The WS‑852 digital voice recorder is a true master at note‑taking. Its stereo microphones feature a 90° layout to capture superb stereo sound with every recording – whether a school lecture or a business meeting. If the speaker is talking softly, this audio recorder’s Intelligent Auto mode increases the input level for easier listening with an even level of volume.
