This guide answers frequently asked questions about the maximum recording length per full battery charge and the total recording duration of the Philips DVT1600 VoiceTracer audio recorder pen before the memory is full.
How long can I record per battery charge?
If the battery of your DVT1600 VoiceTracer audio recorder pen is fully charged, you can achieve a recording length of more than approximately 9 hours.
File size division: For better handling, recordings are automatically divided into files, each lasting one hour. After each hour, a new recording file is automatically created to continue the recording until the battery charge is depleted.
Maximum total recording duration until the memory is full
The absolute limit for recording is determined by the device's storage capacity. Since the DVT1600 VoiceTracer saves in WAV format (approx. 220 MB per hour), the following theoretical total recording length results before the memory is full:
Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Total memory | 28.8 GB (30,957,084,464 bytes) |
| Maximum total recording duration | approx. 5 days, 14 hours, and 21 minutes |
This total time is defined by the storage volume. In mobile use, however, the actual recording length is limited by the 9 hours per battery charge.
Conclusion for on the go: If you need to record longer than 9 hours and do not have a computer for data transfer, you will need a power source to recharge the DVT1600 in between.
Recording duration in working days
To better estimate the theoretical total recording duration, it is calculated here based on a standard 8-hour working day:
The device's total recording duration is 5 days, 14 hours, and 21 minutes, which corresponds to approximately 134.35 hours. We divide this value by the length of a standard working day (8 hours).
The DVT1600 VoiceTracer can thus continuously record material for almost 17 full working days (of 8 hours each) before the internal memory of 28.8 GB is completely filled.
