Introduction
The STC-H203 pocket stereo digital voice recorder (hereafter – Gnome-2M
c
) is a professional
sound recording unit. It is designed to be used for on-line (spontaneous, non-prepared) recording of
speech signals in poor acoustic conditions, indoors and outdoors, using built-in or external micro-
phones.
Recorded sound is stored on removable Compact Flash I memory cards. Mono-recording mode
and data compression can be used to increase overall record duration. Recording may be started and
stopped manually or automatically, according to timers or gain level (Voice Activation Mode).
The device is controlled by a set of external switches, LCD panel and headphones. The built-in
clock automatically sets time and date of start and end of each recording session. All the data are
simultaneously protected. This feature ensures authenticity of recorded data and provides protection
from unauthorized access. Playback of recordings is possible either directly from the Voice Recorder
(an 8-digit PIN code is required) or by means of special software.
Slim design, solid 2mm thick metal case, no kinematic noise and electromagnetic radiation allow
voice recording to be concealed and greatly decrease the probability of recording detection and
suppression by special equipment.
Gnome-2M
c
may be optionally supplied with additional STC’s hard- and software according to
the user’s requirements. Check www.speechpro.com for detailed information.
