This slot can hold a Micro SD card up to 2TB and can give you up to 125x more storage capacity. The recordings can be organised via custom folders, you can change the folders and file names using the DVR.Remote smartphone app. Each of your recorded clips can be easily searchable thanks to the calendar format, this automatically marks each recording with a date and is displayed in a calendar format Submit a valuation request and we'll provide guide prices with no delay. Plus, we'll collect your gear from your home or work for FREE.Storage: Files can be recorded to either the 16GB internal memory, or a MicroSD card up to 2TB that slots into the side Mit den Aufnahmeergebnissen bin ich auch extrem zufrieden. Vor allem weil es relativ unkompliziert ist. Es gibt verschiedene Voreinstellungen oder den SMART Modus, (wenn man die Einstellungen nicht manuell vornehmen möchte). Man hat wenig Aufwand, aber sehr schnell eine gute Aufnahme. The bright sound mode has been created and designed for optimal voice recording, this can be ideal for use when recording podcasts, or any spoken word. This mode records with elevated mid to high-range levels, letting you capture audio while minimising the effects of ambient sounds. Multiple intelligent recording modes are available, including Auto, Manual and Smart recording modes. Each can be used for creating a customised sound recording The Intelligent Auto mode can automatically adjust sound levels dynamically, while the Manual mode allows for fine-tuning of the recording levels to match the audio source volume. Smart recording assists in achieving the optimum sound level, this is set by listening to the environment before recording.

In studio environments and recording directly into your laptop, the LS-P5 can be used as a USB microphone and speaker. This mode is perfect for streaming or virtual online meetings. In the box with the review unit were two rechargeable Ni‑MAAA batteries, a multilingual Basic Manual and a micro USB to USB‑A 2.0 adaptor. The LS‑P4 used only one battery, and the idea here is to allow longer running time when using Bluetooth (and longer still when not). The batteries are rechargeable and came fully charged — the device itself acts as a USB‑powered battery charger, which is a nice touch — and I like that spare batteries are cheap and readily available. OM System kindly sent their WJ2 wind jammer and a foam carry/storage pouch to help with testing, though these are not included in the price. There’s support for up to 2TB micro‑SD XC Type 1 cards, and while no card is supplied, there is 16GB of storage built in so you have everything you need to get up and running.The pre-recording mode can be ideal when trying to capture audio of bird songs or lectures. The 2-second pre-record helps to reduce the effect of control lag which could lead to some sound being lost at the start of your audio clip. Physically the new model looks much as before, with three microphones at the front, a small square dot matrix display, and the same button layout. Its Tresmic II system provides zoomable stereo output, ranging from a wide 180° soundstage to focusing narrowly in front of the device, shotgun-style. You can record in qualities up to 96KHz / 24-bit, using either the lossy MP3 format, lossless compressed FLAC, or uncompressed WAV.

My initial impression was "that's... REALLY small". It sits completely on the palm of my hand. The controls are tiny and I haven't completely got the hang of pressing the buttons after trimming my nails. However, I shall persist. The LS-P5 has both Slate Tone and Test Tone available when used as a camera microphone. Slate Tone sends a reference signal to your digital camera for easier editing, while Test Tone enables you to set the camera audio recording levels.Some remote control features are included courtesy of Bluetooth connectivity, with users able to remotely start and stop recording, as well as adjust levels, change filter settings or microphone directionality via a free iOS and Android-compatible smartphone app. When using 16-bit recording modes, it is also possible to use the Bluetooth connection to wirelessly monitor the audio signal at distances of up to 10m. Ich habe mir dieses Aufnahmegerät bestellt, um mein Klavierspiel an einem hochwertigen Akustik-Piano im Wohnzimmer aufzunehmen. Da ich den vollen Raumklang einfangen möchte, soll das Aufnahmegerät mitten im Raum stehen, also ca 2 Meter entfernt vom Piano. Dafür schien mir der LS-P5 bestens geeignet, weil er zusätzlich eine Bluetooth Smartphone Fernsteuerung hat. I was getting fed up with how long my ancient Zoom was taking to start up and wanted something a little more modern, for opportunistic field recording. Music: You can use the device as a high-res audio player, by copying music files into a standard Artist/Album folder structure Smart volume control: A Smart audio control analyses sound levels for a few seconds and then sets the recording volume accordingly
