Edirol R-44 Compact Solid-State 4-Channel Field Recorder

The Edirol R-44 4-channel Portable Recorder. A compact, solid state, four channel field recorder.

Uses SD or large capacity SDHC cards as the storage media enabling quiet and reliable recording for a variety of professional audio needs.

The Edirol R-44 is designed for professional use within a very conveniently sized package. Capture up to 4 channels of uncompressed audio with selectable bit depths (16-bit or 24-bit) and sampling frequencies (44.1kHz/48kHz/88.2kHz/96kHz). R-44 employs SD cards or large capacity SDHC cards as the recording media. No moving parts enables the most silent and reliable operation possible. Although the Edirol R44 is compact, all the necessary functions are included. Built-in high quality microphones and speakers make recording and monitoring without external devices possible. An on-board limiter helps suppress sudden peaks in sound from an input source. A low-cut filter is included to help prevent things like wind noise or mic handling noise. Studio class effects such as 3-Band EQ, 6-Band GEQ, Enhancer or DeEsser can be used as tools to greatly improve audio quality.

Effects can be applied while recording or simply for monitoring/playback. A clever Pre-Record function buffers input signals for a certain amount of time. When the REC button is pressed, the material from the previous few seconds (selectable) is included. This also helps reduce sound bites at the beginning of a recording by not having to start the recorder too early. The R44 has combo input jacks (4) that support the connection of both XLR and 1/4 inch plugs. XLR inputs are equipped with phantom power. Eleven steps of input sensitivity enable the connection of various devices with a variety of inputs levels from microphones to musical instruments. High quality analog circuitry in the preamp ensures superior recording results. The R-44 can be mounted on computers with a simple USB 2.0 connection. It is seen as a USB storage device on a computer. You can copy data back and forth with a simple drag & drop operation.
