Manufacturer's Description for Sony PCM-M10 Portable Audio Recorder

Meet the smallest addition to Sony's family of portable audio recorders. The new PCM-M10 Linear PCM Recorder adopted many of its features and style from the highly acclaimed PCM-D50 model, including rugged construction, compact size and cool design.

The PCM-M10 is conveniently small on size, but packs in many cool features: a five-second pre-record buffer, WAV and MP3 format record and play, USB port for easy upload/downloads, Digital Pitch Control and a MicroSD/Memory Stick Micro slot. Providing 96 kHz 24-bit recording, a 4 GB built-in flash memory and user friendly operation, the PCM-M10 is the ideal choice for making live musical, nature sound and field recordings.

While you're getting to know our newest recorder, please reacquaint yourself with the rest of our family of professional recorders: the original PCM-D1 and the PCM-D50 portable field recorders. Then check out our complete pro audio lineup including studio microphones, high-definition headphones and wireless mics. From the field to the studio; from wired to wireless, Sony's pro audio solutions come in your size.

The PCM-M10/B (Matt Black Color) is a 96 kHz/24-bit capable recorder with electret condenser stereo microphones, 4 GB of internal flash memory and a microSD/Memory Stick Micro(TM) (M2(TM)) Slot for expanded memory. Key features of the PCM-M10 recorder include a built-in speaker, cross-memory recording, digital pitch and key control, digital limiter, low-cut filter, track mark functions, a 5-second pre-recording buffer and A-B repeat capability. The recorder includes a USB high-speed port for simple uploading and downloading of native .WAV or .MP3 format recorded files to and from Windows(R) PC or Macintosh(R) computers. The M10 offers durable construction and long battery life using conventional AA alkaline batteries.

Built-in Electret Condenser Mics

The PCM-M10's electret condenser microphones have exceptional high sound quality. The microphones are omni-directional with a flat and wide frequency response and natural sound characteristics.

Flexible Playback Features

Simple Uploading to Computer

Customer Reviews
5 out of 5 (2 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Best portable recorder."
Sound: The Sony PCM M10 recorder is the best value in a portable recorder out there. I record 24 bit .WAV files at both 48k and 96k. The conversion is flawless. I also use the onboard mic pres with my own electret condenser mics. The pres are very quiet and the PIP power is clean and perfect for my mics. I can't say enough about what a huge value this is for a really professional quality recorder. Feature: Even the batteries (which last forever) are included. Nothing lacking here. Ease of Use: Easy menu structure. Just some poking around even without the manual was enough to learn everything here. Quality: Perfect. Value: Can't beat the value here. The sound quality and features blow away the zooms and others. I needed quality, quiet mic pres and this has them. The zooms are hugely hissy in comparison. The Wow Factor: This recorder is tiny, yet easy to use. Not much larger than a small smart phone.

"DON'T LET IT'S SMALL SIZE FOOL YA!"
Sound: I use this cool 'lil gadget to record my Pastor's sermons.. It's hooked up between the mixer and the Sony's 1/8" line input which is on the top of the unit between its corner-mounted mics. It's wonderful as you can adjust the signal manually with a knob off to the right side of the unit, making sure that it's within range indicated on the screen. Of course, you can also attach a pair of headphones off to the left side of the unit to get a more 'live' feel for that mic adjustment. I love the wired 'remote' to record: decent, useable length. I love experimenting with this thing.. may sound overkill but I like to record at 96kHz & 24 bit. A 45 min recording pumps out ROUGHLY 1.5 GB of data.. but I think the result is lifelike! Why not use the capabilities at hand, huh? I wish I could email out that file! But alas, I use the enclosed Sound Forge Audio Studio software to crunch out some very respectable MP3s which are then distributed via email. Those huge files crunch out to ROUGHLY 10 MB. Last night a concert pianist visited and played on our 9 foot baby grand piano [I think that's what he called it.] I asked him if I could record his playing - cool experiment. Had the unit on manual w/it set at "2". I just rested the unit on the podium with its mics aiming toward the end of the piano which was about 3-4 feet away. Couldn't move either one. Again, just using what was available..[no tripod avail] The results weren't bad I must say. OK, so he really got that piano to pump out some volume that I rarely hear from it! Boy it was loud! Darn, I wish I could've had more time to 'calibrate' the unit.. I would've set it to "1" or even "0". There was no way to monitor stuff during playing. Like I said, I didn't have the time, just a guess-timate and get off stage.. very little clipping despite.. In an hour's concert, maybe clipped like 4 times - briefly.. Anyhow, decent results despite my naivety with this gadget. MY FAULT, not the unit's! OVERALL, I'D BUY THIS UNIT ALL OVER AGAIN - ONE FOR MYSELF AND ANOTHER ONE FOR THE CHURCH! To "experiment" with, I'd like to have $2K to pick up that Sony D-1. Bet that's a lil monster! his little brother, though, this guy, ain't a lil punk! Go get one! They're fun!
