Olympus LS-10 Review

wingfieldaudio.com

The Olympus LS-10 Linear PCM Field Recorder impresses with its sleek, well-crafted design and ease of use. Its aluminum body and responsive controls make it a stylish companion for field recording. The inclusion of a stereo speaker monitor is a unique feature, providing clear sound quality for quick checks. While the LCD fonts might be too small for some, its long battery life and fast USB connectivity add to its appeal. Sound quality is commendable, though mic sensitivity settings need careful adjustment for optimal bass. Despite the lack of an included AC adapter, the LS-10's overall performance makes it a solid choice for those seeking a reliable and elegant recorder.

The Olympus LS-10 and LS-11 recorders deliver outstanding audio quality in a compact, user-friendly design. Ideal for musicians, podcasters, and journalists, they offer versatile recording options, including built-in stereo mics and external input capabilities. The devices excel in ease of use, with intuitive controls and quick file transfer via USB or SD card. While the built-in microphones might lack some low-frequency warmth, the remarkable clarity they provide compensates for this minor shortcoming. The inclusion of CUBASE Le4 software enhances their value, facilitating comprehensive audio editing. Overall, these recorders are highly recommended for their performance and functionality.
