AES Moments: A Tasty Field Recorder


I had a great time exploring the Audio Engineering Society (AES) show earlier this month, and am finally digging through my pile of fun audio discoveries. This display from the Sony booth had a great backstory: A photographer took a lovely PCM-D1 digital audio recorder on an African safari and ended up snatching it from the jaws of death. Click the photos to see the damage and read his account.

The story made me think about how many plastic recorders we've reviewed. Of course, you could buy ten Zoom H2s for the price of a PCM-D1, but there's something to be said for having the toughest gear on the block.
