EIN Olympus LS-12

["Raimund" animalsounds]

Hello all,

I finally received the Olympus LS-12 and measured an EIN of -120 dBu(A), which 
is 2 dB worse than the LS-5/10/11.

I agree that its built quality and the general impression is a step back 
compared to the previous series. 

As someone who needs glasses I also find that the thin font type on the menu is 
quite difficult to read (the display on the old model has a better contrast and 
its font type is bold).

I also noticed that they dropped the PCM Rec Format option 44.1kHz/24bit (the 
24 bit resolution is now only available at 88.1 and 96.0 kHz).

However, considering its lower price (159 Euros) and some additional features, 
such as the Pre-Recording, I think it is still a good value for the money.

Regards,
Raimund
