Field recorders barely larger than your hand are a huge hit with musicians, sound engineers and sound designers. With the release of R-26, this market segment will heat up. This innovative portable recorder is packed with professional features that are completely new to the industry. The R-26 features two types of stereo mics, a pair of XLR/TRS combo inputs for external mics, and a stereo mic input with plug-in power. You can use the internal microphones (cardioid and omnidirectional) simultaneously and add or not signals from the external inputs. Record concerts with line-level connections and room mics, record speeches, lectures or presentations, or take the R-26 with you for on-the-spot recordings in the city or countryside. Incredibly powerful and flexible, this magnificent recorder is a creative artist's dream tool.
