DeityPR2 Pocket Recorder with Lavalier Mic,Sidus Audio APP Control,32-bit Float Professional with Timecode, US Version

This is the smallest recorder I own, but it still performs as good as the bigger ones. The 5V plugin power allows me to run my DPA 4061 without a battery box; just a microdot to 3.5mm cable. The app works seamlessly with my iPhone 15 and having a locking 3.5mm jack makes recording in a low profile situation much less stressful.

The first thing that should be said about this pocket recorder is that it includes Deity’s highly regarded W.Lav pro microphone. That lavalier mic alone accounts for half the value here. It’s a great omnidirectional mic allowing for consistent levels and clear reproduction, even outdoors. It’s dustproof and waterproof and delivers incredible sound.The recorder is also meant for pro recording, although advanced hobbyists will find a lot to enjoy here, too. It is really quite small and can indeed fit in a pocket, making this one of the most portable recorders around. The mic plugs directly into the recorder, eliminating RF interference and dropouts to deliver clear 24-bit (mono/stereo) and 32-bit (mono) audio. The unit runs for up to 30 hours on two AA batteries (even though it says C batteries at one point in the product description). I’ve been using rechargeable AA batteries and replace them after each recording session and have never needed to go more than four hours or so. I haven’t yet done a stress test on maximum battery life. But I can’t imagine ever recording for more than just a few hours at a time.This unit can be controlled remotely (via Bluetooth) with the Sidus Audio app. It includes a belt clip holster and records on microSD cards (one 32GB card is included, but you’ll probably want to replace that with a 128 GB card).

As I stated in the title, this mic is a tad bit complicated for beginner content creators such as myself. Lately I have been upgrading some of my studio gear, so that I can produce better quality video and one big piece of the puzzle is audio. That's why I decided to get this.The build quality is great. It comes with a few different accessories like a plastic belt clip, lavalier mic, power cord and a USB-C adapter. It also came with 2 AA batteries. It has a easy to read screen. One thing that I like is its small compact size.When it comes to the sound quality, It seems to be pretty decent. I usually film videos on the side after I get off work from my full time job so I really haven't had much time to play around with it but what little time that I have used it everything seems to be working great. I personally think that this is a good addition to my video production equipment.

The media could not be loaded. I absolutely LOVE this pocket recorder because it delivers pro grade performance and features that are in a class by itself.One of my favorite things is that it features true 32-bit float recording, so you never have to worry about setting the gain too high or too low. There aren't many pocket sized recorders in this price range that support 32-bit float, and of the ones that do, they lack features like a display and menu to control settings, making them harder to configure in the field without relying on an App. That said, there is an outstanding App for this system that lets you work with literally dozens of devices at the same time.Another feature I LOVE is that it also features real TIMECODE, so you can jam sync TimeCode into other devices to ensure they all have the same frame accurate time. To make this work, you can configure the output on the headphone/monitor jack to provide a TC signal that most prograde cameras have. I plugged mine into four of my Blackmagic cameras and they all picked up the signal and worked perfectly.I like the fact that you can use most industry standard mics, but the package already includes a high quality lav mic which has a threaded connector to ensure that it doesn't fall out, which is another important prograde feature. Another prograde feature I love is that you can lock the controls by triple tapping the side button just in case the person you are recording accidentally hits a button that stops the recording. This is super important.I've read that this system not only sends timecode, but can receive it, which is definitely something I haven't seen from other devices in this size and price range. One thing I can say is that timecode can really speed up editing when you have either multiple cameras or multiple mics.

This audio recorder has been great for capturing high quality audio on the go. I like the app control which allows me to adjust settings remotely making it super convenient during shoots. The compact size makes it easy to carry, and it captures clear crisp sound. It has been a solid reliable choice for recording audio.

The media could not be loaded. I really wanted this to work but I'm having to return this PR-2 recorder. Standard batteries AA don't fit in the unit without forcing them into the unit, pushing the plastic out on the sides. I tried the deity batteries that came with the unit, Duracell, Energizer Max, and Rayovac batteries. None of them fit well. I don't know if this was just manufactured defective unit or what. I have the TC-1's and they work great. and I was really looking forward to adding this to my gear. but I decided to go with the Tascam DR 10L Pro instead. I don't need to be on a job and have battery issues when time counts.

I have had old video tapes of the family telling stories that have visually started to breakdown but the audio was fine. I needed to find something small and able to keep track of where and when the audio was different people so i could edit it ( I am a rookie at this) and interject information. This functions perfectly for my needs. It is small and has so much more to offer than what I asked of it. I have taken a month working with this to familiarize my self and I would say it seems easy to use but I am still learning the fundamentals. I searched for something equivalent to this and found the price point to be very reasonable.
