This compact and lightweight recorder features five carefully crafted presets tailored for different recording situations: Production mode for pristine music and media capture, General for high-quality ambient recordings, Meeting mode optimised for lectures and conferences, Voice Memo for efficient speech recording with minimal file sizes, and Concert mode for transparent music encoding with automatic level control.
Built with an intuitive front-panel layout that's quick to master, the XV1-R houses a pair of custom X/Y configured microphones capable of handling sound pressure levels up to 130 dB. The unit includes essential onboard processing tools including low cut filtering to eliminate rumble, gate functionality for background noise reduction, compression to smooth volume peaks, and limiting to prevent distortion and clipping. Storage flexibility comes via support for MicroSD cards up to 2GB, SDHC cards up to 32GB, and SDXC cards up to 128GB.
For video production, the XV1-R mounts directly onto DSLR cameras via the threaded socket on its base, serving as a high-quality stereo audio solution that can generate slate tones for precise audio-video synchronisation during post-production. The innovative Overdub feature allows layered recording, perfect for adding harmonies, commentary, or building multi-part song demos. Additional practical features include an onboard speaker for quick playback when headphones aren't available, and a fur windscreen to protect outdoor recordings from wind interference.
