Olympus DR-2200 Directrec USB Microphone Digital Voice Recorder

The Olympus DR-2200 Directrec USB Microphone is part of Olympus' second-generation Directrec series, an enhanced line of three Directrec dictation devices. The DR-2200 offers the perfect combination of great audio reproduction, programmability and ease-of-use in a professional recorder. The new Directrec series significantly improves ergonomics to enhance operability and microphone performance while expanding Olympus' simple, reliable, flexible and secure design concept, by combining it with integration -- boosting productivity to new levels.

The Directrec second generation evolves into a total system solution for IT administrators and systems integrators. Dictating is easy thanks to the strategically placed slide switch on the DR-2200. A durable trackball offers even more intuitive, one-handed operation. The new low-noise directional microphone reduces extraneous sounds and unwanted background noise for high-quality sound recording. This is also one of the keys to the outstanding speech recognition rate when using Dragon speech recognition software. The DR-2200 Directrec recorder is the perfect device to directly record onto your personal computer. Recordings can be played back using the integrated powerful speaker and volume can be instantly adjusted directly on the hand unit.

Olympus DR-2200 Key Features

DR-2200 Included Items:

• Warranty Card
• Instruction Manual

USB Audio Class Compatible

The DR-2200 is USB Audio Class Compatible, so it can be used as a USB microphone or USB speaker when connected to a PC without the need for installing a specialty driver.

True Slide Switch Control

The DR-2200's "true slide switch" is contoured to the thumb for smooth control of record, stop, play and review functions all with the same switch. The intuitively placed slider switch enables one-handed access to the most commonly used functions.

Trackball Mouse Pointing Device

The DR-2200 includes a 360-degree mouse-pointing sensor providing fast, simple operability. The device is highly durable and reliable to help prevent it from breaking, wearing out, or sticking.

Ergonomic Design

The ergonomic design ensures superior operability, sitting comfortably in your hand with its smooth edges. The intuitively placed slider switch enables one-handed access to the most commonly used functions. A triple-color LED screen shows the current recording status and a new trackball allows users to navigate freely on the PC or Mac without having to utilize the computer's mouse. This ensures hassle-free, desk-based dictation -- for hours on end.

Built-In Speaker For Acoustic Playback

The powerful built-in speaker provides hi-fidelity acoustic playback.

Low-Noise Directional Built-in Microphone

The Directrec DR-2200 delivers stunning performance -- a low-noise, directional built-in microphone guarantees ultra-clear dictation recordings.

Five Programmable Buttons

Programmable buttons that speed up reaction time increase the DR-2200's flexibility and reliability. Instead of having more buttons than necessary, the DR-2200 allows users to program the functions they use the most onto one rear button and four designated programmable buttons on the front. The functions include: Index Mark, Insert/Overwrite, Priority, launching an external program and more.

Improved Software Development Kit For System Administrators

The remaining buttons including volume controls can also be fully customized, if required, enabling complete systems integration. An improved Software Development Kit (SDK) makes such productivity-boosting customization possible

Playback Volume Control

Recordings can be played back using the integrated powerful speaker and volume can be instantly adjusted directly on the hand unit.
