Olympus LS-10 Recorder

[Church-Audio]

Just don't understand why the LS-10 was designed with the Line-in with the way it is. I've emailed Olympus about this but the reply basically said 'That's the way it is, there's nothing that can be done about it.'

But it works fine for recording in noisy environments. And the battery life is excellent unlike my R09HR, which eats through them like there's no tomorrow.

Its a huge design flaw in my opinion they could have made a product that knocked the R09 off its perch but failed miserably when it comes to the mic preamp design and the sound of the internal mics makes the Zoom h2 sound like a Neumann.

I´ll tape a blues-rock-show in a 300 people club tomorrow with the internals only and boost low frequencies in post.
Tried that yet some weeks ago and the result was great to my ears. Better than the dpa4061 recording from the same show.
The internals-bass-boosted result was much more sharp edged sounding with less boominess and still great low-end after the boost.

Use my graph to create a boost model so you can put it all back... If you use a parametric eq and adjust the q properly and the center frequency you should be able to use 2 bands and get the bottom end to be flat again..

Thx Chris, last time I did +10db(or +12db) up to 200Hz and it sounded really nice.
Usually I mess around with bass boost until i like the result.
Actually I like the ls-10 internals more than the R09HR internals which are real omnis.
The LS-10 internals are cardioids which I realized last time when I changed the position(angle towards stage) of the ls-10 just a little bit => the result was totally different.

here's my result, recorded from right infront of the speaker

csc's > bbox > ls-10 (line-in) > wav > normalized > mp3

I can't complain...

Retro Dude, what band is that? I really dig the sound.

if anyone is interested in more recordings made by me with the LS-10 check here

...bumping an old thread...

So, unity on LS-10 is 10 on Line In.  Don't use mic in @ all. 

Explains why some of my stuff sounds so thin from last year.

Also, has anyone noticed that using google to search TS.com is much more efficient?
