Yeah and the other problem with boom boxes was that unless the thing was
in your face you can't easely hear the stereo spread. That's why I
vslouched so much.

Remember when Boomboxes were in voge? The speakers in those were - as

sounded when you connected headphones, used extension speakers etc.

Hi!
I’ve always wondered why they care to build phones and other devices
with stereo speakers when they’re not as good as a portable speaker.
I rather listen to music via headphones on any portable device i can
get.
The stream was a very good example as it doesn’t offer any good at all.

Consider this.
How could anyone possibly Gage the quality of a recording through
small speakers that aren't even designed to sound any good rather
they just appear to be put into a recorder as an afterthought.
Good recorders in the past have not necessarily had any speakers in
them at all and I can give perfect examples of this.
The Sony Wmd-6 professional cassette walkman.
The Sony MZR-900 Minidisc recorder.
The Sony PCM-D50 recorder.
The above machines sold not because of any internal speaker but
because they were good quality recorders.
Another point, do you expect to be able to judge how good a music
file sounds just through listening to the internal speaker of your
phone? Coruse not.
The Victor Reader Stream may I remind you doesn't even come with a
good quality sound from its internal speaker.

Ah look at what Zoom calls the speaker. It's called a confidence
speaker. So for the sighted I guess it's just to see how the sound
came out. Though not in a real good way. For us the blind it helpes
in that you can hear something thus know the thing is even on. Now
I agree with ya that you should at least have some ear buds. But
some people and Neal apparently is 1 don't like doing that. Well
Neal also uses those in ear mikes Larry Scutchann did.

The speaker of a recorder to me at least isn't all that important
as I always carry around a pair of headphones and I often wonder
why manufacturers bother to build speakers into recorders in the
first place, after all I buy the recorder to record with.
One thing I do like with the LS-P4 is the ability to output sound
through a Bluetooth speaker or headset.
Some of the best speakers I've heard in recorders go to the
Olympus LS-100 and the Zoom H6.

Hi. I'm wondering how the speaker sounds on this model. I
currently own the dm720 and also had the lsp2 for a short time
which I returned. The one thing I really don't like on many of
the Olympus recorders is that they use really tiny and tinny
sounding speakers with little volume. I think they can and should
do better. How would you describe the sound characteristics of
the builtin speaker of the lsp4? Amazon currently has this model
for $180 with free prime shipping.

Subject: [all-audio] Olympus LS-P4 Recorder
Neal's talking about the LS-P2 isn't he and not the P4? I've no
idea how similar or different these machines are.
I did think about purchasing the LS-P2 as Ferguson Enterprises
had it on sale.
I originally wanted to purchase a LS-14 but that model is now
discontinued as we all know.
A friend advised me of a local Olympus dealer who he thought had the
LS-14 in stock as it was listed on the web page.
Unfortunately that web page listing was out of date so the dealer
asked me if I'd like to purchase the LS-P4 which - according to
Olympus Australia - is the replacement model for the LS-14.
One can only hope that there are improvements at the very least
with the
LS-P4 over the LS-p2.
One thing I did notice which is interesting, if you have a
Bluetooth speaker connected to the LS-P4 and you have the
recorder set to record using FLAC then the recorder will change
to PCM mode for recording for whatever reason but no need to
panic as the LS-P4 does indeed warn you that the mode has changed
when you go into "Record Standby" mode.

Yeah and basically that's what Neal said it's good fore. It's
supposed
to be good for music too by how it's sold but Neal dissagreed
with that.

I’ve not heard Neal’s review on the P2 as yet so I’m none the
wiser
there.
I only plan to use this recorder for general use so for that it
will
do just fine particularly given the size of the recorder and
the fact
it takes 1 AAA type battery.

I just grabbed it. Hmmmm this has a bit of a bigger sound then
the
P2. But then again you didn't shut the middle Omni off right?
Neal
for what ever reason just hates that omni. It's kinda funny
actually
how it gets under his skin. Meh maybe he's right. an omni
between 2
cardioids may not be a good idea. I'd have to get an H5 at
least 3
real seperate mikes, and try it for reals. Cause they are too
little
even on the 14 and too near to each other to really see what
having
that omni there actually does bad.

Here’s a link to the second recording I’ve made thus far with
the
Olympus LS-p4 and that’s not bad going given I’ve only had the
recorder for half an hour and I stopped for a lunch break
<smile>
I’d like to make it clear that there’s nothing special about
this
recording and no precautions were taken.
The Olympus was in auto level mode and I didn’t fit a
windscreen so
you’ll find that out for yourself I’m sure.
I explain what I’ve found out about the recorder thus far so
enjoy
or not as the case may be.
