By checking the recording level meter on the LCD display and PEAK display indicator, you can fine-tune your recording levels. Professional Level Amplifier Circuits Enjoy the most accurate stereo sound possible without any signal deterioration thanks to the high-quality microphone amplifier. It uses an advanced amplifier circuit to suppress interference – for original stereo sound audio recording from a compact device. OLYMPUS engineers have also gone even further to develop a new codec, so you have even clearer sound quality with less noise during AD/DA music conversion. Direct PC connection without a cable The built-in USB connector can be easily deployed and stored using the slide lever. With this feature, you can connect directly to a computer without using a cable or software. Not only can you save and share your recordings, the LS-P1 can also be recharged via USB without having to remove the battery (NiMH Included offering 39 hours battery life). The recorder can also be used as a USB memory device. Zoom microphone for recording from a distance With the latest directional quality control technologies, switching to directional microphone mode unleashes the power of proximity recording in noisy environments, such as at lectures or when recording from a distant position. You can adjust the directivity by operating with the "-" and "+" buttons. The new zoom microphone mode adjusts the recording level higher according to the zoom. Intelligent Auto Mode - Does the adjusting for you To make listening to your recordings more comfortable, the Intelligent Auto Mode adjusts the microphone sensitivity to match the volume of the sound source. When a speaker is talking loudly, the recorder reduces the input level, and for soft voices, the recorder increases the input level. In this way, the function automatically keeps track of the input level and simultaneously adjusts the recording level so that it always records at the best quality, providing an even level of volume
