Digital Recorders

Choose a digital voice recorder by the recording job you need it to do. For ghost-hunting and EVP sessions, compare practical features before choosing from the products below. A recording alone does not establish a paranormal cause.

Microphones and formats: check built-in microphones, external-microphone compatibility and whether your chosen recording mode supports mono or stereo.
Listening and file transfer: distinguish headphone playback from live monitoring, and check how you will copy recordings to your computer.
Storage and power: confirm internal memory, compatible cards, battery type and charging requirements for the exact model.
Total setup cost: include any separately required card, batteries, headphones or cable.

Compare recorder features side by side, or use our phone-versus-recorder checklist to decide whether you need another device.
