Title: new stealth recorder?
Post by: Weazel on February 08, 2005, 10:01:36 PM

if go to this page http://eng.iaudio.com/ and press download button and look at the firmware upgrades for the G3 and the U2 you see this:


- ADPCM wave format * is supported.
- WAVE 8kHz, 11kHz, 16kHz, 32kHz are added to recording quality 

# What is ADPCM format?

It is a file format that is saved as wav file which can be played with Windows.
Compressibility is about 4:1. It is lower than MP3 format, but sound quality is similar.
Recording frequency range is 8KHz~44.1KHz.
Recording with low requency would allow more capacity and battery life.

looks intresting, anyone have experience with it?

the m3 can also record line-in and has a 20/40 gig HDD. It can not record to the mentioned file-types although (firmware upgrade needed).

ADPCM is mostly used on mobile devices as far as i know. In case the sound quality is similar to MP3 you could also use an MD-recorder.
