Purchase Now!



The compact yet feature-packed R-4 Pro gives
you a slew of tools to handle most any field recording challenge. You
can record up to four channels at 24-bit 96KHz and monitor each channel
discretely, and edit waveforms on the recorder itself. Its durable DC
input jack allows for industry-standard battery packs to extend your
record time, and its 80GB hard drive will store up to 125 hours of high
quality audio. It offers AES/EBU support, SMPTE time code along with
superb electronics. Its on-board effects let you finely hone your
projects, and you can plug in any standard USB drive for fast back-ups.


Its 4 channels of simultaneous recording open up a whole new world of
recording possibilities that 2 channel recorders can never attain. You
can capture more ambient sound at any shoot for an overall more
convincing soundscape, or place up to four mics on participants in
conferences and panel discussions, or just have the insurance of
redundancy in case of camera mic noise or drop out. Take full control
with the R-4 Pro.

I had a chance to play with this R-4 about a week ago at a studio down in Los Angeles. WOW! Incredible recorder. It's a bit pricey, but it is awesome. I put 6 hours down and didn't even dent the amount of space on the drive. You know what's on my wish list!
