          improved, built-in three microphone 
        
      
      
        
          stereo system comprising of two 
        
      
      
        
          high-sensitivity, directional mics plus a

          Business Breakthrough
        
      
      
        In today’s climate business is tough, 
      
      
        with less time, more to do, and budgets 
      
      
        stretched to their limits; Olympus voice 
      
      
        recorders can be a welcome solution.
      
      
        Whether or not you are already a 
      
      
        ‘dictator’, the new DM products offer an 
      
      
        opportunity for change – capture your 
      
      
        meetings and personal notes to ensure 
      
      
        you never miss a moment and dictate your 
      
      
        emails and documents on the go when 
      
      
        inspiration strikes!
      
      
        Digital dictation benefts include fast 
      
      
        transfer and backup of your recordings; 
      
      
        effcient transcription, improved reliability 
      
      
        and thereby greater customer service.
      
      
        Costs are also signifcantly improved 
      
      
        from the analogue (tape) equivalent; 
      
      
        with parts becoming rarer costs have 
      
      
        soared for analogue machines, tapes 
      
      
        and maintenance. Broken and missing 
      
      
        tapes slow down your workfow and 
      
      
        puts confdential data at risk. Additional 
      
      
        benefts include high quality recording 
      
      
        and playback; better organisation and 
      
      
        additional products to further enhance 
      
      
        your productivity i.e. record telephone 
      
      
        conversations (TP-7) or utilise speech 
      
      
        recognition software (Dragon) which 
      
      
        automatically converts your voice fles to 
      
      
        text on your PC.
      
      
         
      
      
        
          Supersizing the spectrum of sound
        
      
      
        While the dual stereo microphone setup 
      
      
        in the previous models facilitated superb 
      
      
        true stereo recordings, the incorporation 
      
      
        of a third, central microphone takes 
      
      
        quality audio capture to another level. 
      
      
        This combination of mics means that 
      
      
        recordings – particularly those of the 
      
      
        human voice – are even more balanced and 
      
      
        life-like, covering a broader spectrum of 
      
      
        sound, from low to high frequencies. Both 
      
      
        recorders also offer three fle recording 
      
      
        formats:WMA, MP3 and uncompressed 
      
      
        Linear PCM (up to 48 kHz/16 bit). Files are 
      
      
        saved on either the internal memory (DM-
      
      
        670, 8 GB; DM-650, 4 GB) or on optional 
      
      
        microSD cards. The DM-670 also makes life 
      
      
        easier for its operators as it incorporates 
      
      
        a handy Voice Guidance function that 
      
      
        provides the user with audio prompts for 
      
      
        each feature.
      
      
         
      
      
        
          Immaculate recording and playback
        
      
      
        Both the DM-650 and DM-670 incorporate 
      
      
        helpful recording functions: Scene Modes 
      
      
        help you to have the right setting for 
      
      
        different recording situations like a 
      
      
        meeting or lecture, and while VCVA 
      
      
        ensures that audio capture commences 
      
      
        when sounds reach a certain threshold 
      
      
        and pauses recording when falling below 
      
      
        that level, Voice Sync creates a new fle 
      
      
        each time when recordings restart. An 
      
      
        optional remote control is also available 
      
      
        to extend recording fexibility. A two step 
      
      
        low cut flter additionally supports perfect 
      
      
        recording: here, background noises such 
      
      
        as distant traffc or air conditioners are 
      
      
        cut out. During playback, users have the 
      
      
        choice to invoke the Noise Cancel function 
      
      
        for clearer, virtually noise-free sound. And 
      
      
        to enhance results of spoken recordings, a 
      
      
        
          Work hard, play hard: the latest Olympus DM-650 and DM-670 
        
      
      
        
          audio recorders deliver all; The latest DM recorders provide 
        
      
      
        
          professional recordings in several formats – including Linear PCM 
        
      
      
        
          (better than CD quality).
