iKey Audio to USB Drive Portable Recorder

The iKey uses commonly available USB drives as it media. Hook up your external USB drive to record from the DJ/church's mixer's RCA outs. Or plug in a "flash" or "thumb" drive for a truly compact and portable recording solution. And unlike other "portable" recorders who use their own file format, iKey uses standard uncompressed WAV or various MP3 rates - no conversion needed! An LED indicator tells you how much space is left on your target drive. Runs on batteries or included power supply. It has RCA stereo inputs and a level control with clip indicator.


Looks like prices vary between $80-$100

"Standard WAV"? What happened to good old 48KHz/16-bit AIFF?

WAV isn't a standard, it's a Windows thing. Conversion needed! :smile:
