Record professional sound with Hi-Res Audio at up to 192 kHz and 24 bit. Whether it's your live music set, new podcast episode' or breaking news report, the PCM-D10 unlocks a new level of detail and texture.
Record Anytime, Anywhere with Three-Way Built-In Mics
No external mic. No problem. The PCM-D10 comes with three-way adjustable built-in mics with low noise and a wide frequency range, so you're always ready to capture impeccable sound. And with three recording positions, you can adapt to your situation. Choose XY for music performances, zoom for interviews and discussions, or wide stereo for open and outdoor spaces.
Connect All Your Gear with Twin XLR and TRS Jack
Plug in two inputs for high-quality two-channel recording. Compatible with XLR and TRS connectors, the twin jack gives you more choice over your sources, from mics and mixers to keyboards. These jacks are independently switchable at mic or line level, and have independent 48-V phantom power. You'll also find a dedicated stereo 3.5-mm mini jack input.
Capture Flawless Sound with Dual ADCs
Combining two top-of-the-line AK4558 A and D, D and A converters with the own high-quality technology, the PCM-D10 raises the bar for your recordings. Working in tandem, they maximize S and N and allow you to capture flawless sound at up to 192 kHz.
Take Total Control of Your Input Levels
With the variable analog gain amplifier, you can dial in your audio levels with precision. The recorder features independent dials for your L and R channels, so you're free to adjust both or just one of your inputs. And because these are high-quality analog controls, you can adjust the gain smoothly, without the step noise that can be encountered with digital volume.
Circuit Board Designed To Prevent Noise
Look beneath the case of the PCM-D10 and you'll find a circuit board engineered to give you the highest sound quality. The analog and digital circuits are totally separated on the board, reducing interference and boosting signal-to-noise. The team has also positioned the amp blocks close to the inputs for the clearest possible transmission.
Analog Headphone Amp for Pitch-Perfect Playback
Whether you're monitoring live or reliving the performance, you'll enjoy clear, detailed audio and high output power from the PCM-D10's high-quality MAX9723 analog headphone amp. This also features an integrated analog volume controller for smooth adjustment.
High S and N Mode
With high S and N mode, you can stop worrying about lost low levels. The PCM-D10’s two ADCs record at different volumes one regular and one lower and if any low levels are lost, the device automatically replaces these sections with audio captured at minus 12 dB. The result. Clear recordings for even the most dynamic performances.
Power Supplied By Batteries or USB-Type C
Choose from different power supply options to match your recording environment. USB Type-C can be more suited to studio time, while dry cell batteries (4xAA) are ideal for recording in the field.
Digital Limiter
The Digital Limiter lets you make interruption-free recordings, even at high levels. When saturation occurs, the recorder will automatically fill clipped portions with a back-up recording at as much as minus 12 dB. This means that even if volume spikes, you can be confident you've captured the flawless files you need.
Never Miss a Beat with Push-Lock Jacks
The PCM-D10 features a push-lock jack that keeps your cables locked in place, so you can be sure you'll always get the take even if you're at a bustling live show or reporting on the run.
Never Lose Sight of Your L and R levels
An easy-to-read, on-screen display shows separate peak levels for your L and R channels, so you can see just where you need to tweak your inputs.
