Deity Microphones PR-4 Portable 4-Input / 6-Track 32-Bit Float Field Recorder
The Deity PR-4 Portable Field Recorder is designed for small productions that still demand professional, multimicrophone audio capture. Compact enough to mount directly on a camera or fit into a lightweight production bag, the PR-4 delivers four inputs and six-track recording—making it an ideal solution for filmmakers, videographers, and content creators working without a dedicated sound mixer. Whether you’re recording interviews, documentaries, weddings, or multiperson scenes, it keeps your workflow streamlined without sacrificing flexibility.
Multi-Mic Recording Made Simple
With two XLR inputs and a stereo 3.5mm TRS input for channels 3 and 4, the PR-4 makes it easy to combine a boom microphone with multiple wireless lavaliers. Built-in Automix intelligently manages active microphones, helping maintain clear dialogue when multiple speakers are present, while still recording isolated tracks for full control in postproduction.
32-Bit-Float Performance with Clean Gain
The PR-4's 32-bit-float recording and dual-ADC microphone preamps provide up to +60 dB of clean gain, allowing it to handle everything from quiet dialogs to loud environments without distortion. This architecture eliminates the need for precise gain staging, giving creators confidence that their recordings will remain usable and noise-free.
Dual Recording for Built-In Backup
For added reliability, the PR-4 records simultaneously to an SD card (up to 1TB) and an internal 64GB SSD. This dual-media recording system provides automatic redundancy, protecting your audio files in case of card failure, loss, or accidental formatting-an added layer of security rarely found in a recorder of this size.
Advanced Sync and Remote Control
Wired and wireless timecode synchronization keeps cameras, slates, and other devices aligned, simplifying multi-device productions. With Sidus Audio app control, users can remotely monitor and adjust settings from a smartphone or tablet, reducing the need to physically access the recorder during a shoot.
Compact Design with Professional Details
Despite its small footprint, the PR-4 includes a color touchscreen interface with intuitive gestures and clear metering, AES3/AES42 digital audio support for professional gear compatibility, and a flexible routing matrix for sending signals to cameras, headphones, or custom mixes. NP-F battery compatibility ensures long run times for extended shoots, making it a reliable companion for modern production setups.
Deity Microphones Field Audio Bag (Mini)

The Deity Field Audio Bag (Mini) is a compact, purpose-built solution designed specifically for the PR-4 recorder, giving sound mixers a lightweight and efficient way to build a portable multichannel recording rig. Constructed from durable ripstop nylon, the bag is built to handle the demands of location work while maintaining a streamlined form factor, ideal for fast-moving productions.

Fast Access, Efficient Workflow
An all-around zipper design provides quick access to both sides of the recorder, for easy cable routing, while a bottom opening allows direct access to the SD-card slot and NP-F battery, without removing the recorder. This thoughtful layout keeps your rig fully assembled while simplifying battery swaps and media changes between takes or shooting days.
Structured Interior with Customizable Layout
Inside, a reinforced metal support frame and internal sub-chassis give the bag added structure while helping separate the recorder from the accessory compartment. The hook-and-loop-friendly felt lining allows you to fully customize the way you organize, using compatible accessories and making it easy to tailor the interior to your specific workflow while keeping gear protected and neatly arranged.
Flexible Storage and Mounting Options
Designed to support compact field setups, the bag features front MOLLE mounts for attaching up to two wireless receivers or transmitters, and provide additional MOLLE points on the sides for IFB transmitters or spare wireless packs. Full-length hook-and-loop strips across the front and back expand mounting and cable management options while also securing the included clear PVC rain shield. Inside the front pouch, elastic retention straps hold accessories in place, while mesh pockets in the side flaps provide convenient storage for batteries, lavalier microphones, and small adapters.
Built for Field Use
Four rubber feet on the base help protect the bag from wear when placed on rough surfaces, while the reinforced frame and rugged fabric construction ensure reliable performance in demanding environments. A wide, padded shoulder strap provides comfortable carrying during long shoots, and large loop zipper pulls allow for easy operation-even when wearing gloves.
Deity Microphones PR-4 Metal Cage with Integrated ORTF Microphone Mount

The Deity PR-4 Metal Cage with Integrated ORTF Microphone Mount expands the capabilities of the PR-4 field recorder by turning it into a compact, all-in-one production rig. Designed to mount securely to both the top and bottom of the recorder, this lightweight aluminum frame adds protection while creating a versatile platform for attaching microphones, wireless receivers, and other essential accessories.

Integrated ORTF Stereo Mounting
At the top of the cage, two built-in suspension mounts are positioned at a precise 120° ORTF stereo angle, allowing you to quickly create a professional stereo microphone setup without the need for additional bars or brackets. The mounts are compatible with Rycote Lyres, Radius Hoops, and Deity V-Mic suspensions, making it easy to configure a wide range of shotgun or small-diaphragm microphones, for capturing ambience, sound effects, or field recordings.
Versatile Mounting Options
Functioning as a full-featured cheese plate, the cage includes multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded mounting points for attaching accessories such as wireless receivers, timecode boxes, or articulating arms. A built-in cold shoe mount provides a quick and convenient option for adding compact accessories directly to your rig, keeping your setup streamlined and efficient.
Durable and Portable Design
Machined from lightweight aluminum, the PR-4 cage adds rugged protection without compromising portability. Its compact form factor makes it ideal for camera-mounted rigs or mobile field setups, while straightforward installation using a Torx precision screwdriver allows for quick assembly or removal as your production needs evolve.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Professional Field Recorder The Deity PR-6 is an impressive field recorder with outstanding audio quality and a well-designed workflow. The 32-bit float recording provides incredible headroom, making it much easier to capture clean audio without worrying about clipping. The preamps are quiet, the timecode integration is excellent, and the overall build quality feels solid and reliable. As a videographer, I appreciate how easy it is to integrate the PR-6 into a professional production setup. The interface is intuitive, the controls are responsive, and the recorder performs reliably during long shooting days. If you're looking for a compact, professional recorder for filmmaking, documentaries, ENG, or commercial production, the PR-6 is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

Everything you could want

I don’t usually leave reviews but this audio recorder does everything I’ve wanted a recorder to do since I started shooting events. First off, eliminating the last thing that still used AA batteries in 2026, the interchangeable NP-f will record for 8-10 hours and are readily available. Internal storage and sd card slot with high capacity capability, the redundancy is a must for weddings. Not to mention this thing is tiny and light, boots in about 15 seconds, stopping recording you have to hold the rec button to prevent accidental bumps, and it creates a file folder for each date so everything stays organized when you have multi day shoots. I honestly can’t praise it enough and at this price point it blows every other option out of the water.

Is this capable of wireless audio monitoring via bluetooth similar to the Tascam FRAV2?
Asked by: Ray
The Deity Microphones PR-4 Portable 4-Input / 6-Track 32-Bit Float Field Recorder does not support real-time wireless audio monitoring via Bluetooth. In order to listen to your live mix or isolated tracks, you must use the physical headphone output jack on the PR-4. However, you can use the Sidus Audio App via Bluetooth to remotely monitor visual data, including the live VU meters and battery level, and you can also adjust input settings.

Can you run this off D-tap battery?
Asked by: Francis
Yes, the Deity Microphones PR-4 Portable 4-Input / 6-Track 32-Bit Float Field Recorder can be powered from a D-Tap via the 12-18V Hirose 4-pin power input. You would need a D-Tap to Hirose 4-pin cable such as the CAMVATE D-Tap to 4-Pin Hirose Cable, BH # CAC2379.

Does it automatically close the files it records at regular intervals (similar to Tascam recorders) so that in the event of a power loss the files aren't corrupted and can still be used?
Asked by: Phil
The Deity Microphones PR-4 Portable 4-Input/6-Track 32-Bit Float Field Recorder does not automatically close and reopen files at regular intervals, like some Tascam recorders, but it does include automatic backup redundancy that can help prevent corruption in certain scenarios. According to the manufacturer specifications, the PR‐4 records simultaneously to both an SD card (up to 1 TB) and an internal 64 GB SSD. This dual‐media approach means that if one storage medium fails or is corrupted, the other copy is still intact.
