Better Audio Recording

High Quality Packed In A Sleek Design

The new VP-20, designed for effortless digital business and seminar recording. Ultra-compact, but packed with a host of convenient features, this high-quality stereo recorder provides instant operation and clear recordings.

Anti-Rustle Filter

Unique audio recorder technology automatically identifies the difference between a voice and a rustling sound to effectively suppress the unwanted sound only. This means that the noise generated when recording from your shirt pocket is eliminated - achieving a low-noise, clear recording.

Two Formats To Suit Your Needs

Select from two recording formats: the high-quality uncompressed Linear PCM format (22.05kHz); the most versatile MP3 format, which is used by both Windows and Mac users.

Now Everyone Can Be Heard

The Voice Balancer feature makes softer voices louder while keeping louder voices below a given level, ensuring that playback is clear and consistent. It simultaneously eliminates the low and high frequency ranges of a recording to enhance the speaker's voice even further.

Enjoy Crisp, Clear Playback

Ideal for recording meetings, the Noise Cancel function powerfully reduces unwanted ambient sounds for crisper, clearer playback quality.

Less Noise. More Sound.

The Low-cut Filter efficiently eliminates lower-frequency noise such as air conditioners, projectors and outdoor wind to allow for even clearer voice recordings.

Easy-To-Use

Operational Ease

The VP-20 is easy to operate with user-friendly navigation and an integrated USB, all in a sleek design.

Instant Operation

Simply slide down the REC switch - the voice recorder instantly starts recording even when the power is off. The switch is located on the top of the recorder, which is convenient when recording from your shirt pocket. You can blindly operate the VP-20 voice recorder so that you never miss a conversation again.

Clip

Thanks to the streamlined design and convenient clip, keep the recorder within reach on a bag or pocket and be ready to record at a moment's notice.

Integrated USB

The VP-20 can be instantly slotted into a PC for data transfer via the built-in USB connector.

Find What You're Looking For. Fast.

When you have many files stored in the digital voice recorder, this function lets you easily and conveniently select the precise file you're looking for. Access to this function is fast, reducing delays caused by long searches.

Optimized Settings for Optimal Results

At a simple selection from the menu, you can choose optimum recording settings according to specific scenes. Pocket Mode is effective for recording a wide range of voices when the device is in your pocket. With Dictation, Conference or Meeting modes, you can easily capture fail-proof, high-quality recordings.

Ideal Playback Listening

Speech Shadowing is an effective way to learn a foreign language - allowing you to repeat what you hear right after hearing it. This mode combines audio playback with silent playback in succession to help you easily learn any language.

Easy File Management

The File Divide function is useful when you want to manage your recordings in a separate file. It is also handy if you would like to downsize the file before sending it via e-mail. (Only with Linear PCM and MP3 format files.)
