20.The following are the results of the tests done by"Family and Home Magazine"on some Pocket Tape-Recorders on the market now.Pearlcorder S702 64
This simple model at the bottom of the Olympus range scored the most points for its excellent quality of recording.Background noise hardly affects the sound and recording from a pocket is perfectly possible,but it doesn't turn off automatically.
Tape length:30minutes per side.Weight:240g.
Sony M9 49.95
Small and very good looking,Sony's latest offering scored most for its appearance.Sounds clear,but there is slight machine noise.The big control buttons are a great improvement on some of the complicated little controls on other tape-recorders.It doesn't switch off automatically,but a red light shows if the machine is still running.
Tape length:60minutes per side.Weight:195g.
Sony M400 115
Lots of little control buttons that make a noise are difficult to use.Recording is good but machine noise loses points.Tape counter and automatic switch-off when tape has finished recording or rewinding are useful.
Tape length:60 minutes per side.Weight:230g.
Imperial OEM MC7 29.95
Cheap and simple compared with the rest,but recording is good as long as there is no background noise.Use only its own-make of cassette.No light to show it is on; no fast-forward button and the record button makes a loud noise.
Tape length:30 minutes per side.Weight:285g.
Philips 585 80
Handsome and simple to use,but recording is very poor at more than the recommended distance of 5 cm-designed for dictation.No recording light.
Tape length:15 minutes per side.Weight:220g.
