Olympus WS-853 Digital Voice Recorder (Black)

The Olympus WS-853 Digital Voice Recorder features True Stereo Mic with two directional microphones positioned at a 90-degree layout that enables highest quality recording with an authentic stereo experience. By differentiating the position and the distance of the speakers in meetings and conferences the recording is highly precise, letting you feel as if you are actually in the recording scene.

Intelligent Auto Mode

With previous models, it was necessary to adjust the microphone sensitivity according to the recording environment, such as the number of people or the size of the meeting space. The new Intelligent Auto Mode function makes it easier for users by automatically adjusting the microphone sensitivity according to the volume of the speaker. To set this function, simply select 'Auto' for the recording level from the menu.

Simple Mode - Perfect for Beginners

The recorder supports two different types of users. The Simple Mode supports beginners by having the recorder display only the necessary information in large font. It also limits the functions in the menu to those which are frequently used. For advanced users, the Normal Mode with full functionality is recommended.

USB Direct Connection

The WS-853 can connect directly to a computer via the built-in USB connector. This makes it possible to easily save data anytime, anywhere without the need to bring along a USB cable. Furthermore, WS-853 is equipped with a protective cover to keep dust out of the connectors.

Built-In Stand Prevents Surface Vibration

The built in stand placed on the back of the body is carefully designed to reduce the noise from the surface when the recorder is placed on a table. It works much like a kickstand and allows users to read the menu without having to look down at the recorder.

Voice Balancer Improves Audio Playback Quality

When recordings contain multiple speakers, the Voice Balancer makes smaller voices louder and ensures that louder voices stay below a given level, providing playback where everyone can be heard clearly. This comes in handy when recording sound sources from multiple positions, such as at a meeting. The prominent noise produced when amplifying small sounds is reduced. By eliminating the lower and higher frequency, the voice is even more enhanced.

Noise Cancellation for Clear Playback Quality

The noise-cancellation function powerfully reduces unwanted ambient noise such as air-conditioner noise or projector fan noise enabling clear playback quality. The function is very effective when playing back meeting recordings.
