DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER KEY FEATURES

MANUAL ADJUSTMENT OF RECORDING LEVEL

Where volume contrast is important, the “Manual mode” allows sound to be captured as it is by
distinguishing differences in sound volume, making it ideal for recording live music performances. It’s
equipped with a digital limiter to prevent distortion when the sound is at an excessive volume.

MICROPHONE FREQUENCY OPTIMISER

The “Microphone Frequency Optimiser” optimises the frequency characteristics of the microphone
unit. Low frequencies outside the range of normal human speech are naturally cut out in the
“dictation”, “meeting” and “high-sensitivity” modes, reducing the effect of noise from wind and
other elements. In the “music” and “manual” modes, the recordings extend uniformly into low and
high frequency ranges, in order to realistically capture the sound of the instruments, optimising
frequency characteristics and maintaining a well-balanced sound range.

DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER ICD-UX SERIES - KEY FEATURES

MULTIPLE FORMATS AND DIRECT PC CONNECTION

Stereo Recording On MP3 format
The high-quality stereo recording is so clear and realistic that the listener can tell the relative positions
of multiple speakers in meetings. The versatile MP3 file format allows files to be transferred to a PC
and played back with a simple ‘drag & drop’ – no need for specialised software. Where volume
contrast is important, the “Manual mode” allows sound to be captured as it is by distinguishing
differences in sound volume, making it ideal for recording live music performances. It’s equipped with
a digital limiter to prevent distortion when the sound is at an excessive volume.

Use as a MP3 / WMA*1 Music Player

The playback format is compatible with MP3/WMA*1 so you can drag & drop your music files onto your
Digital Voice Recorder and use it to play your favourite songs. You can even change and enhance the
music by selecting genres such as jazz, pop and rock.

CONVENIENT FUNCTIONS FOR ADDED VERSATILITY

Drag & Drop files with the direct USB
Transfer your data or music files by conveniently using the drag and drop function, for both Windows
and Mac OS.

Recharge by connecting to a PC
Rechargeable batteries are included and can be recharged via a USB connection to a PC or by using
a USB AC adapter battery charger (AC-U50AD, available separately).

Filter noise during recording and playback

The low-cut filter automatically reduces noise from fixtures such as air conditioners or projector fans
during recording, while the noise-cut function cuts noise in the high and low frequency range during
playback, making human voices clearer.

Easy access
File and folder names of recorded data and menu screens are displayed in English on a liquid crystal
display, providing quick access by searching for the folder you require.

EFFECTIVE FUNCTIONS FOR LANGUAGE LEARNING

Digital Pitch Control (DPC)
This function allows you to speed up or slow down the voice while maintaining its natural pitch.
Customising the speed of playback, that can be set from 1/2 speed to 2x speed in 21-step increments,
means you can listen to your teacher’s voice at your preferred pace and pick up subtle vocal nuances
that may otherwise be difficult to hear.
