D10 Linear PCM-Recorder D Series
Studio sessions, live gigs, interviews in the field – capture it all in flawless quality with the PCM-D10 portable audio recorder.
Record professional sound with Hi-Res Audio at up to 192kHz/24 bit. Whether it’s your live music set, new podcast episode or breaking news report, the PCM-D10 unlocks a new level of detail and texture.
No external mic? No problem. The PCM-D10 comes with three-way adjustable built-in mics with low noise and a wide frequency range, so you’re always ready to capture impeccable sound. And with three recording positions, you can adapt to your situation. Choose XY for music performances, zoom for interviews and discussions, or wide stereo for open and outdoor spaces.
You can connect your favourite outboard gear to the PCM-D10 for high-quality two-channel recording. Compatible with XLR and TRS connectors, the twin jacks give you more choice over your sources, from mics and mixers to keyboards. These jacks are independently mic or line level switchable and have independent 48V phantom power. And because their push-lock connection keeps your cables locked in place, you can be sure you always get the take – even if you're at a bustling live show or reporting on the run.
Combining two top-of-the-line AK4558 A/D D/A converters with our own high-quality technology, the PCM-D10 raises the bar for your recordings. The dual AK4558 converters work in tandem to maximise S/N and allow you to capture flawless sound at up to 192kHz.
With the variable analog gain amplifier, you can dial in your audio levels with precision. The recorder features independent dials for your L and R channels, so you’re free to adjust both, or just one, of your inputs. And because these are high-quality analog controls, you can adjust the gain smoothly, without the step noise that can be encountered with digital volume.
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 of the headphone output.
Every detail, right down to the circuit board, has been engineered so that you can record the very best quality sound. The analog and digital circuits are totally separated on the board, reducing interference and delivering superior S/N.
A specially designed shield stops noise from interfering at the XLR/TRS jack.
The PCM-D10 is equipped with two 3300uF capacitors, which eliminate power ripples so you can record clear, distortion-free sound.
Harnessing dual ADCs, the PCM-D10 captures impeccable audio files, even in situations where the sound would be lost on other recorders.

With High S/N mode, you can stop worrying about lost low levels. The PCM-D10’s two ADCs record at different gain levels and when very low signals are being captured, the device automatically switches to the lower gain ADC – utilising its low noise floor to capture quiet sounds with high fidelity – which the DSP then seamlessly incorporates into the main recording. The result? Clear recordings for even the most dynamic performances.
The Digital Limiter lets you make great-sounding recordings, even at high levels. When saturation occurs, the recorder will automatically fill clipped portions with a back-up recording at as much as -12dB. This means that even if volume spikes, you can be confident you’ve captured the flawless files you need.
