Its design and engineering make the WS range a consummate blend of versatility and functionality, conceived to get the job done no matter whether you’re working or playing. At a single glance, it already gets a clear thumbs up - impressing with an ultra-slim body, lightweight build and super-stylish finish. But there is so much more hidden away inside: all WS recorders include music player, calendar search, Scene Select, Index Marks as well as the Noise Cancel feature and offer excellent high-sensitivity stereo sound quality for recording personal notes, meetings or conversations. Besides 4GB of storage capacity, the WS-812 offers linear PCM recording that enables CD-quality sound and an integrated music player for relaxing to your favourite tunes after a hard day of recording. It also has easily as much memory capacity as you will ever need (more than 1000 hours), cutting edge features like Voice Playback, Voice Balancer or Voice Changer plus a super handy integrated USB stick to keep life extra-easy.
