You don't have to be an expert in espionage to use the Citizen AW-901 Handheld Microcassette Recorder, but there is no harm in feeling like one. This sleek, silver device is small enough to fit discreetly in a pocket, and with the voice sensor recording feature, it might have a way of bringing out the undercover agent lurking in each of us.
The AW-901 features a selectable voice activation sensor and a one-touch recording button. This recorder is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in your hand and provides easy access to all the buttons. There are two selectable recording speeds -- the faster speed makes clearer recordings for reproduction, while the slower speed is perfect for voice memos and audio note taking. The unit has both a built-in microphone as well as a microphone input jack. The AW-901 is equipped with a speaker that makes it easy to record, cue, and review sounds and voice, but also features a 3.5-millimeter earphone jack for private listening. This recorder features auto shut off, a three-digit counter, LED battery indicator, and electronic pause.
