Powerful audio specs

This Olympus device is fitted with improved microphones, which result in less noise and therefore in a higher recording quality. The digital data quality reaches up to 24-bit/96kHz linear PCM, so you needn't worry about the resolution of your recording - it's excellent! You can store your recordings in WAV or MP3, the first is especially well suited for recordings that need high quality. Musicians are treated to a built-in tuner and metronome, and overdubbing and pre-recording are also possible.

Practical

Apart from high quality, this handheld recorder ensures great user-friendliness. With the rotary knob at the bottom, you can select different modes, like quick, manual and smart. The Smart Mode allows you to set the ideal recording level in accordance with the loudest incoming signal. An internal memory of up to 2 GB can be extended up to 34 GB with separately available SD/SDHC cards. Two AA batteries allow you to use the LS-12 for up to 50 hours, and with a separately available tripod, you'll be able to set the LS-12 on a table or floor - practical for concerts!

Wrote the following about Olympus LS 12 handheld audio recorder
Apparaat voelt stevig aan (beter dan bijv. Zoom), heel eenvoudige bediening, als gaat als vanzelf. Uitstekende resultaten.
Heb gebruik gemaakt van de aanbieding, dus extra voordeling. Aanrader!

Prima apparaat. Snelle menustructuur en (functie-)knoppen om snel in de juiste modus te schakelen. Apparaat lijkt robuust, de tijd zal het leren. Files moeiteloos in Final Cut Pro X gelezen en snel onder beeldmateriaal te plakken.

Jammer dat case standaard niet wordt meegeleverd en niet meer leverbaar is. Ook polsband moet los bijbesteld worden.
