| Sony MZ-R37 | Portable Recorder
US
Intro: 3/1999 | MSRP $300
Availability:
| IN: mic, line/optical. OUT: line, headphones. DC IN 4.5V | 116.8 x 18.5 x 86.1mm, 160g (body only) |
Features: ATRAC 4.0 (IC: 2652AR) Sony's first "cost reduced"
portable recorder (apparently for US and European release only). Unit is
of ca. MZ-R55 generation but slightly larger than MZ-R50. 40 second
shock memory. Editing and titling functions available on remote. Unit
includes 2 rechargeable (AA size) NiCad batteries [MZ-R37SP version
comes without batteries or AC adapter], but can also run on Alkaline
cells. Synchro start recording, sampling rate converter. Difference to
MZ-R55: no microphone sensitivity setting, no "erase" button ("delete" function appears under edit menu),
and no date and time stamp. Included remote has no LCD, but MZ-R55 [LCD
equipped] remote works properly with it, including backlight function.
Variants: MZ-R37PCIF version is the same base
MZ-R37 unit bundled with a USB to analog line-out interface adapter
(reportedly made by Xitel), allowing easy recording from a PC.
MZ-R37SP ("Self-Powered"?) version was released a year
after the initial version, it ships without the AC adapter, and Sony
quotes slightly longer battery life figures for it.
Links: Sony Japan's MZ-R37 tourist model page. A Sony announcement stating that the MZ-E33 player and the
MZ-R37 recorder will be released in the US in February. PASS (UK) makes an
oversized wired-remote button box for this unit. MiniDiscussion
has collected user reviews for this unit.
