A better full range mic is my pair of AT4041 but for on location recording I will stick with my C1000 large diaphrams because they offer optional battery portability.

To be honest I've not seen this documented well anywhere. The manual may reference this in a diagram perhaps but no verbal description exists. I stumbled across this whilst playing about with the recorder when trying to set the time.

Re: Another Olympus recorder question:
Dane Trethowan <grtdane@...>
Only my 2 cents worth. A good general purpose recorder it seems though for the money I think I’d rather purchase an Olympus LS-P4 which seems to sell for around the same amount of money. For those who have not seen an Olympus LS-P4 the buttons are very well laid out and tactile marks are used for quick identification of function keys. I’m not worried that recorders at this price level don’t have XLR connectivity as we’re not talking professional studio recorders here anyway and the inclusion of XLR connectors usually make for a larger recorder because of the size of the actual connectors themselves.

Smart mode isn’t everything. The LS-P4 has a solution, you can normalise the recording. If you’re not sure where to set the level for your recording then set the level to a fairly low value. Start your recording and - if necessary - apply the normalise function to the recording when finished. As you will hear with my capture of the Dove, the ‘Auto” mode does a pretty good job for most things.

Re: Another Olympus recorder question:
Yeah that's kinda too bad the eltrinex doesn't have that stuff. But then again they ain't promoing it as a super awesome epic pro recorder either. Meh just a little note taking thing. But again it can do Blu-Ray disk quality audio. I red something about recording in stereo so it either must have stereo mikes or a stereo mike jack. Sounds curious though. I'd like to hear the audio from 1. But meh maybe not something I'd jump on right away as I do want phantum power and XLRs and what not. I ended up getting the LS 14 due to money more than that being what I wanted. However, it does have features that make me wish that it had XLRs and phantum power. It's almost perfect but for that. Make it something Zoom H5 like even and it's golden.

Not to meantion 14 has smart mode. Which isn't perfect, but when it works vbro it's awesome. That's why I wish they had put XLRs on it. Then youwould be all set. But yeah the mikes on the 100 are better frequencie responce wize. But I don't bother with the 3 mikes on my 14 so much. I just use my real mike. The Audio Technica AT-8022. But dude if the LS 14 had XLRs like the 100 does then you could use the 4021 mikes. Which hear full range. From 20 Hz to full 20 KHZ. The 8022 only goes up to 15. Or better yet you could use a pare of 4022 omni mikes in spaced omni configuration or the Rode NT-5 mikes that can be cardiode or omni.

Re: Another Olympus recorder question:
I'm on the site right now. That's how I found out it can do 48 KHZ 24 bits. I do wander though how the recordings from it sound. All the stuff Neal gets into. What's the floor noise level. The frequency responce of the mikes, and if it does have a jacks what's the pre amp noise level.

Does anybody here have any experience with the Eltrinex digital recorder?

Intresting as mine never had any issues. But yes the p4 sounds nicer as it have metal and they brought back the random for the music player. I will get the zoom h1n for now and then consider lsp4.

Now the Olympus LS-P4 is here there’s no going back foo a DM4 for me, just too many advantages to be had with the DM4.

Of corse olympus continued the work after the dm4, they done the dm7 wich have improvements there. Example, on dm4 you had to switch a setting on wich allow file names to be spoken, but with dm7 there is no such thing, it just works. It read everything even the password for wifi.

Hi Dane.
I will report back tomorrow but my understanding is that the ls-p1 is the ls-p2 without the bluetooth feature.
The manual seems to indicate that voice guidance is there but I will confirm tomorrow.
Believe me if it doesn't its going back right away grin!

I’ll need some help on this but to my knowledge the DM4 was one of the few Olympus recorders to have a fully fledged TTS built-in so that’s why that particular model was able to handle so much more in the form of Daisy books and so on. It is a pity that Olympus never continued on with the good work of the DM4 to finish the job but there we are.

Hi listers,
Eagerly awaiting the arrival tomorrow of my ls-p1 recorder and had one question.
Does the ls-p series actually contain a text to speech synthesizer as I am told the olympus dm-4 does?
I ask because I would like to give names to the folders on the recorder and possibly create new ones and have their names spoken.
Thanks in advance.

Eltrinex V12Pro - Basic Operations of voice recorder for visually impaired users -
For the person who just mentioned this recorder. True it doesn't go up all the way to 96 KHZ or better yet 192. But it does 48 KHZ 24 Bits. Your typical 7.1 Blu-Ray disk like Jurasic Park the 2014 Godzilla and anything else are 48 KHZ. So yes it does do HD audio. How did you hear of this?

Yes you can set the format bit rate and sampling rate. Incredibly easy to set up out of the box, insert the battery, turn the machine on and follow the prompts. On 20 Jun 2018, at 1:28 am, Matthew Chao <mattchao@verizon.net> wrote:
Will the P4 tell you which file format you're recording in? May consider buying this unit. How easy is it to set up by a blind person out of the box? Thanks in advance.--Matthew Chao

No it can’t read the memory and systemin information. Yes if Olympus put their mind to it then this function could be incorporated into later firmware and perhaps it will be but not now. There’s one problem with the reading of the time and date setting that Olympus should address, in 12-hour mode no indication is given of AM or PM time so to work around this you toggle the LS-P4 to 24 hour mode.

The Doves nest wasn't all that far from where I was standing, just round the corner of my house. I used the "Auto" level setting of the Olympus LS-P4 which - in my view - is one of the best "Auto" level setups I've ever used as the recorder has a "Look Ahead" function for want of a better description to check what the level is. I used the internal microphones of the recorder and the recording as you heard it is what I originally recorded including original filename and format. For what it is the Olympus LS-P4 is a pure gem.

Hi, Ooh the birdies this just made my day I can't tell you how much fun this was. How far away was that dove from you? Was this recorded with the internal mics of the ls-p4? Was center mic on or off and did you use one of the preset mic levels or set them manually? Thanks so much for sharing this. Take good care. Robin

I recorded this in my Back Yard with my Olympus LS-P4 recorder around 2 months ago.
