Fresh from CES, Belkin has me all excited with the announcement of their Podcast Studio for iPod.
Using the iPod for storage this promising device docks with your iPod (3G Nano, 5G iPod or Classic only) and provides you with a very mobile recording studio.
Equipped with an internal mic and speaker you also have the ability to plug in two 3.5mm mics or a more professional XLR mic. Running off 2 x AAA batteries will provide 2 hours of recording and also conserve the battery on your iPod allowing you to continue using your iPod once finished recording.
Sporting features such as a recording meter, gain control and compressor/limiter lead us to believe that this will be a very powerful and useful tool for podcasters out in the field.
Recording is done via the iPods voice recording feature and is captured in .wav format and imported into iTunes the next time you sync your iPod ready to be mixed and edited.
Expected to be released in June 2008 for the very impressive price of $99.99 US (compared to it’s competitors although aimed more at professionals) this will hopefully be a very useful tool for the up and coming podcaster.
