DR-44WLB

Since the Wi-Fi transmission range is about 20 metres, this feature can be used with the recorder in places that are normally out of reach. Not only does the app allow recording to be started and stopped, it can also be used to check and adjust input levels from an iOS or Android device. Everything related to recording can be done by Wi-Fi.

In addition, audio can be checked by Wi-Fi after recording. The audio quality can be checked through headphones connected to a smartphone. With operation capabilities and flexibility that exceeds infrared remotes – and reliability that approaches that of wired remotes – this handheld recorder allows freedom of placement that far surpasses that of previous models.

Starting with firmware version 2.0 it is also possible to connect via an existing router or access point. Advantages are that (1) you can use other web services like e-mail or sharing portals at the same time with your mobile device, and (2) Wi-Fi range thus control range might be larger, depending on the router capabilities. A direct connection, in contrast, is ideal when there is no Wi-Fi available or you don't have permission to use it.

Note: Checking audio via Wi-Fi is intended for use after recording.

Choose which type of Wi-Fi connection to use: Simple direct connection (no router necessary) or connection via an existing Wi-Fi network (local router or access point)
Remote control using the free DR CONTROL app (iOS/Android)

Built-in X-Y stereo mics enable high-quality audio recordings

Two cardioid mic capsules are arranged so that their diaphragms overlap in the same axis. This X-Y configuration provides a true stereo image. The microphone capsules and input circuitry are designed to perform without distortion in environments with high sound pressure levels – such as live concerts and recording close to a sound source.

In addition, a newly-designed shock mount absorbs vibrations effectively - even when mounted on a digital SLR camera.

• Cardioid condenser mics in an X-Y configuration for impeccable stereo recordings
• Designed to handle high sound pressures of up to 132 dB
• Shock mount structure reduces physical noise
• Dual-level recording function helps avoid overloads

MTR mode can be used for serious music production

The DR-44WLB is also a powerful tool for songwriters. By selecting MTR mode, the user can use the DR-44WLB as a multitrack recorder to overdub one track at a time. With functionality that approaches that of a dedicated MTR, it is possible to produce studio-quality music files using just one DR-44WLB. In addition, the reverb effect can be used to sweeten recordings.
