Review: Olympus LS-10 Linear PCM Handheld Recorder

By Philip L. Graitcer (pdastreet.com)

It is compact - about the size of a cell phone - and it looks quite similar to those handheld tape recorders we see print journalists carrying, but inside, there's an important differenceit is capable of producing pcm sound files in 44.1kHz, 48kHz or ...

I wish it hadXLR inputs and a Pprovision to mark tracks or rapidly begin a new track, however; you have to stop recording and then press the record button twice to start another track. Option to record mono, allowing more economy with the flash memory ...

Olympus LS-10 Linear PCM Recorder

By Jose Fermoso (wired.com)

Plenty of gadgets claim to be tough without actually being tough. (You know the type; loud as a motorbike, but wouldn't bust a grape in a food fight.) But the Olympus LS-10 digital recorder actually walks the walk. Its first-rate audio recording ...

Can double as a high quality main input mic. Internal low-cut filter cuts out low frequency sounds and clarifies human voices accurately. Dual 16mm round dynamic speakers boosts recordings for a quick listen.

Lacks XLR inputs. Back speaker audio fidelity is imprecise and a bit echoey. Monochrome display on a $400 device? What is this 1998?

Olympus LS-10 voice recorder

By Stuart Miles (pocket-lint.com)

2GB internal, SDHC up to 32GB supported, large LCD screen, plenty of manual and automatic control

File system is basic, playback speaker not very loud, looks complicated

Expensive, but if you're after crystal clear results it's probably worth the investment

Once you do get past that "where is the on switch?" moment, you'll soon...

Olympus LS-10 PCM 2GB Digital Voice Recorder

By pilote (pcworld.com)

I bought this unit from zzounds.com and, as always, have been very happy with their service. I selected this unit after careful comparison with many other "hand-held" units. (Korg, Sony, Teac, Yamaha, Zoom, Marantz, Edirol/Roland, Tascam, etc.) I picked i...

Use right out of the box without reading the manual. Well constructed and laid out. Built in speakers, lit record button flashes on standby, and solid when recording. Nice big backlit display.

Handling noise recording while holding the unit.However, all hand held units have the same problem. To minimize this set the unit down, lay flat on your open palm, mount, or use external mics.
