Hi!
I was planning to buy an Olympus LS-14 recorder however these devices
are no longer available it seems so I'm offered the Olympus LS-P4 as a
replacement recorder.
I don't know much about the unit so I'll be most interested to see the
recorder when it arrives after Easter having accepted the offer of the
swap for for the LS-14 in my order.
I do know a couple of things which are worth noting and the first is
that the P4 has Bluetooth capabilities.
What these capabilities actually offer the recorder remains to be seen,
can the recorder be controlled from an iPhone or perhaps the recorder
can output the audio to Bluetooth speakers or perhaps both if I'm lucky.
The P4 can also use the FLAC audio format when recording and this is the
first I've heard of FLAC being accommodated in a portable device.
I was speaking to an audio engineer earlier today and he said that
usually FLAC was left to a computer or similar given that quite a bit of
processing power is involved creating and recording FLAC so perhaps
Olympus are using a new more powerful chip.
Anyway having FLAC on a portable recorder means that we now have the
facilities to record in a compressed mode to save file space on a SD
card without losing any audio quality, that's something that MP3
wouldn't allow.
The LS-P4 has the voice guideance feature as did the LS-14.
I already use a couple of Olympus recorders here including the widely
regarded LS-100 and the classinc DM4.
