Main Features

●The DS-3000 digital voice recorder stores highly compressed DSS audio files on SmartMedia cards.

●The DS-3000 supports two recording modes: SP (Standard Playback) mode and LP (Long Playback) mode (☞ P.22). The supplied 16MB SmartMedia card can store approximately 2 hours and 35 minutes of recordings* in SP mode and approximately 5 hours and 30 minutes* in LP mode. A 128MB SmartMedia card (sold separately) can hold up to 44 hours and 40 minutes* of recordings.

●The Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) saves memory space by pausing recording when the recorder judges that there is no sound (☞ P.30).

●Recorded audio files can be stored in three separate folders for easier identification in future use.

●The LCD screen displays file numbers, a real-time counter, remaining recording time, current time and date, operating mode, and warnings in a clear format.

●Overwrite recording, insert recording, additional recording and partial erasure functions make it easy to correct and edit recordings.

●Furthermore, the AS-3000 transcription kit (sold separately) provides you with a PC- footswitch and DSS Player Pro Transcription Module for easy transcription of DSS recordings.

*The recording time available may be shorter than specified if a large number of short recordings are made. (Use the remaining time and recorded time only as references.)
