Unisonic digital answering machine with voice, very neat.

I know you don't know the name of that song or artist unfortunately, but it sounds very much like the song played in the video about the Phone Mate answering machine, you played a song from a cassette tape into the answering machine and I really liked the song, now I realise I'm being annoying, but the two songs sound so similar.

[CassetteMaster]

@Lachlant1984 They are the same song.

[windoes98se]

good sound quality i guess

[Lachlant1984]

Actually this machine would be very easy for someone who is blind to use, because it has speech output and no screen, so anyone who is blind could use this machine.

The answering machine I use is very similar to this one only my brand BellSouth and it has an LED display to show the number of messages. Ive used it for over 13 years now and it still works like a charm.

[Lachlant1984]

I noticed this unit has the same prompt voice as the 1987 model Duophone machine you videoed. My Panasonic answering machine also has very low quality digital recording, but that doesn't matter in my opinion, as the recording codec/format is designed to record speech only, I love the music however, even though it sounds like shit coming out of the answering machine. Digital answering machines are very easy to use.

Digital answering machines are very handy to use, but they use digital compression which makes the audio recording sound awful. If someone is calling from a digital cell phone and leaves a message, the two digital encodings often counteract with each other and render the audio nearly unintelligible.

[CassetteMaster]

Probably! Yeah... Digital cell phone audio sounds wierd, and this has very digitally sound.

[coondogtheman1234]

thats b/c they use a crappy codec to compress the audio and it has a very low sample rate, flash memory is dirt cheap nowadays, I have a bellsouth digital answering machine but has a woman voice and it runs out of memory fast and is slow to start up then says "sorry memory is full" the default greeting says "Hello, Please record a message after the tone" *Beep* I might have a wav file of it on my pc b/c i hooked wires to the speaker to record in high quality from the machine

[Lachlant1984]

I understand what you mean, but I don't experience that problem with my machine, unless the person leaving the message is in a noisy environment.

[Lachlant1984]

@vwestlife You're right about that, I mean I have a Panasonic cordless phone with an answering machine in it and the audio quality is really grainy, very much like this machine, but I don't mind too much, but yeah my step father had a micro cassette based machine that sounded far clearer and cleaner than the digital ones do.

[vladimir88x7]

do u know what music is that?

[CassetteMaster]

Sorry, I don't know the name of it.

[IAmNotAFunguy]

I'd like to see a video of that Microcassette Answering Machine and that Clock/Radio/Cassette unit you showed the time on.

[CassetteMaster]

OK. I have a vid of the clock-radio-cassette up already. I'll soon do one of the Phone Mate.

[IAmNotAFunguy]

You do? Where is it?

[CassetteMaster]

The clock radio vid is way back there in my vids...

[AllAmericanFiveRadio]

Very cool machine!
