Ares-M Specifications
High quality solid-state audio recorder, the ARES-M is principally designed
to be used in any ultraportable recording situation, and can replace
MiniDisc. Its recording media is a 1 GB built-in
memory, for the recording of PCM Mono or Stereo audio. MPEG compression allows
for longer
recording times. Two “AA” batteries power the unit, offering 10 hours
operation. Equipped with a built-in microphone, it is also delivered with an
external clip-on stereo microphone. In addition extra high quality external Mono
(omni-directional) and Stereo (Cardioid) clip on microphones are available as
additional accessories. A traditional external microphone can also be used thanks
to
the XLR input cable supplied with the unit. Designed for radio applications,
the ARES-M offers instant start-up, one button recording, automatic level control,
internal loudspeaker, voice operated recording, low-cut filter and on-board graphic
audio editor.
