ICD-SX712 Digital Voice Recorder

Perfect for students, musicians and business people, this digital voice recorder offers all the bells and whistles for recording clear, uncompromised audio.

Packed with premium features, the ICD-SX712 digital voice recorder puts powerful recording capabilities in the palm of your hand.
