Clear sound – Pure enjoyment Get the most advanced microphones to date with the LS-P1 digital audio recorder: their 90° construction provides a great stereo feel. What’s more, the high quality of their build means you’ll enjoy clear sound with low noise. All of this and more is packed in a super-small body that gives you outstanding recordings – from music to meetings. Smooth sound – Better-than-CD quality The LS-P1 supports linear PCM recording at rates of up to 24 bits and sampling frequencies as high as 96kHz – far surpassing the 44.1kHz/16 bits of CD-quality audio. When you select this bit rate and sampling frequency, you can readily make a CD of your own recordings. Accurate recording. Enjoy the most accurate stereo sound possible without any signal deterioration thanks to the high-quality microphone amplifier. It uses an advanced amplifier circuit to suppress interference – for original stereo sound audio recording from a compact device. OLYMPUS engineers have also gone even further to develop a new codec, so you have even clearer sound quality with less noise during AD/DA music conversion. Pleasurable use The powerful technology on the inside is encased in a sleek metal body on the outside – making the stylishly compact LS-P1 a PCM recorder that you’ll enjoy using with every press of a button, for every song or session. Because it’s so robust and cutting-edge, you’ll want to take this pocket-sized audio recorder with you wherever you go – especially also thanks to Direct USB capability for easy data storage and transfer. 4GB of Built in memory Linear PCM / MP3 Recording Formats Manual Recording Level Tripod Hole + Adaptor NI-MH Rechargeable Battery Specifications Storage Media Internal / Removable Media Internal + Removable External Memory (Slot) microSD card / SDHC card (512 MB ‑ 32 GB) Internal memory 4GB USB functionality Direct USB Connection Yes USB Speed USB 2.0 High Speed USB Classes USB Storage class USB Composite device Display Display Type Full Dot Matrix Display (108 x 84 dots) Display Size 27.5 x 23.9mm / 1.43'' Display colour White Display Backlit LED (White) Device operation Main Switch Push HOLD switch Yes Power switch Yes Microphone System Max.
