Olympus Appeals to Podcasters & Visually-Impaired With New Digital Voice
Recorders

 HYPERLINK

Olympus has added three new digital voice recorders to its DS-Series line,
all of which are optimized for usage in podcasting. The DS-30, DS-40, and
DS-50 come with software that aids in downloading podcasts, then
automatically updates the content each time the recorder is synched with the
PC. They are also specially designed to work with HYPERLINK
"http://www.audible.com/"www.audible.-com, a popular online provider of
audio books and other spoken entertainment and information.

Each recorder boasts the highest sound quality in the firm's line: using a
new XSHQ Remarkable Stereo Sound Quality mode, the devices can record and
play back audio at 44.1 kHz. A Voice Guidance function can be activated to
audibly guide users through selecting settings and set-up options: an added
benefit for the visually-impaired. The instructional manual is also
available as an audio file. The recorders, which connect to the PC for
downloading MP3 and WMA files via USB, include a removable stereo
microphone; and built-in memory that ranges from 256 MB to 1 GB.

“Olympus has done a fantastic job designing the new DS-Series, in particular
the voice guidance feature will have great appeal to both commuters and the
visually impaired community,” said Chia-Lin Simmons, Vice President
Strategic Alliances, Audible, Inc. “This functionality is a great asset to
anyone that relies upon Audible for its audio programming. We are confident
that the combination of Audible’s vast audio selection with Olympus, the
technology leader in digital voice recording, will be well received.”

“Our DS-Series voice recorders have been used for years by professionals
such as doctors and lawyers to capture audio throughout their workday,”
added Andy Flagg, Director, Sales and Marketing, Olympus Imaging America
Inc. “These new devices have moved from the hospital and courtroom into
their personal lives. With stereo headphones and up to one gigabyte memory,
the new devices are optimal for holding virtual libraries of music, audio
books and podcasts, as well as the traditional voice recordings.”

The speaker is located on the back, while recording and playback buttons are
situated on the side of each unit. The front is dedicated to an arrow pad
and buttons for menu navigation, and the high-contrast LCD screen, which
displays file information, recording time, and settings. Each recorder also
includes a sliding power on/off switch. Using an optional remote controller,
podcasters can remove the microphone and clip it onto their shirt or tie for
more comfortable use.

Additional features include timer recording; variable speed playback (up to
50 per cent slower and faster than real time); and up to 32 hours of
continuous operation via two AAA batteries (AC power also available).

All three models are finished in metallic: the DS-30 in silver with an amber
backlight LCD screen; the DS-40 in dark silver with a white backlight LCD;
and the DS-50 in blue, also with a white backlight LCD.  All three ship with
the stereo microphone and earphones, USB cable,  DSS Player Version 7
Software CD-ROM, and two AAA-alkaline batteries; while the DS-50 adds a
remote control and carrying case. ESPs are $179.99 (DS-30); $239.99 (DS-40);
and $299.99 (DS-50).
