5 things to consider before buying a dictaphone

Before you go out and buy a dictaphone, there are many things to consider, as there are many different dictaphones with different functions on this page.

Below, a couple of points are presented that you should include in your considerations to find exactly the dictaphone that will best suit your needs.

#1 Number of microphones

The microphone is one of the most important elements on the dictaphone, as it is the one used to record sound.

Therefore, the quality of the microphone also reflects on the dictaphone itself and its overall quality.

With us, you can not only get dictaphones with one microphone, but actually up to 3 microphones to get the best recorded sound possible.

The more microphones are on the dictaphone, the more sound it can capture in the room. If, for example, you use the dictaphone to record sound from several people in the room, it is not certain that a single microphone is enough.

Conference microphone

With a conference microphone, you can record sound in 360°, which is ideal for meetings.

The conference microphone just needs to be connected to the dictaphone, and then you have the opportunity to record the entire room and get all inputs, etc.

#2 Number of recording hours

Another important point is the number of GB that are on the dictaphone's internal memory. The number of GB (gigabytes) determines how much and partially how long you can record with the dictaphone.

With us, you can find dictaphones between 4 - 8 GB, which is equivalent to 23 - 2147 hours of recording, as long as the battery lasts.

The more GB the dictaphone has, the more and longer you can record without worrying that the internal memory will fill up or that you will lose some of the sound during recordings.

You should choose the number of GB based on what and how long you need to record. If, for example, you are just recording short recordings, then a dictaphone with 4 GB is fine.

If you are recording longer sessions like podcasts or similar, it is a good idea to invest in a dictaphone that has a bit more GB or the option for external memory.

#3 Internal or external memory

If 8 GB is not enough for you and you would like to have a bit more GB and thus more freedom to record without worries, then you should choose a dictaphone that has space for an external memory card.

When you have a dictaphone with external memory, you can significantly expand the memory of your dictaphone compared to the internal memory.

With us you can indeed find a large selection of memory cards to expand the memory in your dictaphone and other devices by up to 512 GB.

With a greater memory capacity, you not only get the opportunity to record for longer periods without worries, but you also don't have to transfer your files or delete them so often to make space for new files.

#4 Size

The size of your dictaphone determines how much space it takes up in your pocket, bag, or backpack. The smaller they are, the easier they are to carry around with you.

Here on the page, you typically find dictaphones that are about 13 cm tall and 5 cm wide. Which is so small and compact that it makes it easy to carry it in your bag.

#5 With batteries or rechargeable batteries

Besides the memory running out, the batteries in the dictaphone can also run out.

With us, you can find dictaphones that use regular batteries, and dictaphones with rechargeable batteries.

With rechargeable batteries, you avoid having to keep fresh batteries at home, for replacing the old batteries when they run out.

Some of our dictaphones come with charging stations, which you just need to place the dictaphone in to charge the rechargeable battery, while other dictaphones need to be connected with a charger plug.
