Product Description
High Quality Performance in an Easy to Use Device
Stay intuitive with the new 4-position optical slide switch
The optical slide switch, simpler and more durable than the former mechanical slide switch, enables easy and intuitive operation, allowing you to focus your thoughts on your dictation. Start, stop, and edit your dictations easily via the robust slide switch without even looking at the device.
Save time: A whole range of editing options for easy text creation
There is more to creating text by speaking than just recording. The digital speech standard (DSS) allows for fast file editing (insert, overwrite, append, erase/cut).
Recorder comes with 2GB internal memory and SD card slot which will take 4GB – 32GB card.
High Quality Low-Noise Microphone
The DS series incorporates two large omni-directional microphones, which are independently housed for sound reproduction. A shock absorber covers the microphone unit and reduces touch noises from your hand to the body. A studio grade pop-filter blocks the wind noise generated from the mouth when talking into the microphone.
Including directional stereo recording
During meetings, many people often talk in confusion and from different directions. The DS-2600, when set to Conference Mode, is especially suitable for capturing meetings. You can record your meetings with ease, but still with outstanding quality.
Durable Body with Large Colour Display
The new impact resistant body, withstands drops of up to 0.5m, comes with a large 6cm colour LCD screen.
