DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER ICD-SX SERIES - KEY FEATURES HIGH QUALITY AUDIO TECHNOLOGIES
CD HIGH-QUALITY SOUND WITH NON-COMPRESSION LINEAR PCM RECORDING FORMAT (44.1KHZ / 16 BIT)
Unlike WMA and MP3, linear PCM records sound without the use of compression, capturing every detail of the original sound as you hear it, for an extremely realistic high-quality recording. ICD-SX850 and ICD-SX750 are compatible with 44.1kHz / 16 bit recording, just like music CDs, so you can record instrument recitals and outdoor concerts and store as your own personal CD. At the same time, they are compatible with MP3 format, as well as Sonys own LPEC format, which enable high-quality sound to be recorded over a long duration.
The all-new, high-performance micro-unit enables low-noise, high-sensitivity and highly-directional recording, using a triple-microphone left and right stereo microphones for a realistic sound recording, and a centre microphone for directional sound capture. Together, they reduce noise levels to 1/3 that of conventional models*1, clearly catching subtle sounds. With the sensitivity of the centre microphone increased almost three times, it can capture a persons voice from a distance of approximately 30 meters*2 ideal for directional recording in environments such as large lecture theatres. Triple microphone sound capture illustration
Microphone directionality switched OFF for stereo recording of meetings, for example
The microphones separated design between the unit and device, maximises microphone sensitivity by reducing vibration from the device and improving sound collection.
There are four preset modes available to help you set microphone sensitivity and recording levels according to your scenario:
Dictation mode Meeting mode High-sensitivity mode Music mode
*1 *2
For audio memos and interview recordings For meetings and discussions For lectures in large venues For live music recordings
Files recorded from language learning CDs etc using the CD recording function can only be used privately unless permission is obtained from the copyright holder.
Where volume contrast is important, the Manual mode allows sound to be captured as it is by distinguishing differences in sound volume, making it ideal for recording live music performances. Its equipped with a digital limiter to prevent distortion when the sound is at an excessive volume.
Recording level The recording level can be checked and adjusted using the display on the liquid crystal screen

The Microphone Frequency Optimiser optimises the frequency characteristics of the microphone unit. Low frequencies outside the range of normal human speech are naturally cut out in the dictation, meeting and high-sensitivity modes, reducing the effect of noise from wind and other elements. In the music and manual modes, the recordings extend uniformly into low and high frequency ranges, in order to realistically capture the sound of the instruments, optimising frequency characteristics and maintaining a well-balanced sound range.
Application software included with ICD-SX850/SX750 Digital Voice Editor Ver.3.3. Simply Store Recorded Data on Your PC Name your recorded files for easy management on your PC and transfer files between your Digital Voice Recorder and your PC. Edit Files Stored on Your PC Edit file names, divide or merge files, set bookmarks, and convert to MP3 or WAV formats. You can also re-order the sequence of files on your IC recorder. Convenient Playback Function Various playback functions can be accessed through your PC, such as playback / stopping of imported audio, repeat function, digital pitch control, and digital voice-up.
