Our business

(1) Handy Audio Recorder (HAR)

The handy audio recorders of our group are the high-quality linear PCM recorders (Note 3) that record uncompressed audio, rather than the compressed digital audio, such as MP3 (Note 2), used for music distribution. The product was developed for musicians playing rock music by applying the recording technology cultivated in Multi Track recorders, but in addition to musicians, it is also used among the creators in the video and broadcasting fields as an audio recorder. The H8 is an easy-to-operate flagship model with a 2.4" color touchscreen.

(2) Digital Mixer/ Multi Track Recorder (DMX/MTR)

The digital mixer is an electronic device that converts multiple input audio signals into digital signals, adjusts volume and sound quality, and mixes multiple audio sounds. The Multi Track recorder is a recording device that provides freedom of choosing multiple tracks (units of recorded data) for recording and playback and allows multiple recordings, such as creating a base musical composition, recording a song on another track, and further recording a song with a different scale on another track. In September 2022, the new generation Multi Track recorder R12 with a 2.4" touchscreen was launched.

(3) Multi-Effects (MFX)

The effectors (Note 4) of our group are Multi-effects that incorporate multiple effects using digital processing. The free combination of the built-in effect types is available, and the created tones are recorded on the main unit and recalled for use by stepping on a footswitch.

Since the release of the 9002 based on the concept of compact Multi-effects attachable to guitar straps in 1990, we released a variety of products that include models for bass guitar, acoustic guitar, and models per their price levels, as well as models that are widely compatible across a variety of acoustic instruments, such as saxophone and harmonica. In December 2022, we launched the G2 FOUR and G2X FOUR Multi-effects processors loaded with the newly developed multilayer-IR (Note 5) function.

(4) Professional Field Recorder (PFR)

The professional field recorder is for creators in video-related industries and sound designers and is intended for outdoor use offering such features as 32-bit float recording (Note 7) with an overwhelmingly vast dynamic range (Note 6) and timecode (Note 8) for high-precision synchronization with video. In January 2022, we launched the 32-bit float field recorder, F3, in a compact and robust palm-size body, followed by the highest-end model, the F8n PRO, in February.

(5) MicTrak Recorders

We launched the MicTrak Series (M Series) as a new product category in December 2022, integrating the microphone sound collection technology that we cultivated in our handy audio recorders and the 32-bit float recording technology that we developed in our professional field recorders. An unprecedented microphone-type recorder series allows single shot recording without rehearsal, eliminating the need for input gain (Note 9) adjustment, and is equipped with a microphone and high-performance preamp (Note 10) that can withstand high sound volumes. For more information, in the sales shown by category, MicTrak recorders are included in professional field recorders due to the small share in consolidated sales in the current fiscal year.

(6) Handy Video Recorder (HVR)

The handy video recorder of our group is for music designed for recording in high-resolution audio (Note 11) quality. Currently available products support 4K video quality, allowing the uploading of high video and audio quality movies to video posting sites, such as YouTube provided by YouTube LLC, and SNS. The flagship product Q8n-4K is compatible with the latest V2 standard for interchangeable mic capsule systems; in addition, the 2CH mic input terminals allow it to be used not only for recording band practice or taking selfies of singing while playing but also for live streaming and Web conferencing as a high-quality sound webcam for PCs and Macs.

(7) Microphones (MIC)

The lineup of the iQ series and Am7 are recording microphones that can be connected to the iOS devices provided by Apple Inc. and the Android OS devices provided by Google LLC to allow CD-quality stereo recordings. At the same time, we provide the HandyRecorder App with high-quality sound recording and editing functions, and the Mobile HandyShare App that allows high-quality image and high-quality sound movie capturing using the smartphone’s camera image and our microphone. We are also upgrading our lineup of the ZPC-1, a matched pair of pencil stereo mics that allows for full-scale stereo recording.

(8) Vocal Processor (VCP)

A lineup of effectors that can add musical harmonies to the human voice, such as vocals and voices, convert it into a robotic machine voice, and even integrate a voice changer to control voice quality characteristics that vary with gender and age. The desktop vocal processor, V3, is a typical product that is helpful for podcasters and video distributors.

(9) Audio Interface (AIF)

The audio interface is a product that serves as the audio entry/exit point to the computer. Since only digital signals are accepted by the computer, the audio interface is responsible for the conversion from analog to digital when inputting audio into the computer and from digital to analog when listening to the audio from the computer. In June 2022, our group launched the AMS series, a new audio interface that can be utilized for both music production and live distribution in addition to the existing lineup.
