Quality and affordable recorder
The Olympus WS-852 is a quality and affordable recorder that will fit well into the inventory of professional journalists, police officers, and, of course, anyone who collects information for personal use, such as lectures and trainings. The included dual microphone with a 90-degree pick-up angle does a good job of capturing even quiet sounds, but the final recording quality is far from top-end models like the Zoom H6. However, their prices differ significantly. Therefore, it is more useful for musicians when it is necessary to convey meaning, rather than the nuances of sound. That is, quickly sing or play some melody on the guitar until the idea flies out of your head. If you don't have strict requirements for the frequency and bitness of the audio, the WS-852 can be a great mix of voice recorder and field recorder.
Intelligent recording system
The main feature of the Olympus WS-852 is an intelligent recording system, a kind of auto-leveler that eliminates the big difference in the volume of sources. Simply put, a scream will be heard like a normal conversation, while a whisper will become louder. Thus, listening comfort is improved and further there is less trouble with alignment and compression of recorded files. And not only she. For example, we really liked the stand, with which the device can be installed on the table in a position directed towards the interlocutors (speaker). Every voice recorder would have one.
"Dual" menu with simple and professional settings
Another plus is the so-called two-layer menu. For starters, there is a "simple mode", which provides access to the most popular functions, and "complex" allows you to fine-tune the gadget's operation, up to the microphone sensitivity. The first mode is intended for beginners, the second for professionals. Against the background of all this, only an inconvenient connection upset, instead of the usual cable, the guys from Olympus made a retractable USB port that needs to be connected directly to the computer, which is not very convenient. Or use an extension cord with an adapter.
