FEATURES

Your Optimus Micro-32 Microcassette Tape Recorder with Voice Activation and Counter is lightweight, com- pact, and easy to operate. It’s perfect for recording lectures, interviews, and meetings. The Micro-32 has these features:

Voice Activated System — records only when it de- tects sound so you can save tape and power.

Three Power Options — give you the choice of pow- ering your recorder with two AA batteries, standard AC power (requires optional AC adapter), or a vehicle battery (requires optional DC adapter).

Two Tape Speeds — let you record and play back the tape at slow speed for twice the recording/play- back time or at normal speed for better sound quality.

Built-In Condenser Microphone — lets you record

without an external microphone.

Counter/Cue/Review — help you find a tape section.

Automatic Level Control — automatically adjusts

the recording level.

DC Bias Circuit — ensures a high signal-to-noise ra- tio and low distortion during recording.
