I haven't used the recorder that much, but from the short period of time the recorder is very sensitive and picks up sounds great. Playback through the internal speaker is also better than others I have tried from retail stores.

I have been using the LS-10 to record church services and concerts. The display is easy to see. The build quality is very good. The sound quality is very good. The built-in microphones work well. For professional results, an external mic or mics are recommended. Battery life is excellent (this is important). I like the portability and ease of use. On the down side, there is no mono record mode. Sometimes I do not want stereo in order to reduce the file size.

I bought this digital recorder to add audio to PDF photographic portfolios that I produce. I wanted to add behind the camera and behind the computer comments to my portfolios. The sound quality is exactly what was looking for and the ease of operation that the compact design provides is exactly what I was looking for... high quality recordings that are easy to produce. I just carry it in my camera bag and grab it when I point my camera to record those spur of the moment thoughts just before I capture the shot! Just perfect!

This product out performs and exceeded my expectations. Great recordings and the mic adjustments are great for the mic picks up all the sounds including background noises. I recommend this product to anyone who needs a recorder for contracts, music, or conversations recording. And the service from Abes of Maine is the best. Cannot ask for anything better!

Comments:

Manuel very helpful to setup recording for different field recordings. Does not come with a SD card. Suggest the max of 16GB format. Recordings needed no cleanup,just normal editing. The unit is user friendly with no compromise on recording in different formats. I had 4 days of recording aprox 40hours. Results were flawless.

BEST USES

Comments:

I'm not an expert, but the only thing I wish it had was a more variable microphone sensitivity selection. Remember switching between Dolby and Normal on your component tape-deck? The difference between low/high is broad. Very reliable, doesn't have a mind of its own and stays recording until you're done. Low profile, LED record light is selectable to OFF within menu, download through USB was slow but it may be the slow supplied Abes 4gb SD card. I could record the tire tread of cars comming off of the freeway 70ft away, and the sound of my finger touching my jeans at the same time.

Comments:

This is a great field recorder with all the options needed for a hobbyist or working professional. The menu's are easy and the sound is great. The two features that set this apart from comparable recorders is the great battery life and the on-board speaker, which at first seemed chintzy, but has proved incredibly useful. Simple and effective, great piece of gear.

Comments:

take time to really read and understand the manual, then call tech support often if you dont understand anything. The manual isnt written by a native english speaker, so there are a few places that you have to apply your own english filter to the instructions Once you get it down, it amazing - mastering quality. MUCH higher the CD audio

Comments:

This recorder is a tremendously compact, superior sound handling, full featured, and intuitive recorder. This is the best on the market by far with the recording functions at your fingers. Having the option of playback through the stereo speakers and hearing the crystal-clear recordings is fantastic. Olympus has done it again...

Comments:

Pros Great for capturing your wedding event audio Great for recording choirs and other music events. Great for those who like to record the sounds of nature or a live outdoor performance. Batteries seem to last a long time 8+ hours. Supports MP3, WMV as well as PCM Supports line-in recording but not phantom power. Cons: -not much, -slight roll off on the bass end that can easily be adjusted for in post. You notice it around 60-80hz but for its size and price not worth mentioning.

Comments:

This is an easy-to-use pocket recorder. As a musician-songwriter, I find this device useful for recording on the go. When an idea pops into my head, this recorder is right there with me. It has great battery life but can also be used with an AC adapter. I have used it to record our band's practice sessions and live performances. The sound quality is excellent. I can transfer files to my Mac and edit the recordings as well. This is an excellent choice for a pocket digital recorder.
