How much recording time is available in the DM-10?
The length of the potential recording time available in the DM-10 is governed by the quality mode that is selected. When a quality mode is selected, a number of audio file properties are put into place that determine the level of detail of the saved file data. A higher-quality data file saves more detailed information and creates a larger data file that uses more memory space. A lower-quality recording makes a less-detailed data file, so the memory goes a lot farther. The table below shows the maximum recording times possible (assuming there are no other files saved on the recorder). Quality Mode Maximum Recording Time Stereo HQ Mode 2 Hours 10 Minutes HQ Mode 4 Hours 20 Minutes SP Mode 10 Hours 25 Minutes LP Mode 22 Hours 10 Minutes The different quality modes save the digital record of the recording with different levels of faithfulness to the original sound. The Stereo HQ Mode is recommended for music, drama, or interviews that may be made for broadcast. Stereo HQ (High Quality) Mod
