Olympus WS-700M Introduction Manual

, Rec Menu

Microphone sensitivity is adjustable to meet 
recording needs.
[High]: Highest recording sensitivity suitable 

for recording at a distance or low volume, 
such as at conferences with a large 
number of people.

[Middle]: Suitable for recording meetings 

and seminars with a small number of 
people.

[Low]: Lowest recording sensitivity suitable 

for dictation.

•  When you would like to clearly record 

a speaker’s voice, set [Mic Sense] to 
[Low] and hold recorder’s built-in stereo 
microphone close to the speaker’s mouth 
(5-10 cm) when recording.

The recorder can record in the linear PCM 
format (For WS-710M, WS-700M only). High 
resolution recording at a high sampling rate 
and high bit rate equivalent or superior to 
that of a music CD is possible. Moreover, it 
also supports the MP3 and WMA formats.

[PCM]*: This is an uncompressed audio 

format which is used for music CDs 
and the like.

[MP3]: MPEG is the international 

standard established by a working 
group of the ISO (International 
Organization for Standardization).

[WMA]: This is an audio compression 

encoding method that was 
developed by the Microsoft 
Corporation in the US.

* For WS-710M, WS-700M only.
