2-Input / 2-Track Field Recorder
Protected audio.
Pocket-sized.
The PR-2 is a portable Tru32™ Bit Float Dual ADC recorder designed as a wearable first but with expanded functionality that broadens its reach into the field recorder and plant recorder use. The original PR-2 was already the leader in this category. The PR-2ii improves upon its predecessor with improved sound quality, continuous wireless timecode, industry leading battery quality and WAV File Recovery.

PR-2ii is a wearable-first recorder built for videographers, small crews, and creators who cannot afford to lose audio due to wireless signal issues. It combines Tru32™ Bit Float Dual ADC recording technology, a new cleaner dual-ADC preamp, 20+ hours of battery life, wired and wireless timecode, and Sidus Audio control in one pocket-sized tool.
The best take is often the one you cannot recreate. PR-2ii is designed to disappear into the production while protecting the audio behind it: on talent, planted in a scene, mounted to a rig, or working outdoors beyond the operator’s reach.

Dual-ADC preamp
PR-2ii’s dual-ADC preamp architecture delivers lower self-noise and greater dynamic range, helping quiet dialogue stay detailed while sudden loud moments remain recoverable in Tru32™ Bit Float Dual ADC. You get more usable audio on the first take, and more room to shape it in post.
With an internal-recording dynamic range of 124 dB or higher and an EIN rated at -117 dBV (A-weighted, 36 dB gain, 150 ohm source), PR-2ii captures cleaner, more detailed sound across demanding production environments. The improved preamp performance carries into both stereo 24-bit and mono Tru32™ Bit Float Dual ADC workflows.

PSRAM buffer + file recovery
When the recorder is hidden on talent or planted out of reach, an interrupted file can turn into an expensive reshoot. Built-in PSRAM buffers audio on its way to the card, evening out differences in write speed so PR-2ii works with a wider range of microSD cards.
If a recording is interrupted unexpectedly or a file gets corrupted, power PR-2ii back on: it finishes writing the WAV file footer and recovers the file.
IP54 enclosure
Recorders are often placed where the operator cannot constantly protect them: hidden under wardrobe, planted inside a vehicle, mounted on a camera rig, or working outdoors. PR-2ii’s IP54 rated enclosure helps resist dust and splashes so the recorder can keep working through changing weather, sweat, and the everyday abuse of location production. A new rubber gasket seal has also been added around the battery compartment.
A tougher 6H tempered-glass screen cover and button-based controls create a stronger face than the previous model.
PR-2ii helps crews move from setup to a clean recording with less technical friction.
PRESET GAIN
Built-in gain presets for popular lavaliers, including DPA 4060/4061, Sennheiser MKE 2, Countryman B3, and Shure TL47, provide a practical starting level fast.
One-touch recording, 75 Hz and 150 Hz low-cut filters and a soft-knee limiter help stabilize audio in changing environments.
The result is a faster workflow for experienced operators and a more forgiving path to usable sound for smaller crews.
A sunlight-visible 600-nit color display, dedicated record button, and clear battery, recording, and timecode status make fast checks easier on chaotic shoots.
Pre-recording helps capture the moment before you press record, while mark points make important takes and moments faster to find later.
Use Sidus Audio to control PR-2ii and monitor key settings from a mobile device, without reaching under wardrobe or interrupting a take.
Rec mode, track, input and output on one screen. The improved preamp performance carries into both stereo 24-bit and mono Tru32™ Bit Float Dual ADC workflows.
Through the Sidus Audio App and Bluetooth, you can wirelessly listen in on the PR-2ii from more than 130 ft (40 m) away. With 250 ft (76 m) of app control range, you can remotely adjust levels without interrupting critical takes.
Keep sound and picture moving together without rebuilding your sync workflow around the recorder.
PR-2ii can receive wireless timecode from the Deity timecode ecosystem and wired timecode through its 3.5mm connection. The PR-2ii falls in line with the rest of our timecode ecosystem:
And of course… other PR-2ii units.
When PR-2ii is on talent or planted somewhere you cannot reach, Sidus Audio brings the recorder back to you. Start and stop recording, check status, adjust key settings, and monitor over Bluetooth from a supported iOS or Android device.
The 3.5mm connection can bring timecode in or send it out during recording, including LTC and ATC workflows for cameras and other production gear.
You can also output timecode via USB-C which is compatible with XTRA, DJI, and Insta360 cameras.
