Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Ideal for recording lectures and presentations, Sony's M-470 Microcassette Recorder is an affordable personal recording device. It is small and compact with a built-in microphone and speaker for easy review and playback. Recording is easy with the one-touch button, and the cue and review slide control makes fast forwarding and rewinding a breeze. Your samples and audio notes will always sound great with Sony-Matic automatic recording level control. This function takes advantage of advanced circuitry to ensure correct recording levels, and the Clear Voice function improves recording quality by enhancing voice sounds during recording and playback.

This microcassette recorder also features an earphone output for private listening. The two-speed record/playback (1.2 or 2.4 centimeter per second) gives you the option of recording on a standard microcassette for twice its normal time. This is great for extended dictation or personal audio note taking. Powered by two AAA batteries or an AC adaptor, the M-470 is easy to use and perfect for students and professionals.

3.0 out of 5 stars Clear as a bell?, July 7, 2007

This is a very handy device to keep with you. It is compact, and easy to work with. I recorded a television show, and when I played it, the sound was very clear! Even with all things in the back ground, didn't get any interference. I just carry it with me, in a pocket or purse. Only thing is, I need longer tape (90 minutes), for school lectures. But they can be found just about anywhere. You will like it especially if you are new to micro cassette tape recorders. Great price too!

Although the recording quality is acceptable, I was very disappointed that the recorder did not have built-in jacks for external headphones and a microphone.

I bought this because its small, and has a nice rectangular shape. Has good sound quality, and is good for the price.
