About Sound Devices 722 2-Channel High-Resolution Digital Audio Recorder - SKU#1226799
The two-channel 722 is a powerful file-based digital audio recorder. The super-compact device records and plays back audio to internal hard drive, CompactFlash cards or external FireWire drives. It records and plays uncompressed PCM audio at 16 or 24 bits with sample rates between 32 kHz and 192 kHz. Compressed (MP3) audio record and playback from 64 kb/s to 320 kb/s are also supported. The 722 implements a no-compromise audio path that includes Sound Devices' next generation microphone preamplifiers.
Designed specifically for high bandwidth, high-bit-rate digital recording, these preamps set a new standard for frequency response linearity, low distortion performance and low noise. No other recorder on the market matches its size or feature set. In addition, its learning curve is short-powerful does not mean complicated. While the 722 is a very capable recorder by itself, it truly excels when used in conjunction with an outboard audio mixer such as Sound Devices' own 442 or 302. Its two internal drives (hard drive and Compact Flash) are highly reliable, industry standard and easily obtainable. The removable, rechargeable battery is a standard Sony-compatible Li-ion camcorder cell. The 722 interconnects with Windows and Mac OS computers for convenient data transfer and backup.
