Lectrosonics MTCR Miniature Time Code Recorder
The Lectrosonics MTCR travels with the subject when distance rules out a wireless mic, recording broadcast wave files with timecode in a miniature housing small enough to hide in costumes.
Jam timecode at the start of the production day through the 5-pin LEMO connector, and the recording drops into place in a video clip’s timeline. The .wav (BWF) files open in audio and video editing software. It also works as a plant mic for environmental or location sound. Tethered to a camera, it captures a backup recording.
The TA5M input takes mic or line level and supplies servo bias for 2 V and 4 V electret lavaliers wired for Lectrosonics transmitters. Audio records at 24-bit, 48 kHz to a microSDHC card under a flexible flap, and a 3.5 mm TRS jack feeds headphones.
Setup runs through the keypad and LCD. The housing is machined from a solid aluminum billet with a hinged aluminum battery compartment, and one AAA lithium battery runs it for about 6.5 hours.
