The
R-4 Pro shares the R-4's rugged construction, robust feature set
and great sound quality, but the R-4 Pro also includes AES/EBU
support, SMPTE time code and superb electronics. Record up to
four channels at 24-bit 96KHz and monitor each channel discretely.
The durable DC input jack allows for industry-standard battery
packs to extend your record time. Its 80GB hard drive will store
up to 125 hours of high quality audio. You can plug in any standard
USB drive and enjoy fast back-ups of your projects. Like the R-4,
the R-4 Pro has on-board effects and WAV editing features. Geared
for pro videographers and recordists, the R-4 Pro delivers professional
sound and features in a package that everyone can afford. The
R-4 Pro is a part of our series of audio field recorders.
Why
are 4-channels of audio better than 2-channels?
- Capture
more ambient sound at any shoot for an overall more convincing
soundscape.
- Place mics
on each participant in conferences, panels, reporters, etc.
- Redundancy
or backup in case of camera mic noise or drop out.
- Simplify
wedding shoots with a mic on the bride, groom, officiator and
a mic for ambient sound.
- Video editing
environments now support multi-channel audio as standard.
Master
or Slave Sync with SMPTE Time Code
The R-4 Pro accepts SMPTE time code which enables it to slave to
video cameras or VTRs. Four channels of high quality audio can be
fully synchronized with video. In addition, the R-4 Pro can also
act as the master, sending out time code to slave devices.
AES/EBU
Input/Output
The R-4 Pro is equipped with XLR style AES/EBU digital Input and
Output.
Instant
Backup via USB 2.0
The USB host terminal of R-4 Pro enables high speed and instant
backup of recorded data to affordable and easy obtainable media
like Flash Memory, Memory Cards via card reader or HDD storage.
Easy and high speed duplication of recorded data improves production
workflow across multiple locations.
DC Input
for External Battery Power Supply
The R-4 Pro is equipped with a 4-pin XLR type battery power input.
This enables power supplies from industry standard battery manufacturers
for video cameras such as Anton-Bauer, etc. Additional flexibility
in power options include AA type battery power or AC power (via
adapter).
Individual
Monitoring of 4 channels
Individual monitoring of all channels is enabled via the four
analog outputs. This allows precise monitoring of all recorded
audio.
Extended
Recording with 80GB Hard Disk Drive
Equipped with a 80GB hard disk drive, the R-4 Pro can record a
stereo audio file for approximately116 hours at 16bit/44.1kHz/
106 hours at 16bit/48kHz, 70 hours at 24bit/48kHz, 34 hours at
16bit/96kHz, and 30 hours at 24bit/96kHz.
Superior
24-bit/96-kHz Linear Recording
Totally uncompressed recording assures outstanding sound quality.
Choose 16-bit or 24-bit quantization and a sampling rate of 44.1
kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2kHz, 96 kHz or 192kHz. Save data as WAV files.
Simultaneous
4-Channel Recording
The 4 XLR/Phone combo jacks come with switchable phantom power
and give you a choice of MONO, STEREO, STEREO X2, or 4CH recording.
Digital input/output is also provided.
Four-channel recording gives you exceptional flexibility. For
example, you can use mics to capture the ambience of a performance
hall while using line input to record the performance itself.
Or you can record at several different level settings simultaneously.
On-Board
Limiter
The built-in Limiter helps deliver a stable and reliable recording
free of clipped noise from sudden input surges.
Built-In
Nondirectional Stereo Microphones
The R-4 Pro's omnidirectional, back electret condenser microphones
offer superb transient characteristics and vibration resistance.
Pre-Recording
Function
When the REC button is pressed, the current material is appended
to a buffer that contains recorded material from a few seconds
earlier. This helps prevent missed recording opportunities or
sound bites at the beginning of a recording.
Five High-Quality
Effects
The R-4 Pro lets you tailor the sound during both recording and
playback.
Waveform
Editing Using Only the R-4 Pro
The R-4 Pro is all you need to edit waveforms. Just watch the
waveform on the LCD as you edit. Scrubbing playback with the shuttle
dial lets you set the edit points precisely by sound.
Index Any
Point Instantly
Press the mark button anytime during recording or playback to
mark that point for easy, instant indexing later. With the A-B
repeat function you can set two points and repeatedly play back
the material between them.
Easy Playback
with the Jog Dial
Use the jog dial to fast-forward or rewind at any of seven speed
levels.
Built-In
Stereo Speakers
The R-4 Pro's built-in speakers make it easy to monitor recorded
sound without headphones.
USB 2.0
Terminal Provides a High-Speed Computer Data Link
The USB 2.0 high-speed mode transfers data about 20 times faster
than DAT. You can also use the R-4 Pro as a 80GB storage device.
Edit R-4 Pro files directly from DAWs and other applications.
Advanced
