Compact Linear PCM Recorder with a
Stylish Design
The LS-3 combines superior-quality 96 kHz/24-bit linear PCM recording capability with compact size. Featuring TRESMIC 3-microphone system and new Codec playback engine as well as dual-step low-cut filters, the LS-3 is the ideal choice when you want full-fledged recording performance in a pocketable compact body.
TRESMIC 3-Microphone System for High-Quality Recording
From Low to High Frequencies
The newly developed TRESMIC 3-microphone system was specially designed to record a wide range of frequency bandwidths in high quality. This system features an omnidirectional center microphone to enhance low frequencies, as well as two high-performance directional stereo microphones. While the recording frequency with the center microphone OFF is 70 to 20,000 Hz, turning ON all three TRESMIC system microphones (including the center microphone) achieves a flat recording frequency response from 20 to 20,000 Hz, making it possible to record more natural, closer-to-reality sound with a fuller bass sound. The center microphone can be switched on/off according to the recording location or conditions
Manual Audio Recording Level Adjustment with Limiter and Compressor
Audio recording level can be adjusted either automatically or manually. To ensure optimum recording quality with manual adjustment, a built-in limiter is provided to suppress sound distortion, operating whenever the volume of input sound is too high. There's also a compressor to compress the sound while maintaining the overall balance.
New CODEC High-Quality Audio Engine
The LS-3 incorporates the ultra-low-power hi-fi Codec, the latest audio engine for portable devices from Wolfson Microelectronics, a world leader in high-end audio technology. This advanced new technology dramatically enhances audio reproduction from small speakers, as well as facilitating high-fidelity recording and playback across a broader frequency spectrum. Retune technology is also incorporated to flatten the frequency response.

Pre-Recording Function Ensures You Never Miss a Beat
When the Pre-Recording function is set to ON, up to 2 seconds of audio is continuously saved in memory. As a result, whenever you press the REC button, the recording actually starts from 2 seconds before you press the button. That means you'll never miss the sound you want to capture.
