Speaking of that, I've found the card slot slightly hit and miss. When that happens, it switches to internal recording. This works fine (it has a usable 16GB of internal flash, I think) but it can give you a scary moment when you pop the card out and don't find any of your recordings. The bright sound mode has been created and designed for optimal voice recording, this can be ideal for use when recording podcasts, or any spoken word. This mode records with elevated mid to high-range levels, letting you capture audio while minimising the effects of ambient sounds.

REALLY small". It sits completely on the palm of my hand. The controls are tiny and I haven't completely got the hang of pressing the buttons after trimming my nails. However, I shall persist.

In the box with the review unit were two rechargeable Ni‑MAAA batteries, a multilingual Basic Manual and a micro USB to USB‑A 2.0 adaptor. The LS‑P4 used only one battery, and the idea here is to allow longer running time when using Bluetooth (and longer still when not). The batteries are rechargeable and came fully charged — the device itself acts as a USB‑powered battery charger, which is a nice touch — and I like that spare batteries are cheap and readily available. OM System kindly sent their WJ2 wind jammer and a foam carry/storage pouch to help with testing, though these are not included in the price. There’s support for up to 2TB micro‑SD XC Type 1 cards, and while no card is supplied, there is 16GB of storage built in so you have everything you need to get up and running. I saw this tiny thing on a musician-centric discord. A few people seemed happy with theirs, so I was curious. I accordingly did a search and good ol' Thomann had one of the keenest prices. They're a reputable supplier, so that sealed the deal. I was getting fed up with how long my ancient Zoom was taking to start up and wanted something a little more modern, for opportunistic field recording.

Featuring a built-in zoom microphone, this system combines input from the three microphones, adjusting the directionality in 21 levels to provide an optimal recording, without compromising on audio quality. The self-noise is present but not terrible. It's no Sony D100, at least with the onboard mics. Maybe with very sensitive externals, the situation would improve, I haven't tried that yet, as nature ambience isn't my primary use case. Some remote control features are included courtesy of Bluetooth connectivity, with users able to remotely start and stop recording, as well as adjust levels, change filter settings or microphone directionality via a free iOS and Android-compatible smartphone app. When using 16-bit recording modes, it is also possible to use the Bluetooth connection to wirelessly monitor the audio signal at distances of up to 10m. In studio environments and recording directly into your laptop, the LS-P5 can be used as a USB microphone and speaker. This mode is perfect for streaming or virtual online meetings.

Storage: Files can be recorded to either the 16GB internal memory, or a MicroSD card up to 2TB that slots into the side The Tresmic II three‑mic array differs from previous versions, in that the centre capsule is now a directional one, rather than an omni. Produced with a 16GB built-in memory capacity, the LS-P5 can record up to 7 hours of 96kHz/24-bit Hi-Res audio or a large 21 hours in CD quality. Coupled with the long battery life, you have the potential to record a whole day of audio without stopping to adjust memory cards. For those who will need to capture more than the built-in storage capacity will tolerate, there is a Micro SD Card slot available. This slot can hold a Micro SD card up to 2TB and can give you up to 125x more storage capacity.

The LS-P5 has both Slate Tone and Test Tone available when used as a camera microphone. Slate Tone sends a reference signal to your digital camera for easier editing, while Test Tone enables you to set the camera audio recording levels. Mit den Aufnahmeergebnissen bin ich auch extrem zufrieden. Vor allem weil es relativ unkompliziert ist. Es gibt verschiedene Voreinstellungen oder den SMART Modus, (wenn man die Einstellungen nicht manuell vornehmen möchte). Man hat wenig Aufwand, aber sehr schnell eine gute Aufnahme. The pre-recording mode can be ideal when trying to capture audio of bird songs or lectures. The 2-second pre-record helps to reduce the effect of control lag which could lead to some sound being lost at the start of your audio clip.
