Podcaster Tips

Olympus just released a new voice recorder, Olympus DS-50 that is perfect for podcasters because it is a tiny recorder with a clip-on stereo microphone that can pick up both sides of conversation clearly and conveniently. This will free you from putting the recorder or the microphone near you and your subject back and forth.

Olympus DS-50 has 1 GB of integrated memory that allow podcasters to record long or series of conversations for up to 275 hours in average audio quality and 17 hours if the highest-quality STXQ stereo mode is desired.

This voice recorder also function as MP3 or WMA tunes and has a podcast and audio book support that allows you to listen to your downloaded podcasts or audio books. The battery life of Olympus DS-50 is approximately 31 hours of LP mode during recording or 26 hours of playback using earphone.

Lastly, the device is likewise equipped with voice activation and voice guidance where voice prompts describe current settings and audibly confirm commands that can be use to navigate all the features of the voice recorder. With these impressive features, I believe that recording long or series of audio conversations for your podcast show will never a problem anymore.

Of interest: If your cell phone provider gives you service where your voice can’t be heard through your cell phone then it may be time to switch companies and cell phone plans to get better reception.
