DM-520
Digital
Voice Recorder
Olympus, the market
leader for voice recorders, today introduces the new DM-520 digital audio
recorder that has greater capacity to capture more meetings/interviews,
create more podcasts, and plays back more music, audio books, podcasts and
other content than ever before. The DM-520 have increased internal memory
(4 gigabytes) and expandable microSD capacity (up to an additional 16
gigabytes) to record longer than ever before.
Super High-Quality Recording In Your Pocket
The new DM-520 can record and play super high-quality stereo audio content
of 44.1 kilohertz (kHz), which is equal to the sound quality of most
compact discs. The DM-520 also features uncompressed 16 bit/48kHz Linear
PCM recording capability, to capture the rich sound quality of music
performances. Users can download and play back PCM, MP3 and WMA (Windows
Media Audio) files. This provides users with extreme flexibility, enabling
them to use one device for recording meetings and lectures for work or
school, while also enjoying music afterwards for fun.
New Olympus Sonority Software Compatible with PC or Mac
Enjoy your sound with the included easy-to-use Olympus Sonority Software,
which facilitates wave data management. You can erase noise, adjust sound
effects and divide files, to name a few options. The software allows for
uploading, organizing, and emailing of audio files and direct downloading
of podcasts. The software also expands your sphere of activities thanks to
its compatibility with any PC or Mac.
Memory Capacity and Expandability
The DM-520 has 4 gigabytes of internal memory. The audio devices each
feature a removable microSD media card slot to further expand capacity by
up to 16 gigabytes. During a busy day of recording, changing optional
microSD cards is an easy way for users to capture more audio without
taking the time to download files to a computer.
Ultra High-Quality Sound for a Variety of Recordings
Thanks to the innovative design of the stereo microphone, quality
recordings (voice, music and nature sounds, to name a few) can be easily
captured in a variety of situations. Use the “scene modes” based on your
current environment. Pick the zoom feature to pinpoint a lecturer’s voice
and block out unwanted crowd noise from the background. Separately, open
the microphone wide to capture all the subtle sounds in nature. Either
way, you’ll enjoy high-quality recordings with well-balanced sound.
Long Lasting Power with Rechargeable Battery Function
Tired of filling landfills with costly disposable batteries? The DM-520
operates for up to 51 hours with two included rechargeable AAA batteries
that recharge by plugging into the USB port on any computer for added
convenience. In situations where a charge is not available, it is also
possible to power the DM-520 using easily-obtainable AAA alkaline
batteries.
Make the Connection
USB 2.0 high-speed delivers fast downloads and uploads of files to and
from the DM-520 using the included USB cable. No need to download any
software since you can record WMA, MP3 and WAV formats. This feature
enables users to connect with speed and ease, and once downloaded, files
can be archived or emailed to friends and family.
Voice Guidance
The DM-520 features a voice confirmation function that can be turned on or
off. When turned on, the function enables the devices to speak, helping
users to navigate the folders and various set-up options. The pleasant
automated voice guides users through the onscreen menus for setting date,
time and other menu selecting modes. It also confirms by stating the
folder name as the user moves from one folder to another. This enables
visually challenged users to easily capture recordings and move through
the device’s menus, folders and set-up options.
Easily Find What You’re Listening For
The DM-520 digital audio device delivers an easy-to-use interface that
enables users to accurately arrange digital files with unparalleled
organization for meetings, dates and reminders. Both have seven folders
(five for audio, one for music and one for podcasts) that each hold up to
999 files. It also include multi-language support in English, French and
Spanish.
