Sony Shows MZM200 MD Deck

Sony is offering a new version of its Hi-MD MiniDisc recorder.
According to Marketing Director Paul Foschino, “The MZM 200 streamlines the lines set by the MZ100 and goes further by including a spectrum analyzer. USB transfers are now 4x faster and the internal rechargeable battery can now be fully charged via the USB connection.” It retails for $439.
Also of interest to radio, Sony at the spring convention was showing the new MDR-7509 HD headphones, which claim a frequency response to 80 kHz, yet are flatter than the industry-standard MDR 7506.
