Amazon.com Product Description
Professional quality sound and high-level functionality are what distinguish the RR-XR320 IC Recorder. Panasonic has designed a powerful, sleek recorder with an attractive silver body. The slim-style design is only one-half-inch thick, with controls located on the side of the unit for easy operation. This small device fits neatly into a shirt pocket. Record grandma for an audio-genealogy or interview a famous celebrity -- whether you're recording for personal or professional reasons, you'll be extremely pleased.

The included 16 MB SD memory card uses a high-capacity IC chip. This technology allows you to record over old messages again and again with distortion-free clarity. The RR-XR320 can record a maximum of 150 minutes on the included card. This tiny recorder allows you to record at three different recording modes -- high-quality, standard play, and long play. Store and organize your recordings in nine folders, each with a maximum capacity of 99 files, for a total of 891 storable files.

This recorder features USB connectivity, making it a breeze to connect the RR-XR320 to your computer. The included SD Voice Editor Software helps you work with your digital files. Plus, with the files on your computer you can save, edit, and convert your recordings to be burned onto a CD-ROM or emailed as an attachment.

The advanced digital voice activation recording (VAS) feature actually stops recording during silent pauses, saving valuable recording time. The electret condenser microphone records with superb clarity and the built-in speaker makes it easy to review recordings. The RR-XR320 is also designed with an external microphone and a headphone/earphone jack.

RR-XR320 digital voice recorder........2007-03-01

There is little I can add to the previous reviews. This recorder is exceptional. I love the one I have had for about 3+ years.

One thing that has not been mentioned is that the recorder will not work with an SD card that has greater than 256MB of memory. I guess the manufacturer figured that was big enough.

I could not be more pleased with my XR320. It does appear as though the recorder has been dis-continued, but that is the way of things. Perhaps this might allow you to get one at a lower price than MSRP.

Powerful Tool.......2004-06-04

I acquired one of these about three years ago, and have used it ever since as part of my job as a radio journalist. In HQ mode, recordings made with the internal mic are, despite the 16 khz sampling rate, quite usable, although recordings made feeding line audio via the MIC jack show more of the low frequency response than do those with the MIC.

Most useful, however, is the VCR function which, although only a one time record, allows one to set this in advance to a known source with ON and OFF times. I'm not sure if any other removable media recorder has this feature.

I had no trouble loading v1.0 of the editing software -- it loaded easily to Windows 2000. I just wish the SD card format was supported by some of the main audio editing software such as Adobe Audition.

Overall, highly recommended, although the fact that these are apparently not available anymore makes one think Panasonic may have dropped it from their lineup.

Nice Device Poor Software.......2003-05-07

The title says it all the recorder works well, but as a earlier review said it only has a 16mb SD card. The real problem is that for me, and perhaps I am alone, the software didn't work so I couldn't get my files downloaded to my comp. I am not sure if this is b/c XP is not supported or what. Also the manual refers to online help which either doesn't exist or is too hard to find.

First: the recorder only comes with a 16 mb SD card, not the 64 mb card that is advertised. That fact aside, the unit works very well. The learning curve to figure out how to operate the machine is only about 5 minutes. It has three record quality settings. The standard quality is quite good for most uses. The long play mode is audible enough to be useful, but would not be my preference because of the bass distortion. The high quality is extremely good, but a memory hog. With a separate microphone we have been able to record serviceable music files on high quality. I had about 15 minutes worth of trouble installing the software onto a Win98 computer, but then it decided to install and I was able to download audio files from the recorder via the included USB reader and play them through the computer with excellent sound quality. The main intended use for this recorder is to record college lectures at a distance. In standard mode it has been working well, although when set to voice activation mode, some soft speech may be lost. We operate the recorder with two standard AAA rechargeable batteries. Battery life is good. It would be nice if the recorder was backlit, but you can't have everything. The unit is set up with four folders (memos, meetings, to do list, private) and you can add five more. This is very convenient. Within a folder, everytime you start to record, it saves the information in a new file. In summary, if you are planning to go digital, this is the recorder to buy. It is very compact, but the buttons are conveniently arranged and the playback speaker is surprisingly clear for its size. The microphone has two sensitivity settings. The low sensitivity is useful for making notes in a noisey environment. Generally, we leave it set on high sensitivity. The recorder also allows you to set it to record (and play) at a certain time. I guess that this is a useful feature for spies. If the price had been [lower], I'd have given it a full five stars.
