SPDR Stereo Digital Recorder

The Lectrosonics SPDR is a small, lightweight,  dual-channel recorder that records 24-bit at 48 or 96 kHz BWF files to a MicroSD card.  There are two TA5M inputs which can be used as two discrete analog inputs or a single stereo AES input.  It also has a 3.5 mm heaphone output for playback and monitoring.  

The 5-pin Lemo time code input allows a simple momentary jam.  The high accuracy oscillator allows precision better than 1 ppm for long recording days.

The SPDR keypad has a high definition display with tactile feedback riser on the record button for easy eyes-off recording startup. Dweedle tone commands allow easy start and stop using the PDRRemote app.

The SPDR has an external power input with internal battery switchover, allowing all day recording from your bag battery with immediate fall back to the internal batteries should there be an external power loss.

There are two recording modes available in the menu: HD Mono, which records a single audio track and Split Gain, which records two different tracks, one at the normal level and another at -18 dB as a “safety” track that can be used in place of the normal track in the event that overload distortion (clipping) has occurred on the normal track.

The rugged aluminum housing allows easy access for the microSDHC memory card (up to 32GB) and DC input for external power. Recordings are stored in industry standard BWF file format (.WAV) with iXML metadata, for compatibility with third party tools such as Wave Agent (tm). The deep buffer allows use of slower cards with high reliability.

The SPDR has outstanding battery life (over 20 hours on AA lithiums) for long term recording capabilities when using only internal batteries. If external power is being used and is accidentally interrupted, a switchover to the internal batteries takes place automatically. The SPDR is compatible with the LM style transmitter belt clips. The wire belt clip (P/N 26526) is included and the hinged style belt clip (P/N BCHINGED) is available as an option.
