Olympus LS-11 - Portable Audio Recorder
 Olympus unveils its new portable audio recorder, the LS-11, which is a follow-up to their LS-10 handheld audio recorder.
Like its predecessor, the LS-11 is capable of recording 24-bit/96kHz stereo WAVs, as well as MP3- and WMA-format files. It's got the same on-board microphones as the LS-10, as well as the rear-mounted speakers for quick auditioning of recorded material. New features include 8GB of internal memory, instead of the 2GB found on the LS-10, and the facility to work with SD cards of up to 32GB in capacity. What's more, the two memory drives are viewed as one storage destination, so the LS-11 can address an impressive 40GB of data in total (if using a 32GB SD card).
The LS-11 features a Voice Synchronize Recording function, which extends recording time by recording only when the microphone senses sound at the pre-set level. This function saves time by reducing the need to fast-forward past pauses between songs or in conversation. This function allows a musician to set up the LS-11 to start recording a musical performance before it starts. When the recording is played back later, avoid listening to dead air because it has only picked up the performance.
On top of that, the LS-11 comes with 23 hours of battery life.
The LS-11 will be available in September 2009 at a price of $399.99.
