Detailed voice recordings in all situations

From soft to loud voices at meetings or in seminars, you’ll hear everyone on your audio recording in an even volume with the
WS‑853 digital voice recorder. This high‑quality device uses a built‑in, low‑noise stereo microphone to capture all speakers – and
best of all, its Intelligent Auto mode adjusts the recording level automatically so you don’t miss a thing. At the same time, the Noise
Cancel function cancels out unwanted ambient sound to provide crisper, clearer playback quality. Thanks to the WS‑853’s Simple
Mode, beginners experience simplified use. Yet advanced users don’t miss out: this voice recorder also offers Normal Mode for
more customised audio capture.
