Hands-on with the Olympus LS-11

In Show 45, we took a quick look at the Olympus LS-11, pictured here. This is a high-spec recording device that can record high-quality stereo audio on the move.

As we only had a few minutes in the show to cover this impressive bit of kit, we’ve put together one of our special “Unofficial Guides”, where we go out and about with the recorder capturing sounds and exploring what the LS-11 can do.

Carl and Pete had lots of fun playing with this recorder, and it gave Carl a chance to show off that he does actually know something that Pete doesn’t (which makes a change). have a listen to hear something of a role-reversal for our on-air duo.

The show lasts a little over 18 minutes, and can be downloaded now as an MP3 podcast.

Photos of the LS-11, a detailed review, and the original, uncompressed sounds, can be found at www.frequencycast.co.uk/olympusrecorders.html
