Olympus DS-9000 System Edition

The combination of two omni-directional microphones in the Intelligent two-microphone system actively monitors and analyses the phase difference from the various sound source while recording. The direction of the sound source can be differentiated by the phase difference as described in the diagram below. By actively analysing the phase difference, the Intelligent two-microphone system creates high directionality mode for dictation, suitable for recording in a noisy environment and stereo recording mode for conference recording.

The DS-9000 incorporates low noise omni-directional microphones which are also used in our consumer flagship LS-P1 PCM recorders. The shock absorber which covers the microphone unit reduces touch noise from your hand to the body. The microphone housing now includes a triple layered pop-filter, which blocks the wind noise generated from the mouth when talking into the microphones. This pop-filter has the same construction as the filter used in the recording studios.

Protect confidential information with data security you can rely on. Every professional sector involves sensitive information in the workplace that needs to be safeguarded by the strictest data security. The DS-9000 is equipped with measures against the accidental loss of a dictation device.

The Olympus DS-9000 protects dictations against unintended access by means of sophisticated 256-bit real-time file encryption (AES). Only authors and typists who know the particular password can open an encrypted dictation. The AES encryption system meets the high-security standard set by governments worldwide for securing data. 256 bit AES is supported when recording in DSS Pro format.

In addition to securing the data, the DS-9000 Device Lock feature protects the device from unauthorised access using a 4-digit PIN code, making sure all data stays off limits to unauthorised individuals. The data loss prevention function allows the DS-9000 to change into a read-only device when it is connected to a PC. It prevents the careless copy of sensitive data in the PC and network. This function can be enabled in the workgroup mode.

Since the slide switch is the most used part of the device, it is essential to offer a durable and reliable switch in order to support our customers in a professional environment. The construction had been changed from a mechanical switch to an optical switch which simplifies the structure of the component. Thanks to this change, it reduces the potential risk of defect, yet offering the same usability at the same time.

The DS-9000 features a 2.4 inch TFT colour LCD. This is 40% larger than the previous model, and supports 240,000 colours, making the information on-screen much easier to read.
