What Is the S1 Court Reporter Recorder?
```The S1 is a professional digital recorder package prepared by Martel for court reporters who need dependable courtroom and deposition audio. It is small enough to carry every day, powerful enough for room recording, and simple enough for daily use.
The S1 records in high-quality WAV/PCM and MP3 formats, stores files on internal memory or microSD card, and connects to your computer with USB for file transfer.
The recorder organizes files by recording date and file number, making it easier to find the right recording after a job, hearing, deposition, or meeting.
```Protect the Record With a Dedicated Backup Recorder
Court reporters know that clear backup audio can make all the difference. The S1 gives you a dedicated recorder for the room, so you are not relying on a complicated setup when the record matters.
Place the S1 in the courtroom or deposition room, press record, and let the built-in microphone system capture the proceeding while you work. With date-organized files, long battery life, Hearing Helper live listening, and a hard carrying case, the S1 is made to be a dependable part of your daily court reporting kit.
| Your Audio Safety Net Use the S1 as a dedicated backup recorder for courtrooms, depositions, hearings, meetings, and interviews. | Ready for Every Job Recorder, rechargeable batteries, USB cable, AC adapter, SanDisk microSD card, and black hard-shell carrying case in one complete package. |
Smart Tools That Help Court Reporters Review Audio
Courtroom and deposition rooms are not always perfect. People sit far away, voices can be soft, and background noise can make playback harder to review. The S1 includes voice-focused playback tools that help make difficult recordings easier to work with.
| Playback Noise Cancel Helps reduce surrounding noise during playback when voices are hard to understand. | Voice Balancer Helps raise quiet portions of a recording so soft voices are easier to review. |
| Playback Speed Control Slow audio down when words are difficult, or speed through sections when you are reviewing a long file. | Voice Playback Helps focus playback on spoken portions, useful when reviewing long spoken-word recordings. |
Find Your Recordings Faster
The S1 is designed to make recorded files easier to find later. This matters when you record multiple proceedings, depositions, hearings, or meetings in the same week.
| Date-Stamped File Names Recordings are automatically named with the recording date, file number, and audio format. | Calendar Search Find recordings by the day they were made instead of digging through confusing file lists. | Index Marks Mark important spots in supported recordings, such as a witness change, recess, or key statement. |
Hearing Helper Live Listening
Plug headphones into the S1 and listen live while the recorder is picking up the room. The S1 can help boost what you hear through your headphones so voices are easier to monitor.
This is helpful when voices are soft, distant, or hard to hear clearly. It also lets you confirm that the recorder is capturing audio before the proceeding gets too far along.
- Plug headphones directly into the S1.
- Listen live while recording.
- Helps boost room voices through your headphones.
- Great for checking audio before and during a proceeding.
- Useful for courtrooms, depositions, hearings, and meetings.
Built-In Microphones — No External Microphone Required for Most Courtroom Use
```The S1 uses a built-in 3-microphone system designed to capture clear voice audio. For many court reporters, this means you do not have to set up an external microphone just to make a strong backup recording.
Place the S1 in a good recording position, start recording, and monitor with headphones when needed.
| 100-Foot Voice Pickup Designed for strong room pickup in courtrooms, depositions, hearings, and meetings. | Low-Cut Filter Helps reduce low room rumble during recording, such as HVAC noise or other low-frequency background sound. | Pre-Record Safety Capture Can begin capturing audio just before you press record, helping reduce the chance of missing the first words. |
