The Complete GoldenEar R44 PRO 4-Channel Recording and Transcription System is an elegant, turn-key kit that provides professional quality audio recording and transcription. The R44 conference recording system captures four channels of high-quality uncompressed audio into removable, cheap, and easy to find SD and SDHC flash memory cards, giving limitless recording capability away from the studio. Onboard effects include limiter, low-cut filter, 3-band EQ, 6-band GEQ, Enhancer, and DeEsser. The R44 "4 track recorder" is a 4-channel recording and transcription system weighing under 3 lbs. including batteries, making it an ideal field recorder for videographers, musicians, teachers, city councils, committees, and sound designers.
Capture up to 4 channels of uncompressed audio with selectable bit depths (16-bit or 24-bit) and sampling frequencies (44.1kHz/48kHz/88.2kHz/96kHz) to common and inexpensive SD and SDHC memory cards.
Record directly to the R44 4 track audio recorder without external microphones and monitor recordings with the built-in speaker or through the headphone jack.
The Pre-Record function buffers input signals for a user-definable amount of time. When the REC button is pressed, the material from the previous few seconds (selectable) is included. This also helps reduce sound bites at the beginning of a recording by not having to start the conference recording system too early.
The combo input jacks (4) supports the connection of both XLR and 1/4 inch plugs. XLR inputs are equipped with phantom power. Eleven steps of input sensitivity enable the connection of various devices with a variety of inputs levels from microphones to musical instruments. High-quality analog circuitry in the preamp ensures superior recording results.
The R-44 storage can be mounted on computers with a simple USB 2.0 connection.
The R-44 can be operated with 3 types of power: AC adaptor, 4-pin external battery and AA batteries. Four hours* of operation is possible with NiMH or alkaline batteries. [* at 16-bit/44.1kHz stereo. No phantom power and pre-record disabled.]
An on-board limiter helps suppress sudden peaks in sound from an input source. A low-cut filter is included to help prevent things like wind noise or mic handling noise. Studio class effects such as 3-Band EQ, 6-Band GEQ, Enhancer or DeEsser can be used as tools to greatly improve audio quality. Effects can be applied while recording or simply for monitoring/playback.
The unique Start-Stop 4X-PRO Transcriber is Included with the Start-Stop GoldenEar 4X PRO Digital, providing professional grade four-channel transcription device based on our Start-Stop UNIVERSAL Transcriber, a trusted name in digital transcription systems. This software builds on the successes of the UNIVERSAL Transcriber and allows for true, separate four channel conference transcription. Listen to any combination of channels: single channel, multiple channels, or all channels while controlling the recording with the foot pedal. This setup is familiar for professional transcriptionists and is easy to learn for beginners.
"I just purchased the 4-Channel Universal Transcription System from Start-Stop. I can truly say it was one of, if not the, most pleasant internet buying experiences I've ever had. Not only did Joe, the engineer, tell me about the software, he also went the extra mile in installing it and teaching me all the features and how to use them. He then set it up to my specifications. Altogether he spent about 2+ hours on the phone with me making sure I was completely satisfied before even asking for my credit card information.
"In addition to that, I called him regarding a problem I was having with an R-44 recorder that I bought under a different name from a different company. He never hesitated to answer my questions and to make sure that I had everything set up correctly, something that the manual is not really good at.
"I just wish that I had known that Start-Stop sells the exact same machine under a different name. I would have bought from them to begin with.
"All in all, I'd give the software and the customer service an A+++ rating. If you're thinking of buying from Mart*l, please consider Start-Stop. You will be glad you did!" - Alice Moore, GA
