Deity PR-2 User Guide | Features & Specs

In this video, we walk you through the Deity PR-2 and the peripherals launching alongside it. Whether you are recording in the field or on a studio set, Deity has the solution to your shooting needs.

The Deity PR-2 Pocket Recorder comes equipped with a locking 3.5mm stereo mic / stereo line input. This feature allows for versatility in audio recording, which is essential for capturing sound in a variety of settings, such as tapping a mixing board for a feed at a wedding, directly recording a lavalier microphone, or even mounting it to a 3.5mm video mic for a portable shotgun setup.

The PR-2 pocket recorder supports 24-bit and 32-bit float recording formats, which means that you can always achieve perfect gain staging. The 32-bit float is an excellent feature that ensures that you won't clip your audio, even if you record too hot. This feature is especially handy if you're recording in a live setting where you don't have the luxury of being able to monitor your levels constantly.

The PR-2 Pocket Recorder can wirelessly sync timecode from the Deity TC-1 timecode generator boxes, which is a great feature for easily adding timecode metadata to your WAV files. This will allow your audio to be synced up in post to your video footage more easily and significantly quicker, saving you time and money. Additionally, the PR-2 is remote-controlled via the Sidus Audio™ app, which allows for every setting to be adjusted from up to 250ft away. This feature is especially useful if you need to make changes to your recording setup quickly from a long distance.

Well done Deity! This looks like an excellent product. 😄

[ExpeditionsInLight]

Yeah, been waiting for this one. Love the accessories too. Ordering soon...

[FunnyGuyTimmy]

You guys should do a series of videos called something like "To It's Limits" where you bring filmmakers in and they try to push a device to it's absolute max before it gives out, breaks, or quality drops off.

Do you have devices that can record 32 bit float stereo? I want to use it in a binaural setup without worrying about

[AaronOverEverything]

I've gotta get my hands on the PR-2 for review! I LOVE using my rode wireless go ii as a field recorder. This thing is that on steroids.

[kiesercine]

Can’t wait! When will this be available to us in the rest of the world?

[swift-t]

Can you monitor via Bluetooth while it’s recording? or only before it starts recording?

[xarisathos]

Hi there. I own a THEOS Digital Wireless system for two speakers, feeding them into a Lumix S5IIX using the 4-channel XLR-1 accessory via the provided 3.5mm-XLR cables. I also own three TC-1 units, with one feeding the 4th channel of the S5IIX's video file with audio timecode from a TC-1. I want the PR-2 to record audio from the facility's console, but it needs to be time-synced with the rest of my setup. What's the proper workflow and what accessories do I need to get XLR audio from the console in 32-bit mono with audio timecode? I am a bit confused. Thank you.

[steveduncan]

Is there any way to get it to give each recording a unique filename? Like putting the date in the filename?

[danielbarrocas]

If I purchase the Deity PR-2 Stereo Pocket Recorder Global Version in Europe and subsequently use them with the app in the U.S. will the monitoring functions be disabled???

[ThePhillySportsJawn]

Can you monitor audio while recording through the app?

[mauriciolee]

Thank Andrew for this INFORMATIVE vide.

I love my PR2's. 3 things I wish could be changed though. I've had a few instances where the record button has been activated in the talent's pocket. Luckily it was turned on by accident but never turned off by accident while I needed to be recording. Another issue is the belt clip. It is very hard to open and put on anything other than a hard leather belt. I feel like a hinged spring belt clip with a guard that wraps around the front to cover the record button would solve both issues. The other problem I've had is with the lav clips. It is very easy for the mic cord to get pulled out of the lav clip. On a recent shoot this happened and it ruined a take. It would also be great to have a less expensive package of these packs that doesn't include the lav mics. I think many of us already have a pile of decent lav mics that will work great with the PR2.

Amazing product! I hope that Deity make a recorder & transmitter version of this device and a reciber with hotshoe digital connection to Sony. (Edit: I know this is a Tascam direct Anwer for pro Weddings and online Clases, but it will be nice have 32bit float recording, transmitting and timecode at same time (it’s stereo so you can make it happen))

[pastorcharles]

New to the world of audio here. Could this be used as a wireless mic if there was some kind of pairing receiver? Or is this really meant only for recording? Thanks!

[jumberbolkvadze]

Hello. A question here about using batteries. Should it only be from the Deity brand? Is it not possible to use from another brand? Thanks

[brunocannavina]

Insane!! correct me if I'm wrong, when you connect it to the camera to have security audio, can you have timecode on one of the two channels as well? that would be great!

[AnthonyMoreschi]

I would love to see an actual user guide that shows how to set up and these in different scenarios.

[NachoDotMP]

Excited to add this to the kit. Will it work with the V-Link cable or any female XLR to 3.5mm cable for my shotgun mic with a battery that has phantom power? Or would waiting for the DLTX be my option? Great products and keep it up!

[timosariwating]

Is the LTC 3v only used for Jam Syncing? Or is it able to put out a timecode signal on the left channel to the mic input on the camera?
Like the A-Out Mode on my TC-1.
