Sony M-100MC Microcassette Recorder with Voice Operated Recording

Voice Activated Microcassette Recorder Model M100-MC
This unidirectional microphone minimizes the recording of peripheral sounds and is ideal for recording lectures and presentations. There are three microphone sensitivity modes (lecture, normal, and dictation) which allow you to make a selection the most efficient pickup sensitivity for recording a variety of applications, from close-up personal dictation to large meetings.

The desktop microphone stand allows the recorder to be set down on a table or desk for hands-free operation. The voice-operated recording automatically activates the recorder only when audible sound is present, conserving tape and eliminating lengthy noiseless passages on recordings. The Clear Voice sound system enhances voice quality all over recording and playback for greater clarity. The Cue Marker indexing feature means that you can place an electronic “mark” at specific tape segments, and provides rapid access all over cue and review. The fast playback feature plays tape 20 percent faster than normal speed and reduces the time needed to review recordings.

This unit will record up to 19 hours the usage of just two AA batteries. The three-digit tape counter provides a digital display of tape elapsed for rapid access to a particular section of the tape all over playback. The LED indicator visibly indicates recording level and condition of battery power in three segments.

The playback speaker is unobtrusive and allows you to and others hear playback without an earphone. The automatic shut-off helps reduce mechanical wear and conserves battery power. The pause switch temporarily halts recording or playback without leaving that mode, and resumes at the flick of a button. The two-speed operation (1.2/2.4 centimeters per second) feature will provide you with the option of recording on a standard microcassette for twice its normal time, for extended dictation or recording sessions.

This unit also includes a cue/review function that provides sound all over fast-forward and rewind modes to help find specific passages. The earphone jack provides individual listening to playback for privacy.

Another handy feature is the hinged battery lid, which helps prevent accidental loss or damage. The strap affords a very convenient one-hand use, very similar to the usage of a videocassette camera. A DC-in jack allows for two-way power operation, the usage of replaceable batteries or an optional AC power adapter.
