About Lectrosonics SPDR

Just introduced, the SPDR Stereo Portable Digital Recorder by Lectrosonics is a compact, dual-channel recorder designed to meet the needs of professionals in the field. Whether you're capturing the immersive audio for virtual reality experiences, recording the adrenaline-fueled audio of extreme sports, or documenting in-car scenes, the SPDR is your reliable companion.

This lightweight device is ideal for situations where a wireless system isn't feasible. Paired with a small mixer and the SRC receiver, it forms a compact interview setup that offers full redundancy, all fitting neatly into a small fanny pack for on-the-go convenience.

The SPDR features an industry-standard 5 Pin LEMO time code input for simple momentary jamming, and a high-accuracy oscillator for free-running precision that exceeds 1 ppm, ensuring accuracy during long recording days. The high-definition display, identical to the one on the PDR, and a tactile feedback riser on the record button, facilitate easy, eyes-off recording startup.

Control is a breeze with Dweedle tone commands for easy start and stop via the PDRRemote app. The SPDR also boasts an external power input with an internal battery switchover, ensuring uninterrupted recording even in the event of an external power loss.

With a 32GB memory card, you can record almost 30 hours at the 48kHz sample rate. The device also includes a high-quality headphone output for playback and monitoring. The rugged aluminum housing provides easy access to the microSDHC memory card slot (supporting up to 32GB) and the DC input for external power.

Recordings are stored in the industry-standard BWF file format (.WAV) with iXML metadata, ensuring compatibility with third-party tools like Wave Agent. The deep buffer allows for the use of slower cards with high reliability.

The SPDR offers exceptional battery life, with over 20 hours of recording time on AA lithium batteries when using only internal batteries. In case of accidental interruption of external power, the device automatically switches over to the internal batteries.

Compatible with LM style transmitter belt clips, the SPDR includes a wire belt clip (P/N 26526) and offers a hinged style belt clip (P/N BCHINGED) as an optional accessory. With the SPDR Stereo Portable Digital Recorder, you're always ready to capture high-quality audio, wherever your assignments take you.
