Alesis Introduces iPod Based Recorder

Apparently there’s a lot of interest in turning iPods into portable digital recorders.  I mentioned the Belkin unit recently and then just today I saw this puppy from Alesis.  I guess the utility of having your recorder and your player as one unit is an advantage over having a separate unit.  The more I see these items though I’m reminded of the old adage, “Jack of all trades, master of none.”

Alesis ProTrack

Here are some of the features of the ProTrack that you might be interested in:

• Integrated iPod design
• Records to iPod (Classic or 5th Generation), or iPod nano (2nd or 3rd Generation)
• Professional connectors: two combination XLR - 1/4-inch inputs, 1/8-inch stereo output
• Supplies 48V phantom power to inputs when wall-powered
• Records 16-Bit, 44.1kHz or 22kHz stereo
• Two built-in condenser microphones for detailed recording
• Built-in microphones in XY configuration for optimum stereo image
• Switchable limiter ensures overload-free recordings even in unpredictable aural situations
• AC power adapter included
• Four AAA batteries provide up to five hours of operation
• Tripod stand mount for placing into ideal recording conditions

If the ProTrack fits the bill for you, check out the link below for more information. It’s set to be released in the third quarter of 2008.
