Product Information
Up to 16GB of Memory and 51 Hours of Rechargeable Battery Life
The new Olympus DM series digital audio devices have increased on-board memory, expandable with media cards to make it easier to mix business and pleasure. With 51 hours of rechargeable battery life, the DM-520 captures audio in CD-quality sound in a multitude of environments without needing to be constantly recharged.
DM-520 Key Features
Thanks to the innovative design of the stereo microphone, quality recordings 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 / speakers voice and block out unwanted crowd noise from the background. Separately, open the microphone wide to capture all the subtle sounds in a room. Either way, you’ll enjoy high-quality recordings with well-balanced sound. The 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.
The DM-520 operate 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 these audio devices using easily-obtainable AAA alkaline batteries.
Featuring 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.
The DM-520 and DM-420 digital audio devices deliver 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 that each hold up to 999 files.
DM-520 Additional Features
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.
Choose between recording modes: PCM, WMA or MP3.
The DM-520's automatic voice activation keeps recordings free from dead space and saves recording capacity and time during transcription.
The high powered stereo microphone offers great record clarity from up to 10 feet away. With standardized recording file formats, MP3 and WMA, the device is perfect for users that may need to burn audio files to a disc or share recordings. The unit prevents file tampering (file editing), interruption and accidental deletion.
The DM-520 recorder can categorically classify and store recording in any of the 5 different folders that can be programmed on the recorder. Each folder can store up to 999 messages per folder.
Centralized navigation buttons for easy data input and settings.
The DM-520 connects to Macs and PCs via USB
