I do legal video " depositions". The court reporters like to have an audio back up and I used to give them a c-120 audio cassette tape. Now I record in Digital to a usb stick drive through the iKey M-3 and then transfer the audio directly to the court reporter's laptop at the deposition. The audio sounds great, it's extremely easy to use and I am already receiving compliments from my clients! Although it will accept an AC adaptor, none is offered through the manufacturer or listed under Accessories when ordering this unit from B&H.

Comments about Ikey Audio M3 Portable Digital Audio Recorder:
I needed to record lectures from an existing PA system, and thought the M3 would work, but it had a few problems that made me return it. It is not Mac compatible. You need a card reader to access the files you make. It does not put a correct date on the files. The screen is tiny and difficult to read. The unit itself is kind of big and clunky compared to its competition. I ended up buying a Tascam DR-05.

Comments about Ikey Audio M3 Portable Digital Audio Recorder:
I am both a Radio DJ And Mobile DJ.The M3 Portable Digital Audio Recorder is a must have tool for all DJ's. I use it to record my Dj Sets and also Live station liners from listeners on remotes. The sound quality is great. The only draw back is the battery life could be better. But For the price, you could not ask for more.

Comments about Ikey Audio M3 Portable Digital Audio Recorder:
I needed a good MP3/WAV recorder for work. I just needed a LINE IN connection. I saw the Tascam units and they where just to flimsy. This item is very sturdy and robust. I am thinking about getting the Ikey HDR-7 with the mic inputs as well.

Comments about Ikey Audio M3 Portable Digital Audio Recorder:
As a DJ, I use this to record sets I play.
Its easy to use and on a 2gb card I can record 3 hours in Wav format.
The recordings sound great, and its real easy to use.
The record metering takes a bit of getting use to, make sure you leave plenty of headroom for dynamics in tunes!

Comments about Ikey Audio M3 Portable Digital Audio Recorder:
I am doing a documentary on myself and have a lapel mic connected to the M3 digital recorder. I then leave the digital recorder in my pocket and am able to record my conversation and those around me. It has easy functions, it looks durable, its straight forward. Nothing I don't like about it. I cant get stereo to work but I think that is my mic issue. I'm not sure.

Easy-to-understand instructions, easy to use.
i used this unit for a live band recording and i'm glad i chose this device over more expensive CD recorders.

Highly recommended!

Comments about Ikey Audio M3 Portable Digital Audio Recorder:
Rugged construction and intuitive controls. The start up time is a little slow, which might be a problem in "run and gun" situations. In addition, I found the audio a bit nosier than I would like, but being careful about levels seems to mitigate the situation.
