Yamaha Pocketrak CX

— Paul Cook December 4, 2009

The Pocketrak CX looks rugged but once pulled from its wrapping you discover it is made of think plastic (the metal-looking microphone housing is similar quality to a cheap child\'s toy). It gives the impression that it needs to be treated like a princess not a tomboy if you want to keep it in reasonable condition.

Along with the fixed line-in record (which I agree with the previous reviewer is limiting) I could not monitor thru the line-in which was surprising and frustrating.

I would have sent this back this but regrettably missed Dolphin\'s excellent 7 day returns window so I hope this review will hope other customers avoid this at all costs.

Yamaha Pocketrax CX review

— Simon Maple November 19, 2009

I purchased a pocketrax CX to record from the line-in source. However I found that the record level only works with the microphone and not the line-in. The Line-in is a fixed level and hence my recordings were very distorted. I had to return the device as “Not fit for purpose”. I can’t believe Yamaha overlooked this.

I have since purchased a Tascam DV-07 which does allow you to adjust the recording level on the line-in input. I also find the Tascam menu system easier to use. The Tascam is a slightly larger unit which I think is positive as it makes it easier to use and the display easier to read.
