Sony PCM-D100

Mobile audio recorder with high performance and resolution

The Sony PCM-D100 is a high quality audio recorder capable of recording up to 192 kHz/24bit PCM and DSD. It is designed to perform at the highest possible sound quality for demanding recordings of live music, theatrical performances, or electronic reporting. The PCM-D100 supports the latest high-resolution codecs and formats such as LPCM with up to 192kHz/24bit and DSD (Direct Stream Digital) with 2.8MHz resolution. As such, the PCM-D100 is part of Sony’s recently launched “High-Res Audio” initiative and is the unification of all the successful attributes of its two predecessors, the Sony PCM-D1 and Sony PCM-D50, into one product. Rounding out this new development are many other innovative features. Two high-quality swiveling condenser microphones can be aligned optionally at 0°/90°/120° angles, allowing optimal adaptation to different recording situations. With a linear frequency response from 20Hz to well over 30kHz and a high sensitivity of -31dB/Pa, the internal microphones capture every sound detail, no matter how fine, making the use of additional external microphones largely unnecessary. A specially developed noise limiter and 100dB signal/noise ratio make noise-free recordings possible even of extremely quiet sounds.
