Sound Devices 702T

Sound Devices 702T  
Portable, High-Resolution Audio Recorder with Time Code

Visit Sound Devices' website for further information and to download user manuals and firmware updates.

The two-channel 702T is a powerful two-track file-based digital audio recorder with time code. The super-compact device records and plays back to convenient, removable Compact Flash cards, making field recording simple and fast. It writes and reads uncompressed PCM audio at 16 or 24 bits with sample rates between 32 kHz and 192 kHz. Compressed (MP3) audio playback is also supported. The time code implementation makes the 702T perfect for any dual-system video or film production application.

The 702T 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 quite short—powerful does not mean complicated. While the 702T 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 Compact Flash storage is a highly-reliable industry standard. The removable, rechargeable battery is the popular Sony-compatible Li-ion camcorder cell. The 702T interconnects with Windows and Mac OS computers for convenient data transfer and backup.
