The Olympus VP-10 combines sound
and style. Featuring a pen-like
design, this advanced audio recorder
is equipped with high-sensitivity
stereo microphones for crystal clear
360-degree sound.
A handy business tool for professionals,
the VP-10 is ideal for those who need
to record meetings or dictation. With a
compact, ultra-portable design, the recorder
fits easily into a pocket, making it especially
useful for those who need to record notes

voice recorder provides effective
time management for entrepreneurs.
It captures high-quality recordings
whilst also providing time-saving
features to help professionals stay in
control and organised.
The DM-720 features five distinct
recording modes to ensure optimum
recording quality even in noisy
environments. A directional microphone
mode lets users adjust the microphone
range according to their distance from the
speaker. The recorder also automatically
adjusts the microphone to suit recording
environments, from a large conference
auditorium to brainstorming at a local café,
for example.
An automatic voice balancer enhances
every voice, while three highly sensitive
Key features include:
a choice of recording settings optimised
for specific applications (Pocket, Dictation,
Conference or Meeting mode);
Anti-Rustle Filter technology, which
reduces friction noise when the recorder
is in the pocket;
a Voice Balancer that levels out softer
and louder voices, ensuring that
everyone can be heard;
a Low-cut Filter for eliminating
lower frequency noise, such as
air conditioners;
Noise Cancellation to remove
unwanted ambient sounds;
4GB of built-in memory,
enough for 1,620 hours of
recordings;
A choice of PCM, MP3 or WMA
sound file formats; and
an integrated USB stick for
transferring files to a PC.
