Support for MP3 recording at both 128kbps and 192kbps
In addition to WAV (BWF) format files, recording and playback of MP3 files is now supported. This enables literally days of audio to be recorded on a single microSD card.
Level meters are now active during both recording and playback
Level meters were previously active only during input monitoring. With V2.00 they are live during recording and playback as well.
Level selection with dual recording function added
The dual recording function enables simultaneous creation of a backup "safety recording" at a lower level. Previously, this backup track was fixed at -6 dB lower than the main track. A new option of -12 dB now been added.
POLY file dual recording
POLY file mode can be used to record a mono sound source input as a stereo file. V2.00 also supports dual recording when in this mode.
Overall performance improvements
Overall performance has been enhanced, and microSD card writing/processing has been improved.
Wearable audio recorder with lavalier mic
The DR-10L is compact - fitting in the palm of the hand and lightweight at 51 grams. Ideal for use as an invisible backup recorder at film shooting, interviews, stage performances and so on. Durable belt clip allows several options for use depending on the situation, for example you can attach the unit to belt and hide with jacket, still keep the unit not noticeable.
Simple and easy setup
Dedicated lavalier microphone is included, that is a perfect match with recorder unit. The lavalier microphone captures wide range of sound level with sensitivity of -42dBV/Pa, and 115dB SPL maximum input sound pressure. A few settings on the simple panel needed to start recording, and screw lock connection allows secure application.
Long battery life with an AAA battery
DR-10L is powered by an AAA battery that runs approximately 10 hours straight (with alkaline battery)*, that can stand all-day-long shooting with less concern for changing battery.
Designed to capture high-quality audio at 44.1kHz/48kHz, 16/24-bit. Perfect for television, film and stage performances - as well as lectures and other professional recording applications. Records in WAV/BWF recording format, selectable from mono or poly (stereo file with the same data on both left and right channels).
Designed to provide reliable recording in the field - with attention to quick device setting and post production needs
The recording switch uses a sliding mechanism. This prevents misoperation from accidentally pressing a button. In addition, the hold function can prevent recording from being stopped by accidental contact with a button.
Many times, there is only one chance to get the desired audio. This unit has functions to prevent issues related to recording level settings - including a dual recording function that allows you to set the recording level as high as possible while simultaneously recording a backup track at a lower level.
In addition, this unit has an automatic gain control function that adjusts the input level to match the input volume. There is also a limiter function.
This unit has a built-in clock and supports BWF audio files that have time information added to them. This feature is helpful for searching and editing recorded audio files
Even though this unit is compact, it can play back recorded files. You can also connect headphones to check recorded data right away, and to monitor the input during recording.
