The new Edirol R-4 Pro is a 4-channel portable field recorder with time code, making it a breeze to sync with today’s new generation of video cameras, like the Canon XL HD1 and JVC GY-HD250U. With four channels of superb quality audio (with resolution up to 24-bit/96kHz), the R-4 Pro has a built-in 80GB internal drive plus instantaneous high-speed backup via USB 2.0 to affordable and easily obtainable media such as memory cards or hard drives. This feature allows an improved production work flow in the field – even across multiple locations. You can also plug the R-4 Pro into a PC or Mac and the internal drive pops up on the desktop for immediate access. The unit is equipped with a 4-pin XLR DC input to enable use of external battery power.
