## Overview

The Sony ICD-UX570 is a lightweight, compact digital voice recorder featuring three versatile recording modes (Wide, Focus, Normal) and a built-in stereo microphone for superior sound quality. It supports quick charging, delivering up to 1 hour of recording from just 3 minutes of charge, and offers extensive recording time with up to 39 hours in MP3 format. With a sleek design and easy USB connectivity, it’s perfect for professionals who demand reliable, high-fidelity audio capture on the go.

## Description

Record audio precisely with excellent sound quality and three recording modes. Normal, Focus, and Wide-stereo recording modes give you the ability to record the audio that you need to capture, no matter the setting. An even more compact design allows for storage in tight spaces, and the simplified UI makes file retrieval easier than ever.

Review: Compact, competent, and familiar - I came to this recorder having been using Sony's ICD-UX81 and UX-543 for years. I write for a living and like to take long walks and dream up ideas, and also need to record them for when I get back home (sometimes an exact turn of phrase can be quite hard to remember). When the UX81 began to complain of having the odd problem with voice file storage when connected through USB and the UX-543 simply failed overnight, I looked hard for the next logical dictation device. I pored over the specs and user experiences and gravitated to this one since it most resembled the previous ones I'd owned, and all the reasons I'd settled on my older device. Important for me is the ability to create particularly clear voice files that can be run through an automatic transcription program such as Nuance's "Naturally Speaking", which can - with training - transcribe our verbals into text. This does as well as the the other machines in that regard, in noisy environments such as a windy day, or walking on gravel, or nearby traffic, the background noice will interfere with auto-transcription but the voice is still perfectly intelligible to the human ear. In these cases you'll need to listen back and improve your typing speeds instead. There is an option to focus the machine's "listening pattern" (mic response) to a focused mode, which does go a little way to reducing noise if I'm dictating ideas while walking outdoors. The operation of the device was very intuitive for me, there's broadly only three operations I care about, switching it on and off, recording, and stopping recording - after setting a recording sensitivity, ideally. If you use this regularly the simplicity makes it very intuitive within a very short time. Once you've figured out the labelling system the basics come to hand very easily and, if anything, the workflow (such as it is) for this recorder is very familiar, and the display has a lot more information available. My main requirement has always been that both my recorders produce MP3 files, and that's the format offered here along with "LPCM", which creates CD-quality (44.1) WAV files should you really want to push the quality at the expense of the machine's memory - it makes a difference in fidelity but also records noise etc just as faithfully! According to Sony, recording at top quality (LPCM) will fill the built in 4MB memory in 5 hours 20 minutes, at top quality MP3 (MP3 is a compressed format that is somewhat less faithful) you get 39 hours 45 minutes. All the numbers can be seen at helpguide.sony.net/icd/u57/v1/en2/contents/TP0002426582.html . I'm not a fan of the slide-out USB port. The UX-81 has a fixed port onto which clips an end cover for the device as a whole, which for me is a far neater arrangement. If you give your voice recorders a tough life you may prefer the fact that the connector is hidden away inside the device. I'm also not a fan of the missing device sleeve that used to come with voice recorders - a little slip case that kept dust at bay is not included in the Sony package for this one. Fortuntately I'd hung on to the previous device's slip case and, if you're replacing an older voice recording with this one, you should also keep that case handy, you'll need it. You'll find PDF manuals at sony.co.uk/electronics/support/digital-voice-recorders-icd-series/icd-ux570/manuals, and for those that don't like cluttering their systems with PDF files, there's an online version at the same link - should you have any concerns about how it is operated. It isn't a quantum leap either of beyond my old machines, bt then simplicity is what these are all supposed to be about. This new one certainly is kinder to new users, though, and can be used almost without thinking once the familiarity is there.
Review: The Formula 1 of recording widgets - For something that weighs nothing and looks like its made of plastic (it is) this is like a an audio Swiss Army knife! There is very little it doesn't do really well as a standalone recorder, paired with (in my case) a wireless Lavalier mic, recording in a hall or close up, and it even doubles as an FM radio (which it also can record). It has a large on board memory but you can put in an SD card and the capacity is more or less limitless. The ability to use the on-board usb to plug into a computer makes the transfer and editing of files a doddle, sound quality is great and I want to have children with it. It really is that good. honest

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ solid and runs forever.
*by T***R on 28 May 2021*

Incredibly small and light. Simple to use since everything is set to "auto" by default, although if you want to to get deeper into the settings the manual is little help. Sound quality is ok for a dictaphone but lacks tonality if you are recording music. However this is down to the internal Mics . There are 2 which is a waste for such a small device. I don't think you can get meaningful sterio out of it and its not a music recorder so I don't know why they bothered. With an external mic it does a good job. Used it to record a vocal comentary from a lapel mic and its fine. My I bought a second one for meetings. Those are my only 2 gripes: The confusing menus. Trying to kid me that 2 mics make it sterio!
