Olympus LS-10S PCM Recorder Hands-On
June 26, 2012 by Jacob Krol in Gadgets, Hands-On, MP3 Player, Music
While at GDGT NY 2012 last night, we got a quick hands-on with the Olympus LS-10S recorder. It is a popular device among students, artists, parents, musicians, and more. Olympus has done a great job of packing a lot of power into a small device. It is a pocket-sized recorder, that can record audio in amazing quality. It weighs just 5.8 ounces, which makes it super light and it is very comfortable to hold in your hands. It can record 24bit/96 kHz audio for up to 12 hours, it is powered by 2 AA batteries. I was surprised to see that it did not have a specific battery, but either way it powers the device. Inside you get 2GB of internal storage and it has a SD/SDHC card slot, in case you need more space. This device also has 2 speakers on the back, and it can playback PCM, WAV and MP3 files. Overall, I am sure that many people are happy to see that Olympus is bringing their audio recorder back. It is available at Guitar Center retail outlets (exclusively) and it has a MSRP of just $199.99 . Be sure to check out our hands-on video below and for more info check out the press release!
