**Captain Overfit here, and today we're diving into the BOYA Notra Neo – a voice recorder that might just earn its wings. If you're tired of convoluted tech that leaves you in a tailspin, this device…
Place the recorder on a table, press the recording button, and let it do its thing.
Whether someone was sitting nearby or farther across the room, voices were picked up easily.
If you need a little extra sensitivity, you can adjust the microphone gain to capture quieter voices.
Just remember, increasing microphone gain can also amplify background noise, so don't just crank everything to maximum and hope for the best.
That's the audio equivalent of turning up the cockpit radio because you can't understand air traffic control.
Now, you can't understand air traffic control, but you've also damaged your hearing.
But for meetings, lectures, interviews, brainstorming sessions, or simply documenting conversations, the standalone recording mode works well.
As a former pilot, I appreciate equipment that works when you press the button.
