Two types of stereo microphones, nondirectional microphones and directional microphones

Directivity and frequency characteristics are one of the main characteristics of microphones.

Omnidirectional microphone has nearly uniform sensitivity to sound from any direction, and catches the sound component from low to high.

The directional microphone has high sensitivity to the sound from the direction the microphone is facing.

The tone of the sound component tends to be cut off in the low frequency range.

Omnidirectional microphones are suitable for richly recording the sound of instruments, reverberation and the atmosphere of places, while directional microphones have clear sound images and outstanding stereo feeling by directing two microphones to the left and right directions

can get.

The R-26 adopts the "DUAL STEREO MIC" system with omnidirectional microphones and directional microphones and two stereo microphones.

You can enjoy recording that makes use of the features of each microphone.

Sticking out microphone structure

For each microphone of omnidirectional and directivity, to ensure the best use of the characteristics, I also took a thorough sticking attention to shape, mounting position, angle.

All around the omnidirectional microphone are covered with a metal mesh and optimized so that you can record the sound as it is to the very low range.

The directional microphone is arranged at 90 degrees coaxially with no phase difference.

A sufficient space can be secured also on the back of the unit, and a wide sound field and a natural stereo feeling can be obtained.

You can hear the sound recorded with the built-in microphone with FrontScene's SOUND CHECK.

Flexible to connect external equipment

Equipped with XLR, TRS balanced input terminal on the bottom of the main unit.

Since it is also compatible with phantom power, it is possible to connect both condenser microphones and dynamic microphones.

Furthermore, because it can also input line and level, it can be used in a wide range of applications, such as inputting audio output of keyboard and AV equipment and monitor output from mixer.

Also, on the right side of the main unit is equipped with a PLUG IN microphone terminal.

It is also possible to connect compact microphones suitable for outdoor recording and conference recording.

Combination of built-in microphone and external microphone for all recording applications

R - 26 can combine built - in microphone and external equipment, simultaneous recording of up to 6 channels is possible.

The combination of microphones can be selected from 13 types.

For example, to play solo instruments such as acoustic guitar, use omnidirectional microphone.

Accurately grasp the guitar torso and ambience.

Use a directional microphone for recording environmental sounds such as train and automobile running sounds, and bird's babbling.

The movement of trains and cars and the position of birds are clearly expressed.

Combinations of omnidirectional microphones and directional microphones are best for recording concerts in halls and the like.

The directional microphone catches the position and distance feeling of each instrument, the omnidirectional microphone captures the sound and atmosphere of the hole without leaving it.

Furthermore, if you connect a microphone to the external input terminal, you can also target a specific instrument with a pin point.

In live recording, connect external input terminal and mixer, record performance sound, record cheers and ambience with built-in microphone.

External input and built-in microphone, each sound is saved as an independent file, so you can edit it freely by adjusting sound volume balance and adding reverb using sound editing software after recording.

Three systems of IARC that suppress interference of each input

Input of three systems of R - 26 is equipped with a proprietary analog circuit "IARC (Isolated Adaptive Recording Circuit)" respectively.

By completely separating from the digital circuit and the power supply part, realize a sound with transparent feeling that minimized digital noise and interference.

AUTO-SENS function to measure optimum input sense / level before recording

In order to record the target sound at an appropriate level (volume), input sensitivity / level setting before recording is essential.

The R - 26 incorporates the AUTO - SENS function that automatically measures the optimum input sense / level for each built - in microphone / external microphone.

Prevent distortion of sound and insufficient level due to input sense / level setting mistake.

Pre / Recording function that does not miss recording instantaneous sound

If it is set to record standby, pre-recording which is recorded for 2 seconds from the timing when the record button is pushed back.

For example, even after wild birds cry with outdoor recording, you can record your barks by pressing the record button within 2 seconds.

This will not miss the beginning of the sound.

Limiter / low cut filter function to prevent recording mistakes

The limiter detects unexpected excessive input and performs limiting processing to automatically lower the level.

Distortion (clipping) can be reduced even if a large sound beyond what was assumed in advance level setting is input.

In addition, it is equipped with a low-cut filter that cuts unnecessary components that are easy to concentrate in the lower frequency range of sound frequency composition.

It exerts its effect in the harsh wind blowing noise and low frequency noise during outdoor recording, and the sound crack prevention at live recording.

You can also choose from three stages (100/200/400 Hz) to cut frequency band.

Comfortable operation with large touch panel display

Displays large information with high visibility and intensive display of information.

It is possible to confirm at a glance the recording level at the time of multichannel recording and the waveform display at the time of file editing.

Also equipped with a touch panel that can be operated intuitively.

With intuitive and simple user interface you can easily reach the desired operation.

Hardware design with emphasis on operability

A special knob is prepared for setting the most important input level in the recorder.

It is large and easy to familiarize your fingertips, so you can set the input level in detail.

Also, operators with frequent use such as recording / playback buttons are equipped as independent switches.

Enjoy recording without stress.

Voice and memo function to add notes to sound files with sound

Up to 30 seconds of voice memo can be attached to the recording file.

It is possible to memorize recording contents and situation by voice.

Voice memo can select a file from the file selection screen and can hear it at any time.

Fun expanding in cooperation with personal computers

When connecting the R - 26 to a personal computer (Win / Mac) via USB, it can be used as USB mass storage and audio interface.

In the storage mode, you can move the recorded data file directly to the personal computer.

Data can be easily backed up without plugging / unplugging the card from the main unit.

In the audio interface mode, R - 26 can be used as a voice input device of a personal computer.

Driver mode corresponds to WDM / ASIO (Windows) and CoreAudio (Mac).

For example, you can record songs and narration directly to the sound editing software such as Cakewalk SONAR X1 LE using the built-in microphone of R - 26.

Also supports ASIO, recording is possible up to 24 bit 96 KHz.

In addition, it is equipped with a LOOP BACK function that mixes the sounds played back with the software of the personal computer with the sound input to the built-in microphone of the R - 26 or the external microphone and returns it to the personal computer.

It is possible to mix with BGM and announcement on the Internet for distribution of videos, etc., or to distribute it by one R-26.
