Olympus WS-852 Digital Voice Recorder - Silver

The WS series established for its clear audio quality and superb operability has been improved. The new WS-852 features a new Intelligent Auto Mode, which is perfect for when there is a distance between the speakers and recorder, such as in large meeting rooms.

The recorder optimizes the recording level regardless of whether the audio source is near or far, making it possible to record audio that is easy to listen to. Simple Mode has been added to the menu for easy, intuitive controls that are perfect for beginners. The new WS series recorders can be used in a wide range of situations, from students to business users.

Key Features

High-quality recording
With the ease of use found in all WS series recorders, this model achieves a highly realistic stereo feeling thanks to the two low-noise, high-sensitivity microphones. The new Intelligent Auto Mode provides automatic sensitivity adjustment, and a Low-cut filter removes unnecessary noise from your recordings.

Superb stereo feeling with True Stereo Microphones
Two low-noise directional microphones positioned at a 90° layout enable you to create high-quality recordings with a realistic stereo feeling. This feature ensures that you capture the sense of direction and distance of the speakers in the recording which is useful for meetings, lectures or training presentations.

Playback functions
Featuring an array of playback features to accommodate your needs, such the Voice Filter to clarify and enhance voice within recordings.

Usability
The new Simple Mode is perfect for beginners as it displays only necessary information in a large font, and shows only key functions in the menu.

Low-cut filter eliminates extraneous noise 
During recording, the low-cut filter is used to cut the sound at frequencies of 300 Hz and lower during the recording process. Typical examples of these lower frequencies include air conditioner noise, projector fan noise, and even wind noise while outside. By cutting the lower frequency during recording your audio is natural sounding and free of background noise and distortion during playback.

Change the playback speed without changing the pitch "Fast/ Slow playback"
With fast or slow playback, the speed change is processed digitally, thus the pitch is not altered resulting in the voice remaining as recorded. The playback speed can be adjusted between a range of ×0.5 (slowest) and ×2 (fastest). The ability to change the playback speed is particularly useful when you want to quickly check meeting recordings, or when recordings need to be listened to repeatedly such as with language study. The playback speed settings are retained even when the recorder power is off, making it convenient to resume.
