Olympus Professional USB Microphone DR-2000

This SDK version microphone will act like a regular microphone, but the function buttons will not work unless you have software that can do this or you purchase the DSS Player Pro Software which is not included with this SDK Version

The Directrec DR-2000 is a perfect combination of professional features and a simple, portable design. Its convenient button placement, easy slide switch operability and comfortable ergonomics allow you to utilize it for hours of consecutive use, while its durable construction ensures you'll be doing so for years to come. Included DSS Player Pro software helps you automate, streamline, and manage recorded files. A Directrec Configuration Tool in DSS Player Pro allows for easy button customization and other flexible uses.
