PocketMemo DPM8900 Meeting Recorder features
360-degree sound pick-up for optimal recording
Sound pick-up from a 360-degree radius for a perfect recording experience. Meetings can be easily captured.
High recording quality in DSS Pro, MP3 and PCM format
The DSS format was developed for use in digital voice recorders, permitting a high compression ratio with little loss of quality while enabling you to store additional information in the file header. The PCM format allows stereo recording in CD-like audio quality and the MP3 format is the common audio format for consumer audio storage, as well as a de facto standard encoding for the transfer and playback on digital audio players.
Extendable solution for increased recording range
Easily extend the recording range of your Pocket Memo meeting recorder by simply connecting up to six meeting microphones.
Innovative meeting microphones for superb recording quality
The innovative boundary layer design of the included meeting microphones uses the sound pressure of the table to provide excellent sound and recording quality with a 360 degree sound-pick up radius.
Built-in wire storage for adjusting cable length
The built-in wire storage in the 360° microphones allows you to adjust the length of the cable to perfectly suit your needs, making sure your desk always looks tidy and professional.
Elegant metal carrying case for portability
The elegant metal carrying case guarantees highest mobility and safe transportation.
