March 7th, 2008Belkin Podcast: Recording for Ipods
You can make a podcast with a microphone and any recording medium, but if you’re in fact getting serious about podcasting, you’ll want something movable and battery powered that has good sound.
Belkin seems to have just the ticket with its upcoming Podcast Studio. The Podcast Studio uses an iPod as its processor and recording medium. The machine does not include a mic, but the 1/4-inch and XLR inputs denote that the mic of your choice won’t be a problem. It has a recording meter, gain control, and even a compressor to make sure that your recordings won’t come out sounding distorted.
The device uses the iPod’s voice recording feature, so it records in WAV as opposite to MP3. The Belkin Podcast Studio works with the 5G iPod, iPod Classic, and the 3G iPod Nano. It’s should have a June 2008 lunches.
