Review: Yamaha Pocketrak 2G Pocket Stereo Recorder - CNET
CNET have published a review of the Yamaha Pocketrak 2G Pocket Stereo Recorder. 'The Pocketrak 2G is marketed toward recording musicians, but its lightweight, low-profile design is just dying to be used for covert spy missions and concert bootlegging. Clad in a glossy black plastic and measuring 4.75 inches by 1.25 inches by 0.25 inch (HWD), the Pocketrak 2G is easily concealed in your pocket, or tucked away in some dark corner. The Pocketrak 2G's built-in stereo microphone takes up the last half inch of the top of the device, and can be angled up on its hinge to prevent it from picking up vibrations when laid on a table.
The front of the Pocketrak 2G is surprisingly spare, and includes a small 1-inch backlit LCD, and a central record button flanked by smaller delete and stop keys. Just like the micro-cassette recorders of days past, the majority of the Pocketrak 2G's controls are located on the right edge of the player. Unfortunately, because of the Pocketrak 2G's slender design, the play and skip buttons (which double as menu controls) located on the edge of the player are tiny as Tic Tacs and awkward to use while keeping an eye on the screen.'
