Product description
High quality solid-state audio recorder, the ARES-ML is principally designed to be used in any ultra-portable recording situation, and can replace MINIDISK©. Its recording media is built-in memory, for the recording of PCM Mono or Stereo audio. Available with either 2 GB or 4 GB (from September 2009) of in ternal Flash memory depending on the required recording durations. MPEG compression allows for longer recording times of up to 278 hours (4 GB at 32 kbits/sec). The unit is powered by two “AA” batteries, offering more than 10 hours operation.
Any Questions?: > FAQ
Equipped with a built-in microphone, it is also delivered with an external mono XLR microphone cable allowing an external dynamic microphone to be used. Extra high quality external Mono (omni-directional) and Stereo (Cardioid) clip on microphones are available as additional accessories. Designed for radio applications, the ARES-ML offers instant start-up, one button recording, automatic level control, internal loudspeaker and a low cut filter.
Compatibility
The ARES-ML offers a miniature USB 2.0 port. Through this connection, the internal memory appears on the “desktop” as a mass storage device (external drive) of the PC / MAC and requires NO additional software or drivers. It can also be connected to the NAGRA LB for file editing and transfer operations if desired.
