In this episode we have a look at DEITY’s new PR-2 body pack audio recorder! This tiny 32-bit float recorder has a unique feature set that includes both 24-bit and 32-bit float recording options, inbuilt timecode generation, and ultra-long battery life. In this video we’ll test out each of these features as well as compare the PR-2’s sound quality and functionality to similar recorders on the market. Let’s take a closer look and listen!
