We swear by little (backup) audio recorders like this one.  This audio recorder has a great pickup range and if/when something goes wrong, this little audio recorder can carry the production while technical issues are resolved.

There are several boards and committees who use an audio recorder like this to record their meetings, then WHCA is able to add a video element to that audio coverage and share it on cable and YouTube for viewers in Whitman-Hanson to review.  If you’re looking for a simple audio recorder there’s a lot out there like the Sony ICD-UX570 Digital Voice Recorder which we’re showing, but this one has proven to have great sound quality to us, and it therefore bears our recommendation.
