Quiet confidence may be a virtue. But if someone’s too quiet at a conference, shoddy audio recordings are bound to follow. Novusgear’s NSC-CM420 Conference Recording Kit comes with everything you need to record quality audio files without straining to hear the soft-spoken. The kit comes with the Olympus DM420 digital voice recorder, two table-top conference recording microphones, one Y-splitter and a locking carrying case with foam inserts.
The voice recorder is by far the highlight of the kit. The DM420 features 2 GB of internal memory. In other words, you can record conference room chit chat for up to 533 hours. The battery life is decent too — up to 51 hours between charges. Its microphone is also super-sensitive when it’s in conference mode and can pick up low tones easily. The Novusgear kit graces you with two extra mics that attach to the recorder via the Y-splitter. These table-top mics work well for large roundtable discussions where a lot of folks are participating. Each microphone can pick up sound from 360 degrees, allowing the voice recorder to capture anything said around the table. The recorder actually recognizes where sound is coming from (the first, second, or built-in mic) making for clearer audio files.
Editing files is relatively simple and the Sonority sound editing software that’s included in the kit is professional-grade. You can make conversions, volume match sounds in your files, and combine individual files into one audio presentation. You can also manage podcasts and keep files organized. The recorder is micro SD card-compatible and all files can be saved and recorded in MP3 and Windows Media Auido 9WMA formats. Playback is done in a WAV format.
Novusgear offers a one-year warranty on all components of the kit.
