Compact dimensions

Looking for a professional audio recorder that can easily fit in a small pocket? Do you want a device that is ready to use within seconds?

If you answered yes to even one of these questions, you will love the Saramonic SR-R1 audio recorder! The compact microport can easily be stored in your pocket or clipped to your belt, so it won’t be visible on your videos. This audio recorder is the perfect choice for vloggers, reporters and travellers who appreciate lightweight pocket-sized equipment and the ability to quickly prepare for recordings.

Emissive recording quality

Don’t let the small size of the Saramonic SR-R1 sound recorder fool you! This little guy allows you to record uncompressed audio in WAV format. The maximum sampling frequency here is as high as 48 KHz and the resolution is 16 bits. These parameters make it possible to achieve broadcast-quality sound that can be used in productions published on YouTube, as well as in radio, television, broadcasts, podcasts and music tracks. All files are stored on a Micro SD memory card. The device supports media with a maximum capacity of 128 GB. A card offering 8 GB of data space is included. This is enough to capture up to 23 hours of MONO recordings in lossless quality (or just under 11 for STEREO recording).

Professional tie microphone

Included with the Saramonic SR-R1 audio recorder you will find the Saramonic DK3A professional tie microphone. You can discreetly attach it to your clothing by hiding the microphone in your pocket or by hooking it to your belt. This solution will allow you to record sound as close as possible to the person speaking. The kit also includes accessories to perfectly adapt the device to specific working conditions. A dead cat cover will help you avoid wind noise when recording in difficult weather conditions, a small clip will help you attach the microphone to your clothes, and a special attachment will allow you to conveniently fasten the microport to your belt.

Recording control

Convenience of operating the device is provided by physical buttons and an easy-to-read LCD screen. Changing recording parameters is quick and intuitive. The top of the Saramonic SR-R1 audio recorder has no shortage of headphone jacks for professional real-time monitoring. The unit also allows you to listen to recorded WAV files without having to copy them from a Micro SD card to a computer drive.

Two power ways

To ensure 5 hours of uninterrupted operation with the Saramonic SR-R1 audio recorder, you only need one AAA battery. No matter where in the world you’re working, you can buy one at almost any kiosk! And if you’re planning a particularly long shooting day, simply connect the unit to a power supply or power bank. The USB-C port, which you’ll find on the top of the case, will allow you to do this.
