High Quality Recording
The LS-10 features uncompressed 24 bit/96kHz Linear PCM recording
capability, to capture the rich sound quality of music performances. It
has the versatility to record and play back in the WAV, MP3 and WMA
formats. The LS-10 can record with its internal microphone or by
plugging in an external microphone. The LS-10's value extends beyond
the realm of music. Students will find it useful for recording lectures
and journalists for recording high-quality interviews for broadcasts
and podcasts.
Elegant and Intuitive Design
An enlarged, backlit LCD is easy to read and shows file information,
recording time and events clearly. The device is outfitted with an
ergonomic dial thumb pad allowing the user to play or stop a recording,
adjust the volume level, fast-forward and rewind with the touch of one
button. The Erase and Folder/Index buttons are positioned individually
below the thumb dial for easy access.
Durability
The LS-10 has a lightweight and durable aluminum body. This keeps the
weight of the LS-10 to a mere 5.8 ounces including batteries.
Memory Capacity and Expandability
The LS-10 has two gigabytes of internal flash memory to capture lengthy
recordings. The LS-10 also features an SD/SDHC removable media card
slot to further expand its capacity. During a busy day of recording,
changing SD cards is an easy way for users to capture more audio
without taking the time to download files to a computer.
Recording and Listening
The LS-10 can play back the high-quality audio it records and play it
back on its built-in stereo speakers with vibrancy and clarity. These
speakers allow more than one person to listen to a new recording
simultaneously to help collaborating musicians evaluate recording
progress on the fly.
Wireless Control
The optional exclusive wireless remote controller allows users to start
and stop the recording of the LS-10 from a distance. This is ideal for
live performances when the LS-10 can be placed near the stage and
activated from several rows back.
Battery Life
The LS-10 can record 12 hours on two AA batteries, longer than many
competing Linear PCM recorders and long enough for an all-day event.

The LS-10 ships with Steinberg CUBASE LE 4 Sound editing software with
48 sound tracks and variety of effects, a carrying case, USB cable,
audio cable, wind screen, two AA batteries, a strap, an instruction
manual and Olympus warranty card.

control, AC adaptor, conference microphones (ME30W), Carrying Bag,
