The editors liked

  • Smart
  • Easy to use
  • Good sound
  • Can double as a high quality main input mic. Internal lowcut filter cuts out low frequency sounds and clarifies human voices accurately. Dual 16mm round dynamic speakers boosts recordings for a quick listen.
  • Excellent feature set and recording abilities
  • Fast start-to-record time
  • Easy menu system
  • Solid build
  • Includes audio editing software

The editors didn't like

  • Screen a little hard to read sometimes
  • Lacks XLR inputs. Back speaker audio fidelity is imprecise and a bit echoey. Monochrome display on a $400 device? What is this 1998?
  • Pricey
  • A bit bulky for discreet recording
  • Mics sensitive to hand noise

  • A strong digital sound recorder that packs in an impressive quality of audio capture given the compact form and accessible price. Musicians, reporters, would-be bootleggers and ambitious podcasters should definitely give it serious consideration....

  • We were impressed by the Olympus Linear PCM Recorder LS-10. We'd like to see Olympus continue to pay attention to the somewhat fiddly user interface. However, once you figure it out, this is the system you need whether you're a student, a writer on as...

  • The Olympus LS-10 would not be best classified as a “location recorder,” a moniker generally reserved for recorders with pro-level microphone input options, which LS-10 does not offer (it has only 1/8-inch input jacks). However, this 24-bit/96...
