Alesis PalmTrack, Digital Audio Recorder
Record stereo or four-capsule omni audio directly to an SD card with the
pocket-sized PalmTrack. You can capture live sound anywhere and anytime
without a single cable! The PalmTrack is perfect for recording quality
sound in a wide variety of settings from rehearsals, jam sessions, and
gigs to conferences, lectures, and classes to interviews and meetings.
The possibilities are virtually limitless.
Recording with the
PalmTrack is easy and flexible. Just insert the included batteries and
SD card and press record! You can monitor while recording in headphones
and watch the real-time level meters, or just switch on Auto Mic Gain
and let the PalmTrack take the hassle out of recording. When you’re done
recording, you can check out your recordings on the PalmTrack’s
built-in speaker, using your own headphones, connecting the PalmTrack to
your Mac or PC with its mini USB jack, or by removing the SD card and
inserting it into your computer’s SD card slot or reader.
While
you’re tracking, you’ll be able to easily tell that the PalmTrack is
recording thanks to its red Record light. You can easily switch the
mics’ gain from high to low with the left-side switch, and you can
adjust the input level with the up and down buttons on the right.
You
can choose between 44.1 and 48kHz sample rates, select an MP3 bitrate
from 64 to 320kbps for maximum recording time, or choose uncompressed 16
or 24-bit WAV for broadcast-quality recording. For all-in-one
recording, the PalmTrack has FOUR microphones housed in its protective
grille. You can select two mics for stereo pickup pattern, four mics for
omnidirectional pickup pattern, plug your own mic into the PalmTrack’s
1/8-inch mic input, or any line-level source into its 1/8-inch line
input.
The PalmTrack also gives you powerful processing onboard,
including bass compensation for reducing the proximity effect in
close-miked situations, as well as Chorus, Pitch Shift, Delay, and
Reverb settings for adding flavor and creative effects to your
recordings. There’s also an MP3 voice mode that enables you bring out
vocals from MP3s. On top of all of that, there’s even a handy tuner!
The
PalmTrack has a bright, clear OLED display that shows you blue-on-black
text and metering information, even in a dark club. It records running
on the two included AA batteries, or using an optional power adapter. A
1/4"-20 threaded mounting point enables you to mount the PalmTrack on a
mic stand with the optional ProTrack Adapter, on a table with the
optional ProTrack Tripod table stand, or on a camera tripod for
hands-free tracking.
