Olympus LS-3 Discontinued In Australia - Possibly Replaced By LS-12 & LS-14

22 November, 2012

For any customer who has called and spoken to us over the last year looking for a great quality meeting recorder or music recorder you will know just how much we evangelised the LS-3. This was one superb little package which covered just about all audio recording bases. Well today our last LS-3 left the office never to be replaced, Olympus notified us earlier this week that the LS-3 was no more.

Have to admit we were surprised, such a great recorder why would it be End Of Lifed? The answer lied in a clue in a blog post from Olympus America last month. The Olympus LS-12 and Olympus LS-14, two brand new linear PCM music recorders and our gut feeling is that this duo is heading down under as the LS-3 replacement. No official confirmation from Olympus Imaging Australia yet but as soon as we hear we will update you. We would expect the LS-12 and LS-14 to grace our shores in early 2013 so watch this space.

In the meantime, for those looking for a top notch meeting, focus group or interview recorder grab yourselves the Olympus DM-3 and never miss a word.
