Deity PR-4 Compact Field Recorder
The Deity PR-4 is a compact field recorder with four inputs and six tracks, small enough to mount on a mirrorless camera rig or carry in a light production bag.
Two XLR and 1/4 in combo inputs take a microphone with 48 V phantom power, a line source, or an AES3 or AES42 digital signal. A stereo 3.5 mm input feeds channels 3 and 4. A boom and two wireless lavaliers can run together, each on its own isolated track, beside up to two mix tracks.
Dual-ADC preamps give up to 60 dB of gain, enough for a dynamic podcast microphone without a separate preamp. Files record as 32-bit float at 48, 96, or 192 kHz. Automix manages the active microphones in the mix when several people talk, while every channel keeps its isolated track for post.
The PR-4 records to an internal 64 GB SSD and an SD card at the same time, so the recording still has a backup if the card is lost, corrupted, or formatted.
Timecode comes in as LTC or wireless sync over 2.4 GHz from Deity’s TC-1, TC-SL1, PR-2, and THEOS transmitters. The Sidus Audio app monitors and controls the recorder from a phone or tablet.
An NP-F550 battery in the internal bay runs the PR-4 for about 9.5 hours, and the recorder also runs from USB-C or a 12 to 18 V 4-pin DC input. Over USB-C it works as a two-channel audio interface, and a rear tally light shows when it is rolling.
