Remanufactured Olympus DW-90 Digital Voice Recorder (Champagne Gold)

Remanufactured Olympus DW-90 Digital Voice Recorder (Champagne Gold)

Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Uniquely designed, the Remanufactured Olympus DW-90 Digital Voice Recorder is a head-turner that cleverly combines form with function. The DW-90's distinctive appearance is attributable to the powerful built-in directional microphone, which is capable of recording speech in high-audio quality from up to six meters away. With a maximum recording capacity of 90 minutes, this model lets voice files be saved in three folders with room for 100 files in each. A scheduler function with up to 20 individually recordable alarm messages gives this Olympus notetaker added appeal. Weighing only 65 grams (including batteries), the ultra-light DW-90 transfers your data directly from the recorder to your PC via an easy-to-use USB cable and is powered by two (included) AAA batteries.

What's in the Box
The Olympus DW-90, two AAA batteries, a CD with Digital Wave Player software, earphones, a USB cable, and a strap with stand.

Wish I could find a hard case for this.......2006-08-25

I like this voice recorder. I just wanted something for my purse, so I could take a voice memo for myself, or record nature sounds like birds. It's a nice little recorder for that. But it keeps getting turned on by things in my purse, which runs the batteries down. I wish I could find a hard shell case for it, to prevent that from happening.

Pretty good sound, missing some features.......2005-02-16

I was actually pleasantly surprised at the sound quality this unit gives, considering that there is no way to attach an external microphone. If you look on the Olympus website, you'll see that the DW90 has a sampling frequency of 22 kHz in HQ mode. That's better than the norm of 8 to 16 kHz that many others use (although not as good as something like the DM10 or new DS-2, which record at CD quality 44.1 kHz). The frequency response is only 300 to 5,800Hz, so I wouldn't try recording a symphony, but that's comparable to many of these voice recorders (again that DS-2 actually covers 100 to 17,000Hz. Impressive). If you're willing to download to PC frequently and don't need to capture more than 20 minutes at a time, it's a pretty good little device.

It's also impressive that even after my wife dropped the recorder in the bath, it still works. Now the batteries don't last long, and I can't rewind, but everything else works great.

Very Small Capacity.......2004-04-26

I purchased this thinking that I was getting a recorder that would actually hold 90 minutes of audio. Unfortunately that capacity is only available for "LP" mode which is highly distorted. HQ and SP modes record very well, but only plan on getting 20-30 minutes of use out of it before the memory is full.

The PC connection was not automatic, despite the instruction manual comments that no additional software was required. On the whole, I found no little to no support material available on the Olympus website.

I returned the recorder and am still looking for something <$100 that provides 2-3 hours of high quality recording with a PC connection.

Proved with time.......2004-01-21

I've been using this recorder for about 5 months now, and I love it now just as much as I did when I first purchased it. One thing that I like very much about the design is that the Erase button is extremely hard to accidentally push (and that, twice) - which shows someone was thinking when they designed it. The software installed perfectly, and works perfectly. I am very satisfied with this little recorder; it does not weigh much, but it gets the job done - and very well at that.

Compact yet full of features.......2003-09-09

I just got this little guy (so small it fits in the palm of my hand), and I am thoroughly satisfied with it. It is small, yet it has a lot of features, and it seems to be well manufactured - doesn't seem like it will break real soon or anything. I have recorded four files so far, and have even transfered them to my laptop (running Win 98 SE). The installation of the software was seamless, and all works great. I have not had a chance to try out some features of the recorder (lecture mode for instance), but I am very satisfied with what I got so far.
