Olympus DS-30 Digital Voice Recorder

I bought this (my first) voice recorder because it offered a stereo mic at the best price, and looked like it had potential for recording my live music rehearsals with electric guitars and drum machine.

Adjustable mic sensitivity, voice activation level and stereo/mono recording choice

Control buttons on opposing sides create gripping challenge

Olympus ds30

Does what it should - shame on Olympus 3 recorders the only difference excessive price for more memory - SD cards?

Absolutely excellent look no further - I did but should not have

Complicated often ineffectual VCVA in some modes but not a problem - Use when required

Good

If you record long periods of dictation and or interviews, the Olympus DS-3000 is still one of the best professional recorders available. Fully compatible with the Olympus AS-3000 PC Transcription kit.

Expandable, fully featured digital voice recorder cabable of recording up to 44 hours high-quality DSS format recordings. Full editing functions, 3 folders and Conference/Dictation modes for the microphone.

Smartmedia is becoming a little harder to find now, but are still available. The recorder is a little more fragile that some of the other Olympus digital recorders.
