The compact linear Olympus LS-P5 PCM recorder is equipped with three microphones featuring high quality sound and high sound pressure resistance. The new TRESMIC II microphone system is capable of directional control for faithfully recording original sounds from low to high frequency ranges.
This recorder is equipped with three large high-performance directional microphones. Together, they deliver high quality sound and enhanced recording performance.
Despite the large, high-performance microphones and two batteries, the recorder features a compact design measuring 39.6 x 112.2 x 16.1 mm, and weighing approximately 78 g (including batteries). This high-performance linear PCM audio recorder is highly versatile and can be attached to a tripod or camera and used for business situations.
The Bluetooth function expands the range of applications to music, video production, and business scenes.
Various recording functions are provided, including a function that makes it easy to make optimal settings simply by selecting the use scene.
It has a full range of playback functions, including Voice Balancer and Noise Cancellation, for easier listening, as well as editing functions that can be performed without a computer.
