A Versatile, Compact, and Powerful Digital Field Recorder!

The Sound Devices 744T digital 4-track recorder gives you a compact, file-based solution for easy and effective field recording applications. The 744T is capable of writing and reading uncompressed PCM audio at 16 or 24 bits, with sample rates between 32 and 192kHz. Compressed MP3 audio playback is also supported. The addition of timecode functionality, high-quality preamps, and two recording media (hard drive and Compact Flash) means you record and play back a huge amount of pristine audio just about anywhere with the 744T.

Sound Devices 744T Digital File-based 4-track Recorder at a Glance:
  • Two recording media
  • Time code
  • Uncompressed and compressed write and read functions
  • Portable and compact for field recording


Two recording media
The Sound Devices 744T comes with both a hard drive and Compact Flash recording media for great flexibility and storage options.

Time code
The implementation of a time code function makes the 744T ready for any recording job - from over-the-shoulder to cart-based production. This is an invaluable feature for just about any video application involving audio, and this professional feature comes standard with the 744T.

Uncompressed and compressed write and read functions
The 744T writes and reads uncompressed PCM audio at 16 or 24 bits, with sample rates between 32kHz and 192kHz. Compressed (MP3) audio playback from 64 kb/s to 320 kb/s is also supported. Whether you need premium sound quality for pristine sound capture, or you need to record a high quantity of audio files, these features make the 744T a versatile tool.

Portability and compact design
Field recording can be demanding, requiring compact and lightweight gear that functions as a "studio outside the studio." The 744T's compact design, as well as its removable, rechargeable battery, high-quality built-in preamps, and flexible mic and line inputs, gives you the kind of durable, great-sounding recording tool you need to make amazing and effective recordings in the field. The 744T also easily interconnects to Windows and Mac systems via FireWire for convenient data transfer and backup.
