'recording device' is the definition.
'quipu' can be an answer for 'device' (quipu is a kind of device). I'm unsure of the 'recording' bit.

'parisian who turned up' is the wordplay.
'parisian who' becomes 'qui' ('who' in French).
'turned' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'up' backwards is 'pu'.
'qui'+'pu'='QUIPU'
