Product Description
DIRECTIONAL STEREO RECORDING
Experience versatile recording with the built-in stereo microphones, providing both Dictation and Conference modes. Tailor your recording experience further by selecting from three microphone sensitivity options. Opt for High sensitivity for crisp conference recordings, choose Mid for effective dictation, or select Low for optimal up-close recording
Low-noise microphone unit
The DS-2700 incorporates low noise omni-directional microphones. The built-in shock absorber covers the microphone unit, reducing handling noise from the body.
Studio grade pop-filter
The microphone housing now includes a triple layered pop-filter, which helps block the wind noise and plosive sounds when speaking into the microphones.
Dictation Mode
For classic dictation of your notes or reports, the main microphone will be recording in an omni-directionality mode so that the recorder can be held in any way.
Conference Mode
Designed for interviews and small meetings, conference recording controls the directionally of the 2 microphones into a 90° layout, which enables high quality recording in a realistic stereo capture. Regardless of where the person speaking is located or the direction of speech, you can clearly capture the information.
Flexible audio recording formats
The DSS format promises effective compression without compromising quality in digital voice capture. . The digital speech standard (DSS) allows for quick file editing (insert, overwrite, append, erase/cut) and uses meta information (index, verbal comments, work types, etc.) to facilitate collaboration and automatic processing. PCM format, with its minimal compression, ensures exceptional quality as well as compatibility with a variety of playback tools. Simultaneously, the widely utilized MP3 format serves as an excellent choice for storing consumer audio and enables easy transfer/playback of music on digital audio players.
Noise activated recording with VCVA
The VCVA function efficiently manages memory by pausing recording during quiet intervals and automatically restarting when it detects sound exceeding a preset threshold. This feature optimizes playback efficiency and prolongs recording time.
Index marks
While recording or playing back, you have the flexibility to insert up to 32 Index Marks into an audio file. These marks act as handy indicators, helping you identify crucial or noteworthy segments of your dictation.
Insert and Overwrite recording modes
Unlock different recording options with the DS-2700. Use Insert mode to seamlessly add recordings into existing audio files without the need for additional addendums. Overwrite mode enables you to record over previous dictation at any chosen point. Lastly, Append mode effortlessly adds a new recording to the end of an existing file. With the addition of the New File creation button, you don’t need to start a new recording until you are ready.
