ICD-UX523F: All-in-One Voice Recorders

The ICD-UX523F is an improved update of Sony’s popular UX all-in-one series of voice recorders. Featuring a new rounded microphone design, more sound is able to be picked up from different angles and its clarity is enhanced by the S-Microphone Recording System, a proprietary system developed by Sony which couples advanced audio processing technology with a highly sensitive new microphone, capturing even the faintest of subjects with superb clarity while simultaneously reducing background noise.

The ICD-UX523F also boasts useful features such as a direct USB port, Intelligent Noise Cut, an in-built FM tuner player/recorder and the supplied Sound Organizer editing software. With a microSD/SDHC flash memory card slot in addition to its 4GB of onboard memory, countless hours of quality audio can be recorded at any time, any place. Available in capacities of 2 to 8GB (without adapter) and 4 to 16GB (with adapter), the microSD/SDHC flash memory card also supports full HD recording and comes with free PC software (available via download) such as File Rescue for quick, easy recovery of deleted or damaged files (http://www.sony-asia.com/support/download/50317).

Available in eight vibrant colours, it also boasts a thinner, more compact design with a large display and front operation buttons, making it the perfect companion for the college student or the young executive looking to get a head’s up on the competition.
