Remember when Boomboxes were in voge? The speakers in those were - as a rule - God damn awful but remember how much better your boombox sounded when you connected headphones, used extension speakers etc. On 9/04/2018 1:58 PM, Anders Holmberg wrote: Hi! I’ve always wondered why they care to b

32GB is a hell of a lot of space, at 44.1KHZ 16 bit you should get more than 2 days recording on one of those cards. The LS-P4 like so many other Olympus recorders has internal memory too and I think that's 4GB. On 9/04/2018 1:51 PM, Anders Holmberg wrote: Hi! From what i understand it on

Hi! I’ve always wondered why they care to build phones and other devices with stereo speakers when they’re not as good as a portable speaker. I rather listen to music via headphones on any portable device i can get. The stream was a very good example as it doesn’t offer any good at all. /A > 9 ap

I suppose Olympus take the view that most of their users can see the level meters so they do know that the audio is being heard by the microphones and then the record est would know the audio was being recorded when the elapsed and remaining times were displayed on the screen. I think the US m

Consider this. How could anyone possibly Gage the quality of a recording through small speakers that aren't even designed to sound any good rather they just appear to be put into a recorder as an afterthought. Good recorders in the past have not necessarily had any speakers in them at all an

Ah look at what Zoom calls the speaker. It's called a confidence speaker. So for the sighted I guess it's just to see how the sound came out. Though not in a real good way. For us the blind it helpes in that you can hear something thus know the thing is even on. Now I agree with ya that you sho

The speaker of a recorder to me at least isn't all that important as I always carry around a pair of headphones and I often wonder why manufacturers bother to build speakers into recorders in the first place, after all I buy the recorder to record with. One thing I do like with the LS-P4 is th

Hi. I'm wondering how the speaker sounds on this model. I currently own the dm720 and also had the lsp2 for a short time which I returned. The one thing I really don't like on many of the Olympus recorders is that they use really tiny and tinny sounding speakers with little volume. I think they

I have the recorder in my hand so I'll take a look now. The recorder offers 3 encoding modes for MP3, 64K mono, and 128K or 320K stereo. The 64K mono makes a lot of sense if you're just going to be recording speech say at a lecture and you're not worried about a stereo effect but you do want
