It also features dual high-sensitivity HQ stereo low-noise microphones, a 1/8" (3.5mm) microphone input and a 1/8" (3.5mm) headphone output as well.

The compact Voice Tracer is equipped with a dynamic 28mm front speaker that facilitates immediate, crystal-clear playback of recent voice recordings.

This allows you to start a recording, even when the whole device is shut down, by simply holding down the record button for a moment and then when the unit turns on - it will instantly start recording. The Voice Tracer even has an easy-to-read 1.5" backlit LCD screen, which improves menu navigation speed. There's also a voice volume indicator for ensuring clear volume feedback. When you're away from the Voice Tracer, the keypad lock protects your files. The recorder is powered by two AAA rechargeable NiMH batteries (included), which support up to 48 hours of recording in the LP mode.

A well-engineered microphone grille is able to make a good microphone stand out even more. The grille built into the Voice Tracer helps ensure crystal clear recordings.

Up to 48 Hours Battery Runtime for Extra Long Recordings

Calendar Search Helps Find Recordings
With the calendar search feature, finding a recording is easy and convenient. Every recording receives a time stamp, and can be looked up by simply entering the date of recording.

AutoAdjust Recording for Automatic Sound Parameter Setting
Recording in different environments is often a challenge, especially if you need to adapt the microphone sensitivity and record settings to fit the different scenes - which can usually only be done by manually changing the device settings. The Voice Tracer features an innovative intelligent recording algorithm which analyzes the incoming signals and automatically adjusts and selects the appropriate sound parameters - whether it be Wind Filter, Noise Reduction, Microphone sensitivity or L+R channel beam forming.
