The LS-P5, in combination with the latest OM SYSTEM compact Micro 4/3 camera models such as the 4K/60 video OM-1 flagship, provide the perfect all-in-one audio capture device, enabling content creators to produce professional video with high-resolution sound ideal for travel, documentary, event, wedding or music videos. This combination also delivers excellent audio for YouTube videos, influencers, and creators. Equipped with a new and improved high-performance microphone system, TRESMIC II, the LS-P5 delivers expanded frequency response stereo sound capture, and high-resolution recordings in Linear PCM or FLAC 96kHZ/24bit format. This device contains three built-in high-performance directional microphones capable of guided Zoom control. Balanced adjustment of each microphone's directionality makes it possible to reliably record original sound sources from low to high frequencies, capturing delicate sounds exactly as you hear them. The device is equipped with functionality that mixes input from the three microphones and adjusts the directionality in 21 levels while maintaining audio quality. Additionally, the microphones feature sound pressure resistance levels up to 125dB (SPL), making it possible to record distortion-free sound sources across a wide dynamic range, from loud music to birdsong and lectures. The LS-P5 offers Bluetooth® technology for connectivity with Bluetooth® compatible devices. The free DVR.Remote smartphone app (iOS and Android) can be used to remotely operate the recorder easily from a smartphone (up to 10m/30ft), ideal for reducing handling noise while changing settings during recording. Great for students who want to place the recorder near the speaker to capture lecture recordings. Not only can you start and stop recording, but you can also adjust the levels while recording and change filter settings or directionality, which is convenient when recording musical performances, business meetings, press conferences or even wild birds from a distance. Wireless headphone monitoring (in 16-bit recording mode) provides a solution for video content creators and musicians, perfect for silent band rehearsals and without the clutter of cables. Use the LS-P5 as an external camera microphone to incorporate better audio, the perfect solution for cameras without a headphone jack. Wireless Bluetooth® audio monitoring and remote-control work seamlessly together up to 10m (32 ft). The recorder supports a maximum sampling frequency of 96 kHz and linear PCM recording at a quantization bit rate of up to 24 bits (three times the information of that on a CD). It also supports lossless compression FLAC recording and playback format for retaining high quality sound while maintaining file sizes 30% smaller than PCM WAV. In addition to the high capacity 16GB internal memory, you may record to an optional microSD card without the worry of running out of space when recording for long periods of time. Additionally, you can manually adjust the recording level so that it records at the optimal S/N ratio in accordance with the volume of the source sound. The user can also fine tune the level while reviewing the recording level meter on the LCD display and the peak display indicator for a greater level of precision during recording. The new “Bright Sound” mode offers clearer recordings of spoken words while vlogging, during lectures, or meetings. Recording with elevated mid to high-range levels make it possible to capture audio while minimizing the effects of ambient sounds. In addition to the Auto and Manual recording modes, the LS-P5 now offers a new Smart Mode. By holding and pressing the Record button, Smart Mode sets the optimal recording level for the environment and sound source by performing an automated “sound check”. Press Record again to begin capturing your audio, perfect for novices.
