The DR-100MKII, designed for professional recording applications in the field, offers high-quality recording directly in WAV or MP3 format from a rugged metal chassis. You can choose between two pairs of built-in uni-directional and omni-directional microphones, XLR inputs with switchable 48V phantom power, a separate mini jack line input and a digital input (SPDIF). This ensures that virtually all fields of application are covered – from music, speech and atmosphere recordings to meeting minutes and live concert recordings.
The recording level can be easily controlled by a twin hardware control rather than a menu option. Recordings can be started manually, automatically by level, advanced (by up to 2 seconds), delayed (to prevent key presses from being recorded) or with the help of the included remote control or an optional footswitch. A defeatable loudspeaker for playback is also included. You can make overdubs, manually create a new file during recording, divide a recording and use locate markers. The unit is further equipped with switchable automatic gain control and limiter, a switchable low-cut filter with three cutoff frequencies, line output, headphones output and USB connector.
The DR-100MKII comes with a 2-GB SD card, remote control, windshield and soft case and can be powered either by the included powerful lithium-ion rechargeable, two AA batteries, an optional batterie pack or an optional AC adapter. The second battery source is used as redundance allowing to change batteries while recording. The built-in mic stand screw socket allows the unit to be mounted on a tripod or microphone stand.
