Using the Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA)

When the microphone senses that sounds have reached a preset threshold volume level, the built-in Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) starts recording automatically, and stops when the volume drops below the threshold level.

The VCVA feature help extend recording time and conserve memory by turning off recording during silent periods. This helps make the playback, with no lulls or dead space, more efficient and convenient.

This ease of use is particularly appreciated in fast-paced environments where time is limited.

Additional features include voice activation, which conserves memory and battery power by only recording when sound is detected. This is particularly useful in situations where a user may not want to manually manage the recording process continuously.

Furthermore, both models are compatible with a variety of audio formats, allowing for flexibility in file management and playback. Users can transfer recordings to their computers easily, making it convenient to share or archive important audio files.

In summary, the Olympus DM-10 and DM-20 digital voice recorders are exceptional tools engineered to meet the diverse recording needs of users.
