Deity PR-4 Six-Track 32-Bit Float Portable Audio Recorder

The Deity Microphones PR-4 is a portable multitrack recorder pitched at professionals who value clean audio captured on location. It offers four inputs and six tracks of recording, with two 3.5mm TRS stereo microphone inputs for compact sources. Its defining feature is 32-bit Float recording at sampling rates reaching 192 kHz. That format captures an enormous dynamic range, which means a sudden loud passage is far less likely to clip and a quiet one can be lifted in post. For interviews, run-and-gun documentary work, and small multi-mic setups, it promises pristine clarity without constant gain riding.

Construction favors the field. The body is compact and ruggedly built, and dual ARRI-style 1/4"-20 mounts allow it to bolt directly into a camera rig or stand. Power comes from an included NP-F550 battery rated for up to ten hours, enough for long sessions between charges. Everyday operation relies on intuitive controls, adjustable gain, low-cut filters, and an automix function, while the Sidus App adds wireless remote control for hands-off tweaks. Auto-save on power loss and internal storage round out a design clearly built to protect recordings when a shoot goes sideways.
