DR-10SG
PCM recorder with integrated shotgun microphone for on-camera use
This model has been discontinued.
The DR-10SG is a combined linear PCM recorder and shotgun microphone that enables high-quality audio for video to be recorded when used with a video-capable DSLR camera. The supercardioid mic is extremely directional, enabling it to capture the sound of a specific subject. The unit can be attached to the camera’s shoe mount, weighs just 110 g and has a compact design, allowing it to be used without hindering camera operation. To match the scene and environment, it has 4 EQ presets, is easy to set up and offers excellent mobility.
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.
