Re: Voice Recorder: Olympus DM-650 vs Olympus WS-833

Hi, all My final choice is the Tascam DR-07 Mark II , which I have used for about a week. The reasons I chose Tascam DR-07 Mark II over Zoom H1 are as follows: Reviews that recommended the Tascam over the Zoom Blind test of sample voice recordings in which I chose the Tascam Lower price due to promo...

Re: Voice Recorder: Olympus DM-650 vs Olympus WS-833

Your recorder looks perfect for my use. Shame they don't seem to make those kind of low profile recorders that also perform well. I was also looking around for other options (for example, DR05 and DR07 from Tascam - I believe it was made to compete directly with the H1). While the design is more inc...

Re: Voice Recorder: Olympus DM-650 vs Olympus WS-833

A note on "flexibility". If you are ever likely to be recording just two people, it would probably be better to use a couple of tie-clip mics. Do either of those devices allow external mics (or an external "line level" device, such as a mixer) to be plugged in? While that may be a feasible option, ...

Re: Voice Recorder: Olympus DM-650 vs Olympus WS-833

In addition to the questions asked in the previous reply, I would like to ask the following: - Will Zoom H1 Handy Recorder better meet my needs? (Costs about S$170 from Amazon with shipping) - Is an omnidirectional microphone a must for meeting recording? (e.g. if I am sitting behind the recorder, w...

Re: Voice Recorder: Olympus DM-650 vs Olympus WS-833

As far as meetings, I have been able to get that to work, but not in a way that's helpful to you. I use a very old Olympus S701 physical cassette Pearlcorder and I like it very much. I like less that it only has a reduced quality recording time of one hour. Half hour at full quality. There is a cle...

Voice Recorder: Olympus DM-650 vs Olympus WS-833

It would be ideal to spend less than S$300 (about US$240) to achieve the highest quality possible. Currently,...
