Olympus LS-10: The hardcore voice recorder
The new Olympus LS-10 is a combination of tough structure and funny looks. The two mikes give the impression of the ears of Mickey Mouse and yet the metallic body of the device gives a feel of the toughest device ever made. The black finish with white silver buttons is designed to resist some hardcore smacking and rough handling by the user. An ideal device for all the crime reporters and journalism who love to take risks, it has the capability to record the slightest movement that creates noise and give the same clarity as the original sound. Even the rippling of water can be recorded with a crystal clear sound precision. It can last from 3 to 69 hours (depending on the recording setting) and can record audio as 96 kHz/24 bit Linear PCM. Sound can also be recorded in WAV, MP3 and WMA files. In spite of its funny looks, the device is perfect for hard-hitting people. so, if one wants to cover a war story or a rebellion, this is a must-carry and makes the job very trouble-free as it can transfer files to the PC with the simple touch of a button. Considering it as a music device may not be a good idea as it does not work too well as a listening device, but the recording performance, whether indoor or outdoor, is beyond comparison.
