By customisation of its controls and settings, the Olympus DS4000 digital voice recorder can be perfectly adapted to suit your needs and working environment - whether it is in the conference room, court, lab or on the move. Its smart, full-metal body also features a compact, ergonomic form and slide-switch control to enhance performance. The use of removable storage media further delivers effectively unlimited recording times and thanks to the high quality, high compression DSS file format, you won't have to change cards often.
