    Why is noise audible through the Olympus LS-100 Voice Recorder's recording monitor?
    • M
      Michael KaufmanSep 6, 2025
      Noise is audible through the recording monitor of your Olympus Voice Recorder because acoustic feedback is occurring. When the built-in speaker amps and the like are connected, there is a risk that audio feedback will occur while recording. It is recommended that you use headphones for the recording monitor and perform adjustments, such as further distancing the headphones from the microphone, and not pointing the headphones at the microphone.
