Yamaha Pocketrax CX review

Simon Maple
November 19, 2009

Rating: 5/10

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.
