User Reviews about Olympus Linear Recorder (LS-11)

This was a spur-of-the-moment purchase; a friend of mine was looking for a good audio recorder and I wanted one too, but hadn't gotten around to doing the research. So, when we looked around, the Olympus L-11 was our choice for birdwatching, seminar recording and drumming lesson recording, and we both bought one. We are very happy with them, they are exactly as advertised, and the shipping/delivery was excellent too. -- L-11 a hit with me!

I'm really happy with my Olympus LS-11; it suites my purpose perfectly i.e. recording small and large vocal groups, band-rehearsals and acoustic guitars. In my view the strength of the LS-11 is:
- Excellent mics
- Excellent battery life
- Handy types of files (MP3 and WAV)
- Very informative display
- Size and shape (fits pockets and hands well)
- Mic screens in the box
On the weakness side:
- "enter" button needs a careful push (or you end up with an up/down selection)
- Display information is sometimes hard to read due to small letters

I also bought the silicon protective holster and the remote control...both are a must-have in my view. -- Very good field recorder

All what you need to start make sound for your CD/DVD, memo or sound design. Easy to use and good stereo mics.

Included package with case and accessories is helpful.

I have used for live music, sound effects and adhoc guitar riff recorder when I am lazy to start PC.

I am suggesting to buy small tripod.

For me is so sensitive for handling noise. -- Great tool for sound design beginners
