OK - Not Slim-line, & Quite Noisy

Product Specifications

The TCM-450DV fits easily in a shirt pocket, but includes a host of great features. Voice operated recording conserves tape space by eliminating soundless passages. One touch recording makes it quick and easy to operate. The durable metal cabinet is resistant to shock and breakage. The large playback speaker is a convenient way to review your recording material. All these features, and the unit weighs only 6 ounces. It provides 15 hours of continuous recording or playback, and its auto shut-off function helps conserve batteries and reduce mechanical wear.
