WS-811, WS-812, WS-813 specifications

The Olympus WS series of digital voice recorders, specifically the WS-813, WS-812, and WS-811 models, are engineered for versatility and high-quality audio capture, making them ideal for students, professionals, and anyone in need of efficient sound recording. Each of these models shares a sleek, compact design, which enhances portability without compromising functionality.

One of the standout features across the WS series is the advanced microphone technology. The devices are equipped with high-fidelity stereo microphones that deliver crystal-clear audio quality, ensuring that dialogue and sounds are captured with remarkable clarity. This makes the recorders suitable for interviews, lectures, and conferences. Additionally, the models feature a built-in noise cancellation system that minimizes background noise, allowing for more focused recordings.

The WS-813, WS-812, and WS-811 utilize Linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) for high-resolution recordings. This technology ensures that audio is captured in rich detail, suitable for music and nuanced sound environments. The devices also support various recording formats, allowing users to choose between different levels of compression depending on their storage and quality preferences.

User-friendliness is another hallmark of the WS series. With intuitive navigation, users can easily access their recordings and manage files. The built-in USB connectivity allows for effortless transfer of audio files to a computer for editing or sharing. Additionally, all three models feature a large, easy-to-read LCD screen that displays recording time, battery life, and other important information at a glance.

Battery efficiency is another critical characteristic of the Olympus WS-813, WS-812, and WS-811. They operate on a single AAA battery, providing extended recording time, perfect for long events or fieldwork without the worry of battery depletion.

The WS-813 model includes some additional features such as a voice activation function that captures audio automatically when sound is detected, while the WS-812 and WS-811 offer robust sound quality in a more streamlined package. All models come with a variety of playback options, including adjustable speed control, enabling users to revisit recordings at their preferred pace.

In conclusion, the Olympus WS-813, WS-812, and WS-811 digital voice recorders provide advanced audio capture capabilities, portability, and ease of use. These features, coupled with their meeting and lecture-friendly design, make these devices an invaluable tool for anyone in need of reliable voice recording solutions.
