And if you bump on it, the recorder acts as a lever and all that force is transferred to your computer through that connector. The problem is when you connect the UX570 to your laptop or PC, either to charge it or transfer files to your computer, it’s held up by that USB connector. And that’s from my experience using the older UX560 that had the same retractable USB connector. There’s not much that is wrong with the UX570, but the USB connector is the Achilles heel of this voice recorder. This recorder comes with a microSD slot that supports higher capacity microSDXC cards, a rarity among voice recorders. It also comes with a powered 3.5mm TRS mic input, most high quality microphones require a powered input (Giant squid, ME33s etc). The UX570 comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack that’s also a line out – so you can use it to monitor your recording. Thank you Sony!įinally, let me mention a few of the features that are unique to the UX570. For instant, when you are on the recording window, you can easily see the set mic sensitivity setting, recording format (LPCM or mp3), filter and recording folder! I always check my recording folder before each recording and I no longer need check it in the Rec Information menu. And Sony have done a very good job of designing the display of elements on the screen. In comparison to other recorders, the LCD screen on the UX570 is large, crisp and clear. This device captures very little background noise, has impressive signal to noise ratio and has a couple of filters (LCF and NCF) that can help you record less noise in a noisy location. Using the right settings, and the UX570 does come with a good number of recording settings, you can record clear voice recording. By the time you release the power button, the ux570 is powered and ready to record. Powers up instantly most recorders I own take a few seconds to power up.

And you can charge or power the UX570 using your computer, a USB charger, or a portable power-bank. It’s easy and fast to charge, takes 3 hours to fully charge it.You get a minimum of 20 hours of recording from one charge!.You don’t have to fumble looking for batteries when you want to record.From my experience with the older UX560 (which also has an internal battery), it makes this recorder very convenient in a few ways: The ux570 comes with a 3.7v internal battery. And the only component that surfers from its compact design is the speaker – which is tiny on the ux570. It’s also small compared to other voice recorders. Weighing at 48 g (1.70 oz), which is the weight of a Kit Kat or Hennessey’s bar, the UX570 is very light. In 2020, I recommend the UX570 as the best voice recorder for qualitative researchers. A recorder that will help qualitative researcher’s record better audio for transcription.Īnd having used the UX570 for a few months, I have to say I’ve found my go to recorder for all my voice recording needs. Keep in mind though, when using a digital recorder, I generally focus on features that make a recorder great, or not so great, for recording interviews, lectures, focus group discussions, and meetings. In this review, I’ll highlight the features of the UX570 that I like, and don’t like. The Sony ICD-UX570 is the latest in line of their digital voice recorders.
