Lectrosonics SPDR Stereo Portable Digital Recorder

The Lectrosonics SPDR is a stereo portable digital recorder offering stable high-resolution audio recording and playback for sound engineers, boom operators, and field recordists in VR, television, and video/film production. It records in iXML-compliant Broadcast Wave Format to a microSDHC card (available separately). Operate at 24-bit / 48 kHz to conserve storage space, or use 24-bit / 96 kHz for reduced high-frequency phase distortion. Its aluminum housing is compact, lightweight, and durable, making it ideal for indoor or outdoor locations. A wire belt clip is included for convenient attachment to clothing or a bag.

Two TA5M inputs accommodate mic- or line-level signals and deliver bias voltage for electret lavalier microphones. Linkable input limiters and adjustable input levels allow effective control of your gain stage. Additionally, the selectable split gain mode records each input to two tracks, one at the configured level and one at -18 dB to avoid clipping. Connect headphones to the 3.5mm TRS jack and easily monitor the output.

The TCXO crystal and robust timecode functionality ensure proper generating and syncing operations, and external timecode can be patched to the LEMO 5-pin input. A high-definition display and simple button layout provide efficient menu navigation and configuration of settings. Operate the SPDR for up to 20 hours via two AA lithium batteries, or utilize an external power supply for extended periods of use. The SPDR will automatically switch to the internal batteries in event of a loss of external power.
