Editorial Review:
Sony Corporation is proud to introduce its M-100MC Mic 'n micro microcassette recorder. Uni-Directional Microphone minimizes recording of peripheral sounds and is ideal for recording speaker at lectures and presentations. 3 Mic Sensitivity Modes (Lecture/Normal/Dictation) lets you select best pickup sensitivity for recording a wide range of applications, from close-up personal dictation to large meetings. Desktop Mic Stand allows the recorder to be set down on table or desk for hands-free operation. Voice Operated Recording (VOR) automatically activates the recorder only when audible sound is present, conserving tape and eliminating lengthy noiseless passages on recordings. Clear Voice Sound System enhances voice quality during recording and playback for greater clarity. Cue Marker Indexing lets you place an electronic "mark" at specific tape segments, and provides rapid access during Cue and Review. 3-Digit Tape Counter provides a Digital display of tape elapsed for rapid access to a particular section of the tape during playback. 3 LED Indicator visibly indicates recording level and condition of battery power, in three segments. Playback Speaker is unobtrusive, and lets you and others hear playback without an earphone. Automatic Shut-Off helps reduce mechanical wear and conserves battery power. Pause Switch temporarily halts recording or playback without leaving that mode, and resumes at the flick of a button. Cue/Review Function provides sound during fast Forward and Rewind modes to help find specific passages. Hand Strap Attached affords very convenient one-hand use of unique design, similar to using a videocassette camera.
This unidirectional microphone minimizes the recording of peripheral sounds and is ideal for recording lectures and presentations. There are three microphone sensitivity modes (lecture, normal, and dictation) which let you select the best pickup sensitivity for recording a wide range of applications, from close-up personal dictation to large meetings.
The desktop microphone stand allows the recorder to be set down on a table or desk for hands-free operation. The voice-operated recording automatically activates the recorder only when audible sound is present, conserving tape and eliminating lengthy noiseless passages on recordings. The Clear Voice sound system enhances voice quality during recording and playback for greater clarity. The Cue Marker indexing feature lets you place an electronic "mark" at specific tape segments, and provides rapid access during cue and review. The fast playback feature plays tape 20 percent faster than normal speed and reduces the time needed to review recordings.
This unit will record up to 19 hours using just two AA batteries. The three-digit tape counter provides a digital display of tape elapsed for rapid access to a particular section of the tape during playback. The LED indicator visibly indicates recording level and condition of battery power in three segments.
The playback speaker is unobtrusive and lets you and others hear playback without an earphone. The automatic shut-off helps reduce mechanical wear and conserves battery power. The pause switch temporarily halts recording or playback without leaving that mode, and resumes at the flick of a button. The two-speed operation (1.2/2.4 centimeters per second) feature gives you the option of recording on a standard microcassette for twice its normal time, for extended dictation or recording sessions.
This unit also includes a cue/review function that provides sound during fast-forward and rewind modes to help find specific passages. The earphone jack provides individual listening to playback for privacy.
Another handy feature is the hinged battery lid, which helps prevent accidental loss or damage. The strap affords a very convenient one-hand use, similar to using a videocassette camera. A DC-in jack allows for two-way power operation, using replaceable batteries or an optional AC power adapter.

Rating:  - Nice recorder
This is a Sony. Need I say any more. You get what you pay for and this is a nice micro-recorder at a nice price.
Rating:  - Works for a Little While
I honestly don't know what to think of microcassette recorders. You figure Sony has to produce a good one; after all, it's Sony. Well, not necessarily. I bought one of these because I do occasional taped interviews. It seemed to work well and always got the attention of the people I interviewed. But alas, it lasted for only about three months, then it stopped recording. It soon after stopped playing, as well. No one abused it, dropped it or subjected it to any jolts. It just stopped working...which ... Read More
Rating: - Not so great as you'd think
I thought this would be the end-all, be-all solution to my microcassette needs, which include field recordings, music ideas, dictation and lecture. It's not...I tried three models, thinking each time it was just a bad model, but each one had an enourmous amount of flutter on playback, as if everything recorded was being twanged with a whammy bar. Too large and bulky for standard dictation needs as well, you can do better for dication with a smaller one.
Rating: - Works great!!!
Best micro recorder I've ever had. And I've one througt a number of them with all the dictating I do in a day.
This is a well made machine, with a good mic.
Rating: - A little better than the average recorder
In the hunt for something to help me with my college studies, I decided to grab this particular microcassette recorder/player to tape my instructors' class lectures. So far, I've found it to be a pretty good study aid. Although the recording quality still isn't as top-notch as I'd hoped it'd be, it's still a bit better than many mid-to-lower-end recorders I've used and tried out.
The lecture setting is good if you're in a class where the instructor just gives his spiel, and doesn't field that many ... Read More
