Der OLYPMPUS Pearlcorder L400 aus den 1980er Jahren war einer der kleinsten kommerziellen Rekorder auf Magnetbandbasis seiner Zeit (und vielleicht überhaupt). Dank Autorverse konnten auch längere Gespräche ohne Unterbrechung oder Bedienaktion aufgezeichnet werden. Dies prädestinierte ihn in Verbindung mit einer guten Tonqualität zum Einsatz durch private Ermittler – und vielleicht auch weniger private, wenn sie die auf kommerziell erhältliche Ausrüstung zurückgreifen wollten.

The OLYPMPUS Pearlcorder L400 from the 1980s was one of the smallest commercial tape recorders of its time (and maybe ever). Thanks to auto reverse, even longer conversations could be recorded without interruption or operator action. This, combined with good sound quality, predestined it for use by private investigators - and perhaps less private ones, if they preferred to use commercially available equipment.

I may show you the Microcassette in combination with the Capstan-Drive from an analogous Voice Recorder.
The Microcassette was also used in a Answering Machine.
The Production has terminated severeal years ago.

I've known Kyle since 1999. Haven't seen him in about 5 years. As you can see, he's a traveler.
When I used Nikon pro bodies such as the D3, D3s or D4, I took advantage of the built-in sound recorder to record notes pertaining to the photos I took.
When I decided to forego those enormous beasts and use regular DSLRs such as the D810 and D850, I lost the benefit of the built-in recorder and bought this little Sony machine (ICD-PX333 I believe it’s called) which does the job quite well, and is even capable of doing tons of other things I don’t use. What matters is that it is light and fits within a small leather case that I slide onto my belt, so that it is always at my side while on photo trips.
Moving to mirrorless has unfortunately not (yet) improved the situation, as the ability to record voice memos linked to photos has been brought to the Nikon Z6, but (to everyone’s surprise and wonderment) not to the Z7/Z7 II, which were the flagship models until the very recent announcement of the Z9...!
Composite shot made up of 7 focus-stacked exposures, set automatically using the built-in function on the D850 camera. Stack processed with Helicon Focus. Micro-Nikkor 105mm ƒ/2.8 macro lens.
I shot this picture onboard the PH-BUI shortly before she was sold to Southern Air as N-746SA in 2003. I don,t think she flies anymore. (Being built in 1975)
By the way, flight data and voice recorders are always situated in the tail of the airplane, you will appreciate why.
If you see a rectangular flag painted on the fuselage near the tail section, that is the exact spot (for a reason) where the recorders are situated inside the hull.
Talking about safety, in NATO planes with a closed hull
(windows always weaken the integrity of the structure they are in) all the seats are turned around 180 degrees to face the tail.
That way the High Brass onboard has a better chance to survive a moderate crash, because scientists found out that seats opposite to the flight direction, give a 40% better chance to the people sitting on them, to walk away and live another day.
Physiology.
All your organs, heart, liver, lungs etc. are loose in your body, embedded in flesh, muscle and fat, only connected by tubing and therefore are subject to Newtons law on impact.
Your head and neck are better protected sitting opposite to the flight direction as well, your neck being the weakest link here, because your head is relatively heavy. (appprox. 8% of your total body weight, so including your head)
Your skeleton alone makes out for about 15% of your total weight, but in this case your head is not just the skull.
By the way, ever thought about the fact that a grown human male has 100.000km (60.000 miles) of tubing (veins/arteries/bloodvessels) in his body ?
That is 2.5 times the circumference of the earth !
Mind you, we are mainly talking capillaries here, being 5 to 10 microns in width.
His heart will pump the blood through his veins with a speed of 11 km/h, and per 24 hours the total amount of blood that is pumped around will be the equivalent of 7000 ltrs, given an average amount of blood volume and heart muscle.
You do the math for a whole year !
Logic. (not)
It's a funny thing though.
We have customers who demand that their expensive cargo is flown by airplanes, not older then 5 years.
Mind you, we are talking cargo here, not people.
But you, going on vacation with your beloved spouse and children, have no problem to climb onboard a 25 year old airplane at all.
Human logic is hard to understand sometimes.
Another example ; It is called : " triscaideca phobia "
In practically no airplane in the western world, you will find a seat row with number 13.
Only British Airways and EasyJet have both feet on the ground whilst flying.
They do have row 13 in their airplanes (lol)
Why ?
Simply, because it's there . .
These just got printed to pass out at NAMM this weekend. Turned out nice i think.

The European 1GB edition of the Sandisk Sansa Express USB MP3 player, firmware version 01.01.12e, is shown. The manual talks about certain of these devices having an FM radio - for some reason, the European edition doesn't ship with this feature, while the American edition does.
I did some digging and discovered that all the devices have the FM radio hardware, but you'll need to flash the European firmware, replacing it with the American version, to enable the feature. Download the American version of firmware.
Instructions:
1. Download the firmware and unzip the files to your Desktop.
2. You'll see a file called "StMp3Rec.sys", move this to "C:\windows\system32\drivers\". If you already have this driver, no need to overwrite the files.
3. Put the player in USB mode as follows:
a) Right-click on My Computer then select Properties.
b) In the Hardware tab, click the Device Manager button.
c) Find the Sansa Express device. (It should be in the Windows Portable Devices category)
d) Right click on the device then select Update Driver.
e) Choose "No...", "Install from a list...", and then "Don't search...".
f) Check the "Show Compatible Hardware" checkbox if it is unchecked.
g) Select "USB Mass Storage Device", click Next, and then click Finish.
4. My device showed up as "G:" in Windows Explorer.
5. Copy everything from the device to a backup folder on your "C:".
Back up everything on your device. The firmware update may delete your files!
6. Open the firmware folder and double click on "SansaExpressUpdater.exe" - a box with a large yellow warning symbol and a progress bar will show the firmware update being applied.
7. Close the updater box once finished and unplug the device from the USB port.
8. Power on the device and check the firmware version in the player's settings.
I just launched my first iPhone app!
It's called NoteDetector.
The site should be 100% in a few days.
I wasn't expecting the app store to approve it so quickly or it would have been done by now.
But im really excited about it so please tell me what you think.

Yet another in a long series of pieces that I'd conceived of long ago but just never got around to making until just recently. This image is not based on any single digital voice recorder, but was rather an excuse to study the design and drawing that comprises the visuals of those kinds of handheld devices...all while making a fucking hilarious art object.
I seriously busted out laughing when I first opened this picture up in Photoshop. It looked like something out of a catalog. LOVE IT

I bought this voice recorder, used, from a thrift store in Texas about 15 years ago with my hard-won 12 dollars. I remember being upset that I couldn't haggle my way to a better deal. I did make a mental note of my feeling of real need for the recorder - or, more accurately, what I could do with the recorder & how that far outweighed any want of a price-wrangling victory.
I had recently made a hasty exodus from NYC - sold everything I owned except for my guitar, leather jacket and what was left in my backpack. I was feeling numb like a stranger. Through my slacker daze the desire to chronicle audible inspirations was partly a new twist on an old habit.
Having the recorder proved to be pretty useful. The most valuable thing I created with it was the feeling of possibility.
The personal voice recorder was a simple new tool for me. It allowed me to capture ideas and compositions at their first inkling. I could keep it in my pocket. I would eventually come to write hundreds of pieces of music using it and other recorders like it over the years before moving on to computers. The use of it - while living out of a backpack - encouraged a certain work ethic & discipline. A workflow emerged that allowed me to make sense of rough-hewn ideas.
The modest & empirical methods I employ today on much more sophisticated computer audio & video recording systems are significantly informed by that evolutionary step in my creative process.
At that time the voice recorder was the best tool I could find & afford. It served me well & provided me a means to create - and for that i am grateful. I feel as though I've been reaching my whole life for perfect tools that would allow me to express myself.
Hope is what was created via this technological object.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my mom. First I investigated the iPod Shuffle, but it was way too overpriced! This wonderful little player however was amazingly priced, and featured:
* 1GB of storage (upgradeable via a MicroSD memory card slot)
* 2-colour OLED screen
* FM Radio (and the ability to record from the radio to .wav file)
* Voice recorder
* USB connection, without being tied down to any particular music software.
* Standard 3.5mm earphone socket
* Neck-strap

I started doing work for my dissertation today!
I loaned a voice recorder from the SLLF and typed out an information form and consent form for my project before printing a bunch of them out... Checked the batteries for my tape-recorder and MP3 player, and then got to it!
Digital voice recorder sitting on top of a digital projector, with a painted muslin in the background. Screen graphics added in post.
I built the engine with foam board, poster board, paper bags, glue, and paint. The straps are duct-tape. Thomas' headlight is a painted LED flashlight. I also built in a sound record/playback board and speaker so that the costume could play the Thomas and Friends theme.
15" Macbook Pro, 1st Generation iPod Touch, Verizon Wireless/LG Voyager, RCA VR5220-A, and (out of frame) pencils.
The new black model is even better designed than my worn but still reliable old model. It soon became so useful and easy to put in my pocket that I always carried it with me (partly as a pocket watch).
At first the old model was mostly a neat new gismo I wanted to see if I'd use and find helpful for anything. Now I use it to remind myself of things to photograph, of details about pictures just taken, of things read, of things I've been told, of groceries to buy, of books to order, of interesting things seen, of titles of music on the radio that I like, of ideas about what to include in email letters I'll be writing, of ideas for other writing, of German words (which I'm learning to read), etc.
The old VN-90 holds about 33 minutes voice notes at the highest quality setting, in up to 99 files (in mostly 2 folders), recorded with only a high sensitivity microphone that lets nearby traffic drown out voices. The newer VN-2000 holds over 7 hours of the highest quality voice recordings in up to 400 files (in 4 folders) and has also a lower sensitivity mike that eliminates most background noise. The VN-2000 also allows indexing within files, has an option for the microphone to be voice activated, and has better designed buttons, display, and programming (its big folded sheet of instructions is clearly written and illustrated). Even though the newer model is much better you probably won't be surprised to hear that it is cheaper than the old model was when I bought it several years ago.
(Years ago after I got tired of wearing a wristwatch or carrying a traditional pocket watch, this digital voice recorder also became my time piece. The new model has even has yet more sophisticated alarm options, but I don't expect to use them).
No, I don't sell these and don't have any stock or connection with Olympus. There could well be better and cheaper digital voice recorders from other companies -- I don't know and haven't checked into that at all. This just happened to be what I bought and liked.

1990s
Olympus created the Microcassette format in 1969. The format was primarily used for recording voice, and became a standard for dictaphone machines. Its variable speed allowed for recording up to three hours on a single 90-minute microcassette. Later models of the S711 were available in ‘champagne gold’ or blue, and had a slightly more swooping, tapered design. The Museum’s S711 came with an opened microcassette still inside; we have yet to listen to its contents.
