Olympus announces the LS-10 Pocket-Sized Linear PCM Recorder (21/7/2008)

The Olympus LS-10 is a product, which is sure to whet the appetite of all aspiring musicians across Europe. The Olympus LS-10 is an affordable, pocket-sized digital recorder that allows up and coming artists to lay down music anywhere, anytime. To be one step ahead of the game, this is THE product that all musicians should own.

Small enough to slot into a back pocket, it allows artists to capture and record their own music anywhere, and being completely portable, this is the ultimate in music technology with better than CD quality.

Don't let a live performance, impromptu jam session or a new idea for a song escape again. The Olympus LS-10 captures every sound... exactly as it is, whether it is rehearsing at home, in your garage or jamming at a mud-fuelled festival.

The Olympus LS-10 is also making waves in the music world. Nick Mason, Drummer, Pink Floyd says, "It's capable of recording at a quality that was previously only possible with a full mobile recording studio and a catering truck to look after that team of roadies. If you want to make the demo that will convince those record execs to write the cheque for the big advance then this is the machine for you. The fact that the additional software available lets you overdub and mix really completes the package".

Combining the advanced technologies derived from Olympus' decades of experience in the recording field, the compact and portable Olympus LS-10 brings high fidelity sound recording that's so versatile it can be used in a multitude of different ways from capturing impulsive ideas to recording an all important demo.

It's simple to use with a large LCD panel that displays all the information needed to record. It features a level meter display and PEAK indicator, so it is possible to manually adjust the recording level to suit all environments, or use an automatic recording level, to obtain the best quality sound.

The Olympus LS-10 is second to none, with a tough aluminum casing to ensure there isn't any vibration noise, and with built-in stereo microphones that point out diagonally to give a wider recording area and ensure true-to-life recordings.

Once the music is captured ready for its release in superb stereo sound, it can be edited on either PC or Mac with the supplied CUBASE LE4 software. Featuring 48 soundtracks and a variety of effects to edit and enhance audio any musician can easily produce a track ready for release.

The Olympus LS-10 is designed for all levels of musicians from aspiring to fully-fledged professionals. It's the perfect piece of kit for artists to record music, in their own time and space.
