Lectrosonics MTCR, RCDR COMPACT W/LAV MIC MICRO SD & 1 LTH METAL BAT

The Lectrosonics MTCR is a miniature bodypack digital audio recorder with an M152/5P lavalier mic. This Lectrosonics MTCR is designed to clip directly on your talent, it captures audio with time code in circumstances where a wireless transmitter is impractical but high-quality recording from a lav microphone is essential. This professional recorder is ideal for difficult audio capture in situations such as extreme sports, wedding videography, public events, complicated documentary shoots, or reality shows. The miniature size is critical to the MTCR's appeal. The recorder weighs only 2.5 oz (with AAA battery) and offers a truly tiny form factor that is unobtrusive and easily hidden in garments and costumes. It is also easy to conceal when used as a "plant" microphone to capture environmental or location sound.

The Lectrosonics MTCR provides a headphone output for monitoring the input signal during setup or listening to previously recorded files. Please note that the headphone output does not send audio while recording. In keeping with typical Lectrosonics mechanical designs, the housing is machined from a solid aluminum billet for the ruggedness needed in field production. The MTCR records to a microSDHC card (up to 32GB) and runs for over 6.5 hours on a single lithium AAA battery. Additionally to the lavalier mic, a 16GB microSDHC, a belt clip, and a AAA battery are included so you have everything you'll need to get started right out of the box.
