Olympus announces the LS-7 “pocket” linear PCM audio recording device, which offers a pre-record buffer that captures seconds of audio before the record button is pressed, an omni-directional mic to pick up lower bass frequencies, a switchable low-cut filter that eliminates unwanted low-frequency noise and voice guidance for users with assistive needs.
The new features come in a compact metal body with uncompressed 24 bit/96 kHz Linear PCM recording format for digital stereo recordings. The estimated street price is $199.99 (U.S.); it will be available in March 2011.
