Main Features

• The DW-90 has three recording modes: HQ (High Quality) mode, SP (Standard

Playback) mode, and LP (Long Playback) mode.

• The Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) reduces memory usage by pausing

recording when it senses silence.

• Recorded sound files can be stored in three separate folders (up to 100 files per

folder).

• Back lighting to illuminate the LCD panel allows you to read the display in the

dark.

• The USB cabel and Digital Wave Player-Software allow you to record sound files

directly on PC.

• The high-quality directional microphone helps you clearly record from a sound

source aimed at with the microphone.
