DS-9100 Digital Recorder

Low-noise microphone unit

The DS-9100 incorporates low noise omni-directional microphones. The built-in shock absorber covers the microphone unit, reducing handling noise from the body.

Studio grade pop-filter

The microphone housing includes a triple layered pop-filter, which helps block the wind noise and plosive sounds when speaking into the microphones.

Beamforming noise cancellation mode

The Intelligent Two-microphone System utilizes the omni-directional microphones, analyzing phase differences from sound sources. Using our unique Audio Beamforming algorithms, the DS-9100 suppresses sound from specific directions, reducing noise from the back and sides significantly, focusing on the speaker during dictation. This dramatically improves sound quality for speech recognition, even in challenging environments.

Dictation mode

For classic dictation of your notes or reports, the main microphone will be recording in an omni-directionality mode so that the recorder can be held in various positions.

Conference mode

Regardless of where the person speaking is located or the direction of speech, you can clearly capture the information.

Supported audio formats

The DSS format promises effective compression without compromising quality in digital voice capture. . The digital speech standard (DSS) allows for quick file editing (insert, overwrite, append, erase/cut) and uses meta information (index, verbal comments, worktypes, etc.) to facilitate collaboration and automatic processing. PCM format, with its minimal compression, ensures exceptional quality as well as compatibility with a variety of playback tools. Simultaneously, the widely utilized MP3 format serves as an excellent choice for storing consumer audio and enables easy transfer/playback of music on digital audio players.
