Specification
The DR-44WLB features a pair of high quality stereo condenser microphones, made from high performance components and arranged in an XY orientation. These microphones tolerate high sound pressure levels without distortion. Two lockable XLR inputs for external microphones or other sources are also provided.
With four independent recording tracks, a built-in mixer with reverb effect and the ability to create intermediate mixes (bounce function), the DR-44WLB offers the possibility of creating true multitrack recordings. Or record two tracks simultaneously in two different formats (WAV / MP3) or with two different level settings.
Main features:
