Deity PR-2 Stereo Pocket Recorder with Lavalier Mic Overview
As an audio professional, you know that having a reliable and portable audio recorder is essential for capturing high-quality recordings on the go. The Deity PR-2 Stereo Pocket Recorder with Lavalier Mic is a small but mighty device that packs a punch with an impressive range of features that make it stand out from the competition.
Versatile Input
The Deity PR-2 Pocket Recorder comes equipped with a locking 3.5mm stereo mic/stereo line input. This feature allows for versatility in audio recording, making it essential for capturing sound in a variety of settings, such as tapping a mixing board for a feed at a wedding, directly recording a lavalier microphone, or even mounting it to a 3.5mm video mic for a portable shotgun setup.
Toggle Switch Functionality
The PR-2 features a toggle switch on the top that allows you to pass the microphone PiP from the output through to the input. This means you can daisy chain the PR-2 with a transmitter, adding recording functionality to any transmitter you might own. Even if the PR-2 is turned off, the transmitter's PiP still passes through to power your lavalier.
High-Quality Recording
The PR-2 pocket recorder supports 24-bit and 32-bit float recording formats, ensuring perfect gain staging. The 32-bit float feature ensures that you won't clip your audio, even if you record too hot, which is especially handy in live settings where monitoring levels constantly isn't feasible.
Wireless Sync and Remote Control
The PR-2 can wirelessly sync timecode from the Deity TC-1 timecode generator boxes, making it easy to add timecode metadata to your WAV files for efficient post-production syncing with video footage. Additionally, the PR-2 is remote-controlled via the Sidus Audio™ app, allowing every setting to be adjusted from up to 250ft away.
Triple-Tap Locking Method
The Deity PR-2 features Deity’s signature triple-tap locking method to prevent accidental stopping of recording when in someone's pocket.
Live Monitoring
The headphone output allows for live monitoring and checking the lavalier sound quality before recording, ensuring high-quality audio capture.
Battery Life
The device runs on 2 AA batteries, providing nearly 30 hours of battery life.
