“What is the best audio recorder for me to buy?” We get asked that question quite often at MediaStorm. Unfortunately, there is no easy, universal answer. Everyone’s recording needs are different. Some people are more concerned with sound quality, while others are more concerned about the size of the device or how easy it is to use. Getting solid, detailed information about device options and making an informed decision is a large part of the challenge when buying a portable audio recorder.

To that end, Transom’s Portable Digital Recorder Comparison is an enormous help. They aggregate information for all the available devices in a single, easy-to-digest chart, including sound quality specificatons, device size and pros and cons for each. In the last row of the chart is a link to a detailed review for each recorder.
