I just received my VN-960PC in the mail yesterday. I am planning to use the device to personal interviewing for a family history project. I was delighted by the compactness of this device. Initial setup is very easy to navigate.
Each new recording is uniquely indexed and you can parse the recordings in one of 4 folders.
The recorder also comes with software for easy transfer to your PC, using a USB cable that is included. Also, two AAA batteries are also included with the device.
The sampling rate is 22kHz. Compared to the old style of handheld voice tape recorder, with which I was previously familiar, I find that this device far surpasses those in sound quality and ease of use.
There is an earphone and mic jack located on the top. The built-in microphone is also located on the top of the device.
I am still learning all of the other features, but if you are looking to use this device for interviewing, or class lectures, it should suit your needs just fine.
Compact, high-quality digital voice recorder with 128 MB internal flash memory Records up to 16 hours of WAV audio; 3 recording modes (HQ, SP, and LP)...More at Amazon Marketplace
