviews, and assign
names to them. Then each time you want to use a certain setting, you
can recall it instantly.
Onboard Speaker
The built-in speaker provides a quick and convenient way to check your recordings.
Ready When You Are
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.
Tuner and Metronome
Tuner and metronome are built-in for added convenience.
