Application guide
These basic settings are used for using the R-4 Pro to record audio while filming video. If recording
outdoors, you can use the settings for “Recording birdsongs outdoors” (p. 90) in this case as well, but
other settings specific to video are also necessary.

System Setup

You can use the internal mics to record with the R-4 Pro only. However, the recording quality will be
limited compared to using good quality external mics. The sound of the R-4 Pro button operations or
internal mechanism may also be recorded.
Recording audio while filming video
Phantom power switch ON if using a condenser mic that requires phantom power; otherwise OFF
Input Select Analog
The number of mics will depend on the filming con-
ditions. If simply recording the background sound,
you can use two mics and record in stereo. If record-
ing a play or an instrumental performance, you
should set up one mic for each actor or instrument.
You can record up to four mics simultaneously.
Rec Freq. 48 kHz
If you are filming with a video camera and will add
the audio tracks recorded on the R-4 Pro later using a
video editing system, you should record at 48 kHz.
Rec Bit 16 bit
If using audio to add to a production focussing on the
video element, 16-bit recording provides sufficient
quality.
Rec Mode
Set this to match the mic(s) you’re using. Choose the MONO setting if each
mic is assigned to a different actor or instrument.
With the MONO setting, a separate WAV file will be created for each mic. In
other cases you will generally use the STEREO setting.
Pre Recording OFF Turn this OFF, since audio is synchronized to the vid-
eo device.
Project Name Name
It is convenient to assign a unique name to the project
so that each recorded project will be easily identifi-
able; e.g., SCENE001, SCENE002, ... etc.
Timecode Set when recording the timecode.
See Setting timecode (p. 84).
