What made you think this was gone? I thought it came out along with
either the P2 or P4. I should look into the 620 either on EBay or
Amazon. More as an MP3 player than a recorder. Because my mile stone
died and I don't like how the 14 doesn't hold your place and goes too
far back or forward when you rewind or fast forward.

Speaking of Olympus recorders I just picked up a DM-720.
I thought the DM-720 had long been discontinued.
I plan to use this recorder for general dictation work and note taking.

Yeah the LS-14 design is cool. I love the rubber down the sides. Reminds me of
the Zoom H2. I haven't felt up an H2N or an H5 which I recall Neal meantioning
has rubber like stuff on it. In the case of the 100 though I've never felt 1 up
I do find that there's something questionable wiht it what whith how wind gets
into the side. Something must not be seeled right.

I don't know anything about the LS-7.
I have an Ls-14 which I also like a lot but it is radically different than the
LS-P4 and the LS-100 units I have.
In my opinion the LS-14 is the best built of all the Olympus recorders with a
tough plastic body and good rubber feet.
The feet of the LS-P4 are one of the recorders weaknesses and won't last too
long.

Does the P4 look like the LS 7? Which the P2 apparently did. I kinda liked that
razer look.

Okay you said what I meant to say in my earlier post.
The Olympus LS-P4 isn’t a professional audio recorder and was never intended to
be.
If you want a professional audio recorder then you’re better off starting with
the Zoom H1N and working your way up from there.
For most audio recording jobs however the Olympus LS-P4 can really shine.
Line-In jobs are a bit of a pain but can be done with the use of an attenuation
patch cord.
The other remarkable thing about the LS-P4 is the amount of recording time you
can get out of 1 AAA rechargeable battery.
Obviously the higher the sample and bit rate then the more battery power is
used but battery life can be improved significantly if you choose to record in
MP3 which may be all you need of you’re recording lectures or other voice
content.
The Olympus recorders offer plenty of scope for power saving including the
turning off or dimming of lights and as some of us have no vision anyway lights
are something we don’t really need.

Ah if ya want perfect than 1 must get the 744-T or what ever the new thing is
now. Hmmmmmmmmm maybe it's the 788-T. But in any case yeah the points you made
are all true and I agree. I also like that zoom wide feature that even the DMs
had. It does make the stereo panning wider on your files. I know it adds more
floor as Neal pointed out with the P-2 but still an epic feature. The fact they
talk makes it so symple to do stuff on the fly.

I like many things about the LS-P4.
First is its size which is of that of a small candy bar.
Yes the menus talk and you can also set the clock however the file listing
doesn’t talk though that would be the only thing.
The recorder handles up to 96K/24 Bit sampling and can also record in FLAC as
well as the usual MP3 and Wave formats.
The LS-P4 handles Bluetooth so you can stream the audio of the recorder to a
set of headphones, speakers and so on.
The recorder isn’t perfect but for less than $200 Australian the Olympus is an
absolute bargain for those wanting a handy recorder to record.. well.. just
about anything.

The problems with wind and the Olympus LS-100 are incredibly bad, you just have
to breathe on the machine to hear the noise.
My favourite Olympous recorder by far is the LS-P4, at last Olympus have
something which perfectly fits into the recorder range and does everything well
except for playing back audio through the internal speabut as people know I've
never judged recorders by their dreadful internal speakers anyway.
Its possible in my view that we won't see another Olympus recorder with XLR
inputs and Olympus will just cater for the market it knows, the voice recorder
and camera market.

Oh yeah the wind into the buttons thing. I've never felt up an LS-100 but that
sounds like there are openings someware whre the wind is going into. I remember
Neal mentioning and demoing this. I didn't worry about it as much as had I got
1 like I do with my H6 I'd mostly use my AT-8022. Sure I did consider the issue
because for run and gunn quick out doors stuff it would be a problem. As is the
over censitivity of the XY H6 to wind. Dude those guys can't take wind at all.
Shocked me it did that the LS-14 mics can handle more wind.

Unfortunately - as good as the LS-100 is - the recorder has its share of
problems.
Rule number one with the LS-100 recorder seems to be, "Don't do any outdoor field
recording".
Wind gets into this recorder even if the recorder is dressed in a windscreen,
that shouldn't happen with a recorder supposedly as good as the LS-100 is.

But why did olympus stop the ls100, why did they not make a new model improved?
I am worried because they seem to have less models now and the american site is
not up rite now. Hope they won't faid away, but even though, they stil didn't
get to the level zoom did, and its defnitly wundering why not enough blind
people use these? I mean half of them might not even no what fantum power is.

Actually as an adendum they being Olympus must've at 1 point
because they did make the DM-4. So maybe they figured it out
even if when the first 3 DS recorders that spoke only did for
what ever ease of use reason they did to start with.

Well for general recording it's usable enough. the only real
problems are that 1 no talking so you will need help when menu
diving. Then 2 no beeps music or nothing like the PTRs or
Olympus's so you'll need headphones to know what is armed
what's not and how many tracks are armed. But for grabbing and
going meh once you've gotten the menu diving and track arming out of the way
you good. I have 1 and love it.
I got it because it's a 6 channal recorder and it has a
brighter sound than the LS 100. I only meantioned teh 100
because you asked for a "blind friendly" recorder. Sad ain't
it? That there's nothing that's
PTR2 accessible but with XLRs phantum and that is studio grade.
Could it be that it's supposed that blind people either don't
care for studio gear or don't know enough to do so? Sorry if
that offends anyone but 1 does have to wander why there's no
true studio grade blind friendly gear. Remember friends who
knows why the Olympus DS
50 even spoke in the first place. Did olympus know or care
blind people used them? Who even knows.

How accessible is the h6?

Yes, just keep in mind that ls100 cannot record from 2 or
more inputs at the same time, only one at a time. Whereas the
zoom h6 can, and to turn each input on/off, is very easy.

Hi,
Is there a blind-user-friendly audio recorder that has dual
XLR/1/4″ combo inputs or one XLR input and a 3.5mm input
that goes to a separate channel?
