Features

Circuit board designed to prevent noise
Look beneath the case of the PCM-D10 and you'll find a circuit board engineered to give you the highest sound quality. The analog and digital circuits are totally separated on the board, reducing interference and boosting signal-to-noise. We've also positioned the amp blocks close to the inputs for the clearest possible transmission.

Analog headphone amp for pitch-perfect playback
Whether you're monitoring live or reliving the performance, you'll enjoy clear, detailed audio and high output power from the PCM-D10's high-quality MAX9723 analog headphone amp. This also features an integrated analog volume controller for smooth adjustment.

High S/N mode
With high S/N mode, you can stop worrying about lost low levels. The PCM-D10s two ADCs record at different volumesone regular and one lowerand if any low levels are lost, the device automatically replaces these sections with audio captured at -12 dB. The result? Clear recordings for even the most dynamic performances.

Power supplied by batteries or USB-TypeC
Choose from different power supply options to match your recording environment. USB Type-C can be more suited to studio time, while dry cell batteries (4xAA) are ideal for recording in the field.

Digital Limiter
The Digital Limiter lets you make interruption-free recordings, even at high levels. When saturation occurs, the recorder will automatically fill clipped portions with a back-up recording at as much as -12 dB. This means that even if volume spikes, you can be confident you've captured the flawless files you need.

Never miss a beat with push-lock jacks
The PCM-D10 features a push-lock jack that keeps your cables locked in place, so you can be sure you'll always get the take even if you're at a bustling live show or reporting on the run.

Never lose sight of your L and R levels
An easy-to-read, on-screen display shows separate peak levels for your L and R channels, so you can see just where you need to tweak your inputs.

Capture more with up to 256 GB of SD card storage
With 16 GB internal memory, you're always ready to lay down Hi-Res recordings. And with the capacity to add up to 256 GB of SD card storage, you can record professional audio, even through the longest sessions. Plus, if you turn on Cross-Memory REC mode, the recorder will automatically switch to SD card when you exceed the internal memory, so you can be sure you never miss a take.

Three peak lamps to keep your levels in check
Just one look and you can check if you're recording at safe levels thanks to the PCM-D10's three peak level lamps. These will light up to indicate if your levels hit -20 dB, -12 dB or overload. You can also monitor full bandwidth stereo levels on the display or via the Sony REC Remote app.
