          o Compressed (MP3 format): 32–320 kbit/s at 44.1/48 kHz (VBR files can be played but not recorded)

Recording features

    * Built-in cardioid stereo condenser microphone
          o Accepts high sound pressure level
          o Easy setup (AB and XY configuration supported)
          o XY configuration allows mono compatible recordings and high sound localization acuity (lively interviews or field recordings with ambience)
          o Good directivity and channel separation
          o Ideal for live music and field recording, news gathering, music training etc.
    * Stereo XLR/TRS mic/line input with phantom power (supports +4 dB line level input)
    * 4-track recording
          o Create two stereo recordings from the built-in microphones and the external mic/line input at the same time
          o Create two stereo recordings with different level settings from the built-in microphones or external mic/line input at the same time
          o Non-destructive overdub: Record a mix of one or two stereo playback files and a stereo input signal to a new stereo file or record only the input signal while playing back one stereo file
          o Mixdown feature with level, pan and effect controls for each track (creates a stereo track from a 4-track recording)
    * MS decoder for recordings created with mid/side microphone configuration
    * Switchable low-cut filter (40 Hz, 80 Hz, 120 Hz)
    * Manual or automatic recording level setting
    * Three Options of automatic level control during recording: Peak Reduction, Auto Level, Limiter

Playback features

    * Automatic level align allows to increase the perceived overall sound pressure during playback
    * Variable speed audition to change the playback tempo without affecting the key (50–150 %)
    * Repeat function (repeat one track or all tracks)
    * Loop function (repeat a marked section)
    * Playlist feature to play files in a certain order

Other innovations like the new Scene Dial make it easier than ever to capture great-sounding recordings and share them online. A set of stereo condenser microphones is arranged in true XY pattern for ideal stereo imaging. The eight-position Scene Dial selects recording settings for typical situations, or can be set to full manual for greater control. Included in the DR-22WL is a Wi-Fi function for controlling its transport and transferring files to a smartphone or computer. A free app for iOS and Android controls the transport and transfers files for instant upload. For a recording beginner or experienced user looking for a great-sounding, portable recorder with Wi-Fi, the DR-22WL is the only choice.

Pedigree Portable Field Recorder

The FR-2LE is a compact field memory recorder for professional use offering 24bit 96kHz recording in the industry standard BWF file format. It has a good pedigree given Fostex's previous success with their DAT portables (PD2 & PD4) and latterly with their solid state FR-2 and its optional full timecode facility.

Now with their latest FR-2LE, they have an even more compact offering for high quality field recording, interview recording (MP3 mode also available), or simple film/broadcast audio recording.

The FR-2LE is equipped with two professional phantom powered XLR microphone inputs (XLR-Jack combo) complete with precise control over the recording level. It features a 1 take = 1 file recording system which eliminates overwrites and its 2 second ʽpre-recordʼ buffer means there should never be a missed take or lost soundbite. Thereʼs also an MP3 mode and built-in stereo microphone.

Feature rich, elegant in operation, good pedigree - the new FR-2LE looks assured of success.

MAIN FEATURES

• Long Battery Life

The FR-2LE can run for up to 4 hours on 4 x AA Alkaline batteries and up to 8 hours with the optional NiMH BATPACK battery pack. A choice of two BATPACK chargers are also available - one for the mains and one that also charges your pack from a 12V car outlet.

• Extended recording times

Over 6 hours @ 16bit 44.1kHz recording on an 4Gb CompactFlash card.

• Professional inputs

Dual XLR inputs (XLR-Jack combo) with top quality microphone pre-amps, trim control and phantom power. Analogue out is provided on phono (RCA) connectors.

• BWF or MP3 recording

Record up to 24bit 96kHz audio.

• Tough construction

Manufactured from high-grade materials and specifically designed for professional location recording.

• Fail Safe Recording

In addition to a 1 take = 1 file system to eliminate overwrites, the FR-2LE also features Auto File Closing which closes files at one minute intervals, thus preserving the data in the event of a power failure.

• USB 2.0

The USB 2.0 port allows direct connection to PC and MAC for easy file transfer.
