Additionally, a 3.5mm stereo input accommodates wireless microphones, lavalier mics, and other audio sources, expanding your recording possibilities.

Seamless Timecode Integration

The FR-AV2 simplifies your gear setup by generating and reading timecode via 3.5 mm IN/OUT, perfect for DSLR cameras. It also supports Jam-Sync for external timecode devices. Enhance your workflow with the optional AK-BT2 Bluetooth adapter, enabling wireless timecode synchronization with Atomos UltraSync BLUE devices.

Wireless Audio Monitoring and Control

With the optional AK-BT2 Bluetooth adapter, you can wirelessly monitor audio signals in real-time, choosing from three modes to optimize connectivity, monitoring quality, and latency. Dual wired and wireless monitoring allows two users to listen simultaneously, ensuring you capture the best audio possible.

Transform Your iPhone into a Professional Audio Interface
