raintheory Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) Well I just got my Olympus LS-10, which I had sold my beloved (yet seldom used) MDS-E12 deck in order to get.I'll try to write up a proper review w/pics & audio samples in the near future, but so far I am quite impressed with this one! Don't get me wrong, MiniDisc is still my baby (and will be for years to come, until all of my units die and good ones are hard to come by).Some highlights include:- 2GB internal flash and an SD card slot.- PCM recording up to 24bit/96kHz- Other recording formats include Mp3 (128/256/320) & WMA (64/128/160)- Rec-Level is a physical knob (hated that Sony got rid of this after the first MD units).- Mic sensitivity is a physical switch- Also has a Low Cut physical switch- Stereo speakers on the backside for playback, as well as a tripod socket!- Mic-input as well as built in mics. Also line-in- Drag & Drop to PC/Mac- Uses 2 AA batteries- and more...So I'm pretty excited about this one. It definitely feels solid and well-made/well thought-out. It's ease of rec-setup/etc will make it useful for quick song sketches and field recordings, but believe me I will always have at least one (Hi)MD unit with me.

Strungup Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Does it have a Limiter ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Does it have a Limiter ?Yep, in Manual Rec mode you can choose limiter on or off. ... I'm not sure the specifics of the limiter though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strungup Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Yep, in Manual Rec mode you can choose limiter on or off. ... I'm not sure the specifics of the limiter though.How is the Mic input , on the DR1 Mic in , is several dB lower than the internal mics , Really annoying. I showed a Tascam rep with my preamps that there was at least a 20 db difference between the level of the internal mics , and the AT-822 #1 At-822 direct , and internal mic A/B #2 At-822 thru my preamps into Mic 1 input , and Internal mics A/B I have an idea of how to fix it but I need a schematic to find the two resistors that feed from the mic inputs Impedance is wrong , and replacing or Paralleling the resistors , to change the input impedance would fix the problem .
