For Professionals By Professionals

The handheld MD recorders used to be very popular among journalists/reporters working in the field despite its compromised reliability caused by mechanical operation. Some of them choose to buy the few very highly priced IC recorders with merely basic features for professional news gathering. The launch of PAW-100 powered by Infomedia technology, the first generation of PAW series of IC recorder, two years ago completely changed the scene of professional handheld recorders chosen by field reports.

To my surprise, it took about 30 minutes and I was convinced that this little gadget called Paw120 would completely change my attitude towards high-tech and my own journalist work.

Paw120 is as simple to use as your own cell phone. Actually it is easier. Through every step it works very logically and requires only 20 minutes of practise from its new user and you will have a loyal friend for the rest of your life.

The navigation system is clear and simple and adjusting the sound level is just about as challenging as pushing "play" on your stereo.

The best part is of course that all radio-stations appreciate the amazing sound quality. This is how Paw120 turns a common journalist into a professional who not just delivers the content, but also meets the technical requirements wherever s/he works.
