Olympus LS-10 - Manual (Page 2)

Beyond CD-quality recording. Musicians will appreciate
the amazing sound that the LS-10 delivers. The
extra-high-quality linear PCM recording has a
quantization bit rate of up to 24 bits and a
sampling frequency of up to 96 kHz — better than
CD-quality sound.
Just what you want in a microphone: sensitivity. Pick up
every note and nuance. The LS-10 features
condenser stereo microphones that have been
thoughtfully designed to precisely capture sound.
They deliver high sensitivity with low noise. A rigid,
carving-processed aluminum case reduces
vibration. The 90-degree outward positioning
captures a wider and more natural stereo sound
field. You never need to worry about center
positioning.
High-quality circuitry for low noise. Using the latest
techniques in sound-conscious design, the amp
circuitry features discrete chips for the left and
right channels. It prevents signal interference
between channels for clear transmission and
provides unmatched signal-to-noise ratio. An
independent power supply keeps interference (and
noise) to a bare minimum. In short, you never have
to worry about noise.
Always find the right level.
A manual recording
level lets you fine-tune
your recording with a
level meter on the LCD
as well as a PEAK
indicator. The LS-10
also features an
automatic level control
so you can start recording right away.
PEAK
Choose your recording format. Have plenty
of versatility and flexibility with recording
times. Choose from WAV format non-
compression linear PCM recording,

2 GB flash memory lets you record right
away, or add an SD or SDHC card for
greater capacity.
Compact enough to go anywhere. The LS-10
comfortably fits in your hand. It’s
incredibly portable and weighs just over
5 ounces. Two stereo speakers on the
back give you immediate playback
anytime, anywhere.
Capture more than just music. You can
record virtually anything with the LS-10.
Take it to a nature preserve and record
wild birds singing. Set it up on a stage
and record a child’s recital. Record
speeches, lectures or interviews.
Capture sounds for a video you’re
making. The LS-10’s size, versatility and
functionality are ideal for an incredibly
wide range of uses.
You love music. No, scratch
that. You live for music. Whatever
instrument you play, the LS-10
Linear PCM Recorder is must-
have gear. Use it to record yourself
or your band. Listen to what
sounds great and what needs
work. Record other people’s
performances. Make a podcast.
Get ideas for a song down before
you forget them. The LS-10 will
help you improve as a musician.
It’s amazingly easy to use, records
in better-than-CD quality sound
