Sony M-570V Microcassette dictaphone

Ideal for recording lectures and presentations, Sony's M-570V 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. Sony has made it easy to find a specific location on the microcassette for rapid access and editing. Sony has equipped the M-570V with Voice Operated Recording (VOR) that activates the recorder when audible sound is present, so you'll never waste valuable recording time. 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-570V is easy to use and perfect for students as well as professionals. What's in the Box M-570 micro cassette recorder, one microcassette, and two AAA batteries.  more

Sony delivers solid performance and build quality

I almost did not buy this product after reading all of the negative reviews but my experience has been that you need to take reviews with a grain of salt.I have much experience with many recorders over the last decade. I own a high end Olympus L250, Panasonic, and other misc analog recorders. I...

Digital would be better

I bought this recorder as a sort of security device to record sounds made during the night. It would not pick up noises, just voices. May be useful for recording lectures but for anything else I would not recommend this product at all.

Unhappy with the recording quality

I just purchased this recorder and I am very dissatisfied. After taping something, the noise/static is almost louder than the material that was recorded. Being a Sony product, I thought the quality would have been better. Sorry I purchased it.

From a student's viewpoint

I actually liked this recorder. I've been using it to record lectures for my AP US history class and its working pretty great. Although, I do agree with the issue of the motor making a buzzing noise, though I can still hear my teacher pretty clearly.

Insultingly Awful

I bought this item with the intention of using it to record some of the lectures I attend. The sound quality is really awful- I can barely make out anything that was said. The main problem is that the motor that drives the tape is fairly loud and is located very near the microphone. In other...

Reporter's Take

I bought this tape recorder less than a year ago and I am already in the market for another one. First of all, don't believe the product description. This would be terrible for recording lectures. Even if you are right up against your interview subject, if there is other noise in the room you...
