STRAIGHTFORWARD EVERYDAY VOICE RECORDING
Capture notes with a slide of the switch
The Olympus VN-541PC is a compact mono voice recorder for reminders, study notes and spoken recordings. Slide the REC switch to begin recording, then use the display and playback controls to find and review your files.
Choose a recording scene
Memo, Talk, Music and Long Play scenes apply preset recording settings and organise files into scene-linked folders. All recordings use WMA format. Long Play offers the longest recording capacity at a lower bitrate; choose the setting that suits the detail you need.
- 4 GB built-in memory
- Built-in mono microphone
- Playback noise cancellation to reduce distracting background sound
- Index marks to help return to useful points in a recording
- Separate 3.5 mm microphone input and earphone output
Transfer recordings to a computer
Connect the supplied Micro-USB cable to a compatible computer to copy and organise your files. Make sure your playback or transcription application supports WMA, particularly when using a Mac.
The VN-541PC runs on two AAA alkaline batteries, making it easy to carry a spare set for longer days of recording.

In the box
VN-541PC recorder, two AAA alkaline batteries, KP29 Micro-USB cable and instructions.
Standalone and computer use
Recording and playback work without a computer. USB file transfer requires a compatible Windows or Mac computer and the supplied Micro-USB data cable. A suitable data adapter is needed for USB-C-only computers.
Published manufacturer compatibility information covers legacy systems and does not establish support for every current Windows or macOS release. Confirm your exact computer setup. VoiceX does not provide Windows 10 support; this is a support policy rather than a claim of hardware incompatibility.
WMA file compatibility
The VN-541PC records WMA files. Your playback or transcription software must support WMA; additional playback software may be needed on a Mac. Ask VoiceX about software for your transcription workflow.
Power and external audio
- Use USB to transfer saved recordings to a computer. Battery power is supplied separately; the USB connection does not charge the batteries.
- Power: two AAA alkaline batteries.
- The separate 3.5 mm microphone input supports compatible plug-in-powered microphones. Confirm the exact microphone model and wiring.
- Use the separate 3.5 mm earphone output for private listening.
Make a test recording before an important session, and check applicable consent and privacy requirements when recording other people.
