“Sony designed the new U Series digital notetaker to simplify a broader range of tasks and provide a multi-functional tool for those who want to conduct voice-based and general recordings,” said Sony Australia product manager – personal audio, Suzanna Gan.
“Similar in size to your favourite chocolate bar, the U Series notetaker can be taken with you always to make sure a recording opportunity is never missed.”
