Features

Large Stereo Mic and Ultra-handy Wireless Remote Control

- Start, Stop and Replay from Anywhere

The wireless remote control makes recording practice sessions much more convenient. You can position the W24 at the optimum recording location and operate it from your playing position, so you can record and listen over and over without having to move.

- 24bit/96kHz Recording With Highest Quality X-Y Stereo Microphone

The microphone on a pocket recorder is extremely important in determining sound quality, and the sensitivity and coverage of this X-Y dual mic assembly are truly superior. It takes full advantage of the recorder's 24bit/96kHz resolution.

- 38 Hours of PCM Recording with One Battery

The W24 far outdistances the competition with up to 38 hours of PCM recording and 56 hours of MP3 recording from a single alkaline AA battery. Now you can concentrate on the music, not the battery.

- X-Y Coniguration Provides Superior Music Recording


- High Capacity Memory with microSD Cards

The W24 has a built-in 2GB flash memory, providing 3 hours of PCM recording time (MP3: 13.5 hours). Using the optional 2GB microSD memory card doubles this amount. You can also use higher capacity cards.

- Peak Limiter for Optimum Music Recording

When bands or orchestras hit high volume peaks, recording quality can suffer. The W24's peak limiter instantly detects these high levels to prevent overload and distortion. Yamaha worked with musicians in studios to ensure that the limiter function is optimized for music recording.

- Memorize Various Recording Settings

You can use the Scene function to memorize the settings for a variety of recording situations, such as choir practice or interviews, and assign names to them. Then each time you want to use a certain setting, you can recall it instantly.

- Onboard Speaker

The built-in speaker provides a quick and convenient way to check your recordings.

- Ready When You Are

When the group is ready to start, no one wants to wait for the recorder. With the W24, recording can begin just 4.5 seconds after pressing the power button.

Tuner and metronome are built-in for added convenience.
