Digital camera reviews of Olympus TP-7 Telephone Recording Device
Digital camera Review: Beware of loud static in your recordings from cellular interference!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this product thinking it would answer my needs for recording interviews conducted by cell phone.
However, after plugging the device into my Olympus digital voice recorder and doing a test run, I realized a major flaw. The recording was full of cell phone interference and was basically not listenable. It was the same sort of buzzing/static you often hear if your cell phone is in use near computer speakers.
It appears that this device offers no shielding from this electromagnetic interference. Considering that it was made to be used with cell phones, this is an enormous design flaw. From what I understand, this interference is present on all GSM phones and it definitely is present on my AT&T Blackberry.
A major letdown and I will be returning the product as a result. Hopefully I can find another recording option for use with cell phones.
