Deity’s New PR-2ii Pocket Recorder Could Be the Perfect Back-Up for Your Back-Up

Not gonna lie, I love this pitch of a “back-up for your back-up,” because there’s no terror greater than when your first and second recording options on a shoot both fail. And yes, while audio isn’t always everyone’s primary concern, it can be make-or-break for many projects.

If you want a true back-up, back-up option for recording audio that is still high-quality and usable, this new solution from Deity, an update to its previous PR-2 pocket recorder, looks to be quite promising with 32-bit float audio without the risk of RF interference or dropouts associated with wireless microphone systems.

Let’s check it out.

The Deity PR-2ii Pocket Recorder

Designed as a wearable-first recorder tailored for the working videographer, small crews, or on-the-run content creators who simply cannot afford to lose audio due to wireless signal issues or other causes, this new Deity PR-2ii Pocket Recorder combines a nice mix of 32-bit float recording technology, a new cleaner dual-ADC preamp, 20+ hours of battery life, wired and wireless timecode, and Sidus Audio control in a tiny and easy-to-use audio option.

Small enough to be worn by talent, planted inside a vehicle, or placed somewhere the crew cannot easily reach, this new PR-2ii Pocket Recorder will also come with an included Avora lavalier microphone that can easily be attached to your subject and capture 32-bit float audio without the risk of RF interference or dropouts associated with wireless microphone systems.

The PR-2ii Pocket Recorder will also come equipped with a locking 3.5mm stereo mic/line input that will allow users to capture audio in a variety of settings, whether taking a feed from a mixing board at a wedding, recording with a lavalier microphone, or connecting a 3.5mm video microphone for a portable shotgun setup.
