 One of the best additions for an iPod September 4, 2006
ksuwildkat (Monterey, CA)
140 out of 141 found this review helpful
I had previously used the Griffin iTalk for the G3 an G4 iPods and while an excellent product, the sound quality was 8 bit and the range was approximately 6 feet.
The Tune Talk is a significant a step as the change from the original iPod to the video iPod.
Sound Quality - Excellent. With the autogain off the recording is completely hiss free. With autogain on some his and distortion is introduced but it is acceptable. Stereo separation is good, excellent when you consider how small the microphone is. The two quality settings - high and low - correspond to 44.1 kHz (CD quality) and 22 kHz.
Format - the files are in the WAV format and run about 10MB per minute I high quality mode. These can easily be converted in to mp3 or any other format.
Features - The built in Autogain makes recording in large rooms or even outdoor settings practical. I have used it in small classrooms (10 person), large auditoriums (90 person) and outdoor theaters (200+ people). The quality is exceptional considering the small size. There is also an external input for either an microphone or line input (1/8th inch stereo) that allows your iPod to serve as a storage device for a higher quality recording setup. I used a direct input from one iPod to another using a male/male cable and there was no noticeable loss of quality. I am sure if you put the recordings on an analyzer you would see a difference but my ears couldn't tell. I have used this to digitize old analog tape recordings with excellent results.
Controls are minimal. Plug it into the dock connector and your iPod automatically goes to the record menu. Press the Play/pause button and you begin recording. Once recording begins the center button acts as a pause. Once your are done, scroll the clickwheel to "Stop and Save." When the save is complete, you go to a menu with your recording. File names are a date/time stamp. If you have the Tune talk already attached but you are doing something else (listening to music) you can go straight to the recording menu by pressing a button on the left of the Tune Talk. On the bottom along with the autogain and line input is a mini USB connector that allows you to power your iPod while recording. Recordings eat battery life fast. At full power you can get about 90 minutes of recording from a battery. After hat you run the risk of running out of juice during the disk write operation. Belkin includes the cable (nice) and a plastic holder that allows hands free recording (also nice).
The uses for the Tune Talk are only limited by your imagination. I use them in an education setting for spoken homework and recording lessons. I have also used them to record meetings, record plays and even notes to myself. The Tune Talk would make an excellent device for an on the fly Podcast. Combined with Apples GarageBand you could record, mix and post a podcast in a matter of minutes.
Highly recommended.

Awesome product - couldn't be easier to use. I recommend getting the iPod AC adapter too, which plugs right in the bottom of the Belkin TuneTalk. I use it to record my Acoustic Solo gigs. I record directly into it through RCA jacks out of my PA (You'll need an RCA to 1/8" mini adapter)and I've recorded using the built-in Microphones. Both are great, and I'm still experimenting with it. I just purchased an Audio Technica Stereo Condenser Mic and a 25 foot headphone extension cable, (with 1/8" male & female ends), so I can get the mic in front of the speakers. I 100% recommend it - the other ones don't allow you to use an AC adapter - The battery will drain quickly without it.
Works with a new "Classic" iPod December 1, 2007

I don't think it mentions it - but it does work fine with a Classic 80gig iPod. Actually it works extremely well for recording college classes. No issues - easy to operate.
Best one out there for opera singers March 28, 2007
Opera Singer (NYC, NY USA)

As a opera singer looking to record my lessons in a small studio, I have been very pleased with this recorder. While my voice is loud, and so is the piano, by changing the settings to low I rarely have any interference noise, and the quality of the recording is near CD quality!
I don't write reviews, but I wanted to let any other singers know that I was very pleased and I highly recommend this recorder over the others (a friend at my conservatory has another one for the iPod Video that is no where near as good, he's selling hsi to buy this one).
Excellent Product. - Great for Musician's. June 15, 2007

I ordered the Belkin Tunetalk about 2 months ago, and it's been great. I purchased it to use recording voice lessons, and music rehearsals, and it's been fantastic. The built in level function on the mic keeps things from overloading even in a full blown opera rehearsal, and it is still sensitive enough to pick up what the conductor says at 60+ feet away. In voice lessons/coaching sessions, it picks up both piano and voices clearly without drowning one or the other out.
I've even begun using it just a a personal voice recorder for memo's and reminders. It's great. The one drawback is the limit of 90 minutes battery time.
The USB pass through is great. The interface is childishly easy, and works smoothly and effortlessly with iTunes. Highly recommend.
