After the most anticipated piece of audio equipment was released by Deity at NAB 2026, the Deity PR-4 4-Channel Recorder WON best audio product at NAB 2026 in Las Vegas! Now the PR-4 is nominated for Best Audio Recorder in Pro MovieMaker’s Gear of the Year Awards 2026!
What are the Gear of the Year Awards?
The Gear of the Year Awards are “the Oscars of kit” created by Pro MovieMaker. They celebrate the best filmmaking equipment, and services, released over the past 12 months. Winners are chosen by working professionals and peers via a public vote.
Deity have been nominated in three separate categories this year, which we are immensely proud of. However, we need your help to win!
Deity PR-4 – Nominated for the Best Recorder
The PR-4 is a 4-channel, 6-track audio recorder with AES 3 and 42, Automix, a powerful preamp, and built in timecode that works with the Deity eco-system, allowing your recorder to be the master clock. The PR-4 can be used as a location sound recorder within a portable bag, mounted on a camera, or used as a podcast interface.
Deity THEOS – Nominated for the Best Wireless Audio
Our digital wireless system, the Deity THEOS, has been nominated for the best wireless microphone. With its built-in 32-bit float recorder, our UHF system can wirelessly transmit and record simultaneously, whilst also wirelessly syncing timecode with our Deity TC-1 timecode generators.
Deity S-Mic 3 – Nominated for the Best XLR Microphone
Weighing a mere 80 grams, the Deity S-Mic 3 is one of, if not the, lightest XLR microphones on the market due to its aluminium alloy ultra-light body. With its smooth tone and broadcast sound quality, it has an ultra-low noise floor of just 12dB.
Deity V-MIC D4 Mini – Nominated for the Best DSLR Microphone
With its compact design and 20mph wind rating, the V-MIC D4 Mini has picked up the nomination for best DSLR microphone. The D4 Mini requires no batteries, and runs off 1-5V from cameras, phones and audio recorders.
