General

The Olympus LS-P2 doesn't limit you to two stereo microphones, but has a third central omnidirectional mic as well that's specifically engineered to capture low-frequency bass tones. The result is a natural stereo image and a heightened frequency range of 20 Hz – 20 kHz. Listen to the songs you've just recorded by connecting wirelessly to a set of compatible speakers or headphones via Bluetooth. The Olympus LS-P2 digital audio recorder has a large number of features all wrapped up in a compact black metal body!

Olympus LS-P2: compact and intelligent

The LS-P2 makes it possible to normalise tracks directly in the recorder. It captures audio at an extremely high quality, 96 kHz/24-bit linear PCM, which is significantly better than 'normal' 44.1 kHz/16-bit CD quality. You can set the recording levels as desired or have them adjust automatically for dynamic audio with every song. This audio recorder also features a low-cut filter, limiter, calendar search function, intelligent auto mode, zoom microphone, voice balancing, and a spoken user manual.

Wrote the following about Olympus LS-P2 digital handheld audio recorder
Lekker compact, klein apparaatje met veel mogelijkheden. Ik neem er repetities van popkoren mee op en voor dat doel is ie uitstekend, klinkt prima. Veel betere en snellere usb verbinding dan mijn vorige fieldrecorder. (Zoom H4). Helaas lijkt de bluetooth niet te werken met mijn telefoon (Samsung A5 2017).

Den här produkten är enkel att använda, fast den i en ganska avancerat produkt.

De talande menyerna gör att den är mycket lämplig för synskadade, dyslektiker och andra som har behov av talstöd. Funktionen kan givetvis stängas av om man inte har behov av den.

Menyerna kunde varit bättre översatt till svenska.
