In the world of run-and-gun video shooting (which, if we’re being honest, is becoming the norm for most videographers these days), versatility is helpful. Sure, we’d all love large crews and separate teams to handle the different parts of film and video production, but that often isn’t the case.

If you’re a solo creator or small video or podcast team, you’ll likely be handling audio at the same time as you’re setting up your shots for video. Which means you’ll need versatile, easy-to-use, and highly reliable audio for your projects.

Luckily, there are some great products that help with audio for video these days, and there are more coming all the time. The latest high-quality field recorder for video is the new PR-4 from Deity.

Let’s look at the Deity PR-4, a 32-bit float audio recorder with four microphone inputs and six-track recording, all packed into a device small enough to mount directly on your camera.

The Deity PR-4 Field Recorder

Designed for small teams or solo creators, the Deity PR-4 is a compact field recorder tailored for the modern do-it-all filmmaker, videographer, or content creator. Small enough to mount directly on your camera or fit snugly in a small production bag, the Deity PR-4 should pack a punch in terms of versatility, featuring four microphone inputs and six-track recording.

The Deity PR-4 will also feature two XLR inputs and an additional stereo 1/8” TRS input for channels 3 and 4, making it a nice option for those looking to run a boom microphone alongside their multiple wireless lavaliers for all types of interviews, documentaries, weddings, or really any other types of multi-person scenes for your films or other video projects.

The PR-4 will also feature some pretty sophisticated audio recording technologies, including a built-in Automix that automatically manages active microphones, 32-bit float architecture, and dual-ADC microphone preamps to deliver up to 60 dB of clean gain.

No matter if you're recording video or a podcast in the field, the DR-4 keeps the workflow manageable.

Price and Availability

Ideally an option for videographers and hybrid content creators first and foremost, the PR-4 can be used for much more than just those types of professionals. It can work for all types of audio recording needs in a pinch, and it should be quite capable in terms of storage, as it can capture audio simultaneously to both an SD card up to 1 TB and an internal 64GB SSD.​

The PR-4 even offers wireless timecode synchronization and Sidus Audio app control to further streamline your productions by keeping your cameras, slates, and other recorders synced and remotely monitorable.
