      If you are hearing noise during playback on your Olympus Voice Recorder, it could be because the recorder was placed near a cell phone or fluorescent lamp while recording or during playback; try moving the recorder. It may also be that the settings of the connected external microphone do not correspond to those of the recorder. When a microphone not supported by the plug-in power function is connected, turn the [Plug-inPower] setting to [Off].

    Why is the recording level too low on my Olympus Voice Recorder?
    • P
      patrickwhiteheadAug 30, 2025
      If the recording level on your Olympus Voice Recorder is too low, it may be because the recording level has not been adjusted; adjust the recording level and then try recording once more. Another reason may be that the microphone sensitivity is too low; set the microphone sensitivity to [HIGH] mode and try again. This could potentially be because the recording level and output level for the connected external devices are too low; if you cannot record clearly even after adjusting the recording level, then adjust the output level for the connected devices.
