Yamaha PockeTrak 2G

Hand held audio recorders are nothing new, but the PockeTrak 2G from Yamaha takes convenience and recording quality to a new level.


For amateur podcasters, musicians, or anyone that needs to record high quality digital audio and download it quickly and easily into a computer, the PockeTrak 2G from Yamaha is an excellent choice. I've been playing around with a demo unit for a week now, recording conversations, meetings, and professional music concerts and have been very impressed with not only the ease of use but also the overall quality of the recording that comes from the unit's diminutive stereo speakers.

The PockeTrak is only slightly longer than an iPod nano and about twice as thick. Inside this small package can be stored up to three hours of high quality WAV format recordings recorded either through the built in microphones or through an external microphone using a 1/4 inch jack. The unit has multiple folders built into the software, allowing a user to file recordings in different places according to their subject. Users can also use the recorder as a portable media device, uploading MP3 tracks to the unit for playback either through the tinny sounding internal speaker or through external headphones or a stereo system. Music can be played through a computer's media software directly from the drive which includes a slide out USB connection.
