HKM-5853651 Mini Voice Recorder with 8GB Memory Noise Reduction Chip 192 Kbps Recording and a Built-In 30 Hour Battery
HKM-5853651
Water Drop, One Button
The HKM-5853651 is a voice recorder shaped as a water drop, small enough to hang from a key ring. A slide switch on the face starts and stops the recording, and the shell measures about 1.6 by 1.1 by 0.2 inches. Inside there is 8GB of memory and a noise reduction chip, and the recorder writes audio at 192 Kbps with a 48 KHz sample rate. A lithium battery runs the unit for up to about 30 hours, and a USB socket on the edge takes the charge. The shell comes in dark gray and in blue.
Key Features
Six details that shape how the HKM-5853651 is built and how it records.
A Water Drop Shell
The body is shaped as a rounded water drop rather than a box, with a loop at the top for a key ring or a lanyard. The shape is what lets it hang inside a pocket or sit flat on a desk without standing out.
8GB of Memory Inside
The recorder carries 8GB of memory rather than a card, so there is nothing to fit before the first recording. The recording quality can be set lower when capacity matters more than detail.
A Noise Reduction Chip
A noise reduction chip works on the signal as it is captured, which is what keeps a recording usable in a room with a fan or a road outside. The gain adjusts on its own when the sound level changes.
192 Kbps at 48 KHz
Recordings are written at 192 Kbps with a 48 KHz sample rate, which is the range that suits speech as well as music. The quality holds up when a file is played back at full volume on a computer.
One Slide Switch
A single slide switch on the face starts and stops the recording, so nothing has to be navigated to begin. That is what makes the unit practical one-handed, with the switch felt rather than looked at.
About 30 Hours on a Charge
The lithium battery runs for up to about 30 hours, which covers a week of short sessions or a long conference. Charging goes through the USB socket on the edge of the shell.

Recording And Charging
How the switch, the noise chip and the battery work together.
The HKM-5853651 is a voice recorder with no card and no menu to work through before a recording. A single slide switch on the face starts and stops the capture, and the switch is felt rather than looked at, which is what lets the unit be used one-handed from a pocket. Inside, 8GB of memory holds the files and a noise reduction chip works on the signal as it arrives, so a room with background sound still produces a usable recording. Files are written at 192 Kbps with a 48 KHz sample rate, and the lithium battery runs up to about 30 hours.

Why Choose the HKM-5853651
Six further reasons the HKM-5853651 goes into a pocket.
Started Without Looking
The slide switch is found by feel on the face of the shell, so a recording can be started with the unit still in a pocket. A recorder that needs a menu is one that misses the first sentence.
Small Enough to Hang
The drop shape and the loop at the top let the recorder hang from a key ring or a lanyard rather than taking up space in a bag. It weighs little enough to forget it is there.
Keeps a Room Out of the Way
The noise reduction chip and the self-adjusting gain work on the signal as it arrives, which is what keeps a recording usable where a fan, a road or a crowd is running in the background.
Quality That Plays Back Loud
At 192 Kbps and a 48 KHz sample rate, a recording holds together when it is played back at full volume on a computer rather than turning harsh. That is the range that suits speech and music alike.
A Week From One Charge
About 30 hours of run time comes from the built-in lithium battery, so a week of short sessions or a full conference fits into one charge. Charging goes through the same USB socket used to move the files.
No Card to Lose
Because the 8GB is inside the shell, there is nothing to fit and nothing to drop on a carpet. Files move to a computer over the USB cable when the recording has been made.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about the HKM-5853651 voice recorder.
How do I start a recording?
Push the slide switch on the face of the shell, which starts the recording without a menu or a button combination. Push it back to stop, and the file is saved to the built-in memory. Do a short test first with the recorder where it will actually sit, because the position of the unit decides how much of the room comes through along with the voice. Make a short test and listen back before a long session.
How much can it hold?
The recorder has 8GB of memory built in rather than a card, which holds a long run of sessions at the standard recording rate. The rate can be lowered when capacity matters more than detail, and the memory shows up as a drive when the unit is connected to a computer. Move the files off after a project rather than leaving them on the recorder. Move the files off after a project rather than leaving them on.
How is the sound quality?
Recordings are written at 192 Kbps with a 48 KHz sample rate, and a noise reduction chip works on the signal as it arrives. That pairing is what keeps a recording usable in a room with a fan or a road outside. Play a test file back at full volume before a long session, so the position of the recorder can be changed if the room is loud. Check the position of the recorder before the meeting starts.
How long does the battery last?
The built-in lithium battery runs for up to about 30 hours, which covers a week of short sessions or a full conference. Charging goes in through the USB socket on the edge of the shell, and a full charge takes a few hours. Charge the recorder before a long session rather than part way through, since a flat unit in the middle of a meeting loses the rest of it. Charge it before a long session rather than part way through.
Is it legal to record a conversation?
The law on recording a conversation differs between countries and between states, so check the rules where the recording is being made before pressing the switch. In many places a recording made without the knowledge of the other people is not admissible and can itself be an offence. The recorder is intended for interviews, meetings and personal notes where the people present know a record is being kept. Check the rules where the recording is being made.
How do I move the files?
Connect the recorder to a computer with the USB cable, and the memory shows up as a drive with the recordings on it. Copy the files across and then free the space on the recorder rather than filling it up over several projects. Disconnect the cable properly before putting the unit away, so the memory is not left mid-write. Disconnect the cable properly before the unit is put away.
Quick Troubleshooting
Common HKM-5853651 points and what to check first.
Nothing is recorded
Check the slide switch first, because the recorder only captures while the switch is held in the recording position rather than being a push button. Make a short test and play it back before a long session, so the switch and the position of the unit are both known. Charge the unit first if it has been in a drawer for months. The switch is held in position rather than pushed and released.
The recording is faint
A faint recording usually comes from the unit being buried under cloth or left in a bag, so move it out into the open and test again. Play the file back through the earphones rather than the phone speaker, which makes the level easier to judge. A room with the gain working hard will still record a whisper faintly, so check the position before the meeting rather than during it. Sort by date rather than by name to find the latest file.
Background noise dominates
The noise reduction chip works well on a steady hum rather than on a nearby conversation, so move the recorder away from the noisiest source in the room. Away from a fan, a window or a doorway is usually enough. Check the position by recording thirty seconds of the room before the session starts and listening to it back. Away from a fan, a window or a doorway is usually enough.
It will not charge
Try another USB socket and another cable first, because the lead is the part that fails soonest. Watch for the charge indication when the cable goes in, and give a unit that has been flat for months an hour before deciding. Never force the plug, because the socket on the edge of the shell is small and easy to damage. Never force the small plug, because the socket damages easily.
The files are hard to find
Connect the recorder to a computer and open the memory as a drive, where the recordings sit in folders by date. Sort by date rather than by name, since the recorder names files as it goes. Copy the ones that are wanted and then free the space, so the next project starts with a readable list. Charge the unit and free space before the next project.
It stopped part way through
A recording that stops on its own usually means the memory filled or the battery ran down, so check both before the next session. Charge the unit and move the older files off it. If the switch has been knocked while in a pocket, the recording will also have stopped at that point, so check where the recorder is carried. Check where the recorder is carried so the switch is not knocked.

Important Safety Notes
Read these notes before the first recording with the HKM-5853651.
The HKM-5853651 is a voice recorder, so check the law where you are before recording a conversation, because the rules on recording other people differ between countries and states. Use the recorder for interviews, meetings and personal notes where the people present know a record is being kept. Charge the unit over the USB cable supplied, and do not leave a flat battery in the recorder for months. Keep the recorder away from water and from very hot places, and never open the shell to look inside.
