Portable High-Quality Recording
The GoStudio was designed with the roaming recording professional in mind, letting you make high-quality recordings directly onto an iPod. This palm-sized studio features a docking cradle that keeps your iPod secured in a position that allows convenient and comfortable access to the screen and click wheel.
The GoStudio features two built-in stereo microphones and also has two combo inputs with XLR and 1/4-inch jacks for connecting either external microphones or line-level sources, and a 3.5-mm mini-jack microphone input.
Easy to access controls, including a master level control with signal/clip LEDs and a direct monitor level control, let you adjust the gain and control your recording levels. The GoStudio also has a limiter switch, mono switch, and low cut filter, as well as a headphone jack that lets you monitor the recorded material in real time.
You can record in either high-quality or low-quality mode, depending on what your applications are and how much free disk space you have. On high-quality mode, you can make 16-bit 44.1 kHz recordings, which has the same quality as audio CDs. This results in large files (about 10 MB per minute) that are ideal for recordings of live concerts. Low-quality mode, better for voice memos, interviews, and lectures, records at 22.05 kHz in 16-bit mono and weighs in at about 2.5 MB per minute.
With all these controls and options, you’ll be able to make clear recordings whether you’re in a recording studio, in a lecture hall, or out in the field interviewing people.
For musicians and others who want even more options, such as the ability to mix four channels of audio simultaneously with your iPod, the Belkin TuneStudio is the way to go.
Play Back Your Recordings Instantly
When you’re done with your recording, you can play back your audio instantly either through headphones or through the built-in speaker. Your recordings can easily be transferred to your computer for more editing, storage on your hard disk, and burning onto a CD.
And once you’ve edited your files and uploaded them to iTunes, it’s a simple step to add your new audio content your blog, Web site, Facebook or MySpace pages, or wherever else your fancy takes you. With the GoStudio Recorder, you’re only limited by your imagination.
