Sound quality that’s unheard of! In addition to capturing stereo sound from meetings, interviews and other critical information expected of digital recorders, you can download and create podcasts with the DS-30. The super-high-quality sound is also great for listening to audio books and music – it’s the ideal all-in-one audio device.
The DS-30 digital voice recorder is part of a new generation of Olympus Digital Voice Recorders. It features a removable stereo microphone styled to match the design of the recorder. When the stereo microphone is removed, the recorder switches to a discreet, built-in monaural microphone for recording dictation. The stereo microphone can also be connected with an optional RS29 Remote Controller that controls RECORD and STOP functions.
The DS-30 recorder includes features to enable use by the visually impaired. Buttons feature ridges and grooves that make them more identifiable by touch. The recorder has a Voice Guide that can be set to speak button functions when pressed, aiding navigation by touch.
