MISSION DETAILS

Built-in Electret Condenser Microphones
The PCM-D50's electret condenser microphones have exceptional high sound quality and offer a selection of two operating positions, X-Y and Wide Stereo.

Superior Audio Signal Path
The PCM-D50 is designed with four separate circuit boards to separate analog audio, digital audio, digital recording and power supply circuits. Separate circuit boards for each function helps minimize noise.

Simple Uploading to Computer
The PCM-D50 conforms to the USB 2.0 Mass Storage Class Device standard and this recorder's native recording file format is WAV. This means recordings can be rapidly uploaded to a computer and used in conjunction with most common audio production software.

Versatile Recording Functions
The PCM-D50 offers comprehensive signal processing features for location recording including a unique dual digital limiter function (inherited from the PCM-D1 recorder), a high pass filter with selectable frequencies (150Hz or 75Hz) and SBM (Super Bit Mapping) noise shaping.
