Product Information

It picks up great sound and I don’t need to use a separate microphone to get good, loud sound from my subject. The Olympus WS-852 has been discontinued and is no longer available, soon to be replaced by a new product range. With its extensive storage capacity and support for various media types, it provides users with flexibility and convenience.

Finally, the impressive 110 hours of battery life and extensive storage capacity of the WS-853 enable you to record without being restricted. I have never used it because I download my files right away, but it’s nice to know it’s there if necessary. By cutting out the low and high frequency ranges of a voice recording, Voice Filter clarifies and enhances the sound of the words being spoken. It features an internal memory of 4000 megabytes, which can be expanded using a microSD or microSDHC memory card.

The volume does go pretty high and on some of the recordings that seemed a little lighter (the office wasn’t as clear) but when I turned up the volume all the way I could hear things well. Now I do professional family history and oral history and much of the work I do is more detailed and of a longer nature, making a recording device vital for my work. This high-quality device uses two built-in directional stereo microphones to make sure all speaker’s voices are captured. This will capture high-quality audio of your subject for use with video, or just so it sounds like your subject is right there, decades later.

I like this option because it’s one less thing I have to worry about gathering when I’m on my way to an important interview. And as well as the 4GB of internal memory, you can very easily add an SD card for additional storage. It has some more complex features, like having several files and modes, but I don’t really need that, so I can use the simple mode to decrease my options or use the normal mode if I want to set some specific settings like voice filtering, languages, lighting or many other specific details. Therefore your recordings aren’t full of irritating silences and you don’t use up valuable storage space.

You can also add simple accessories to the device for perfect telephone recording and for converting analogue cassettes to digital.
