I wish I had the option to post an audio comment, that’s the only way my excitement can truly be displayed. Your video is the only one I have been waiting on and I am not at all disappointed, you gave me all the information I needed and more, so so so helpful and now I’m even happier with my purchase. Amazing detailed video. Thank you!!!!
Hehe, Justin Porter will definitely be the first person to reach the 48 devices limit 😄 Great review btw! 👏 I love the THEOS system and can't wait for the PR-2 to also be available soon in Germany.
We own the Zoom F2BT, Tascam DR10L Pro, and the Rode Wireless Pro , and got it about a month ago. The PR2 is really the very best among all of them, being able to use it with the TC-1 just makes multi-cam recording such a joy.
I use PR-2 with TC-1 and this combination works very well to synchronize audio and video on separate devices. There is just one caveat: I have to set PR-2 as a Master for synchronization. When I set TC-1 as a Master instead then PR-2 superficially shows that it is synchronized with TC-1 but when I open files recorded on PR-2 then they reveal some kind of internal PR-2 timecode (as if it was not synchronized with TC-1).
Thanks for an honest review of the monitoring features. Diety doesn’t clearly explain the inability to monitor while recording in their videos for US users. I probably would’ve bought it if it had this feature.
Thanks for this review. I've been waiting for this product since april 2023 when they first announced it. I still have to watch practical reviews and compare it to the F3 to decide.
Thank you for the review! Could make a quick video (even a short) just showing how to edit the 32 bit in post please? (like you did on 13:15) There's not even one on youtube.
You said @ 17:14 that even with the US version you can still send the timecode audio signal to camera while recording but you can't monitor it. How do you do that? I have a US unit I'm here in Texas. I can't figure out how to record audio on the PR-2 while sending timecode audio to my mic input on my camera. My camera doesn't have timecode so I need the timecode audio. I've tried all the settings and flipping the switch both ways I can get the timecode audio but the pr-2 won't record. Then I can get the PR-2 to record but no timecode audio is being sent to camera Please help
@@kadventure68yeah. Not only that but if you try to use a stereo left right splitter the timecode audio signal is so loud it spills into the other channel and no matter what you do you still hear it. I have a tentacle track E and on that you can lower the volume output of the timecode audio so you don’t hear it on the other channel. I wish the PR-2 let you turn the timecode audio down like the tentacle but it seems it only has one volume and that’s max volume. With the TC-1 no problem either I can split and use one channel for mic audio and no spill. Go figure.
@@slcantu you and I think a like. I also use a Track E and use a splitter with the TC-1 (haven't tried with PR-2). The track E is a bit better because you can start recording and it disables the TC output. Whereas the PR-2 you have to switch modes: record or TC output. The whole reason I purchase the PR-2 is I wanted to record 32bit AND provide time code from one unit based on the comment in the video that this was allowed.
@@kadventure68me too. And I bought 2 Pr-2’s. Thinking about sending them back and getting two tc-1’s or another track E and a Tc-1. I like the idea of having multiple recorders so might just get 2 track e’s
@@slcantuI discovered I can jam-sync my Osmo Pocket3 using the USB interface on the PR2. There is a setting in the 'system' menu to generate TC out the USB interface. I tested a recording on the Pocket3 and PR2 simultaneously and was able to get TC on the audio track of the Pocket3 and recording on the PR2. However, this does not appear to work with usb-c to mini adapter.
Thanks for this. I like having screens on the devices and not being tied to constantly looking at my phone. And I like that their home software works on Windows unlike Tentacle. My only concern is how new it is. I should probably order one from B&H and give it a go.
Great video!😊👍 Having standard user replaceable batteries also means that the recorder won’t die, because an internal non replaceable battery becomes faulty or is at the end of its life. I had some wireless flash triggers die on me because I wasn’t using them for a longer period of time, and then when I wanted to use them again the internal battery could no longer be charged😭😡. So an internal battery basically turns whatever it’s in into a disposable throwaway product. In my case that meant around 300 USD went down the drain.🤬
I am new to audio and video and filmmaking. Do you have any videos that show us how to sync the audio and video from Deity Pr2 with deity TC1 timecode.
I have every recorder mentioned except the Tascam. The F2’s headphone output still works while recording. I bought two of these already and will probably switch from tentacle, but man that no output thing is frustrating. On another note, I was already thinking about buying more of the w lav pros so this is perfect. Probably my favorite lave beside the Cos d-11 (which is my other lav)
HI Very happy to be in EU and will soon purchase the PR 2 to complement it with the TC 1... U could always buy Global and import it with Aliexpress to the USA ...
What hardware revision you got? Hardware version 1.0 was very noisy That’s why the kept delaying the release of the product over and over so they fix the noise issue. You can find the hardware version in the menu Thank you
I have a question: can this device output timecode and record audio at the same time? I bought it and the timecode output is excellent, the audio recording features are very good. But when I choose to make it produce timecode then audio recording is disabled.
@@agostonfeher8797 I found a solution that works for me. I bought Deity TC-1 and I use it to synchronize my camera (Blackmagic 6K G2). And I use Deity PR-2 to record audio. Now my audio and video are perfectly synchronized. I just import audio and video separately into my timeline in DaVinci Resolve and they are perfectly synchronized. The only caveat is that I have to set PR-2 as a Master and synchronize TC-1 with PR-2 via the Sidus app. Generally I can see that people do not treat PR-2 as a timecode solution at all, they treat it just as an audio recorder (without using the timecode feature). I think that PR-2 timecode features are not exposed properly to users.

Might be selling my Tentacle track e for this, seems like a better ecosystem to get into since it's less expensive and the Track E doesn't give you any features that the Deity doesn't already have.
Hello 👋 Im just starting out and struggling to decide between the Deity PR-2 and something like a Wireless Lav option like Sony UWP-D27. What would you recommend? Thanks 🙏
Great review, thank you. I like a few things about the PR2, but as I have two F2-BTs and a Rode Wireless Pro kit, I see little if any reason to change. For the same kind of money I am considering an Ultrasync One that could help timecode sync all my recorders.
Hi Matt, I might still be confused about the in-out switch. For the Global version, in the "In" position, everything is for normal and in the "Out" position, the output jack turns into an input jack and the Input jack (lavalier mic) stops working? If I understood this correctly, then accidentally turning off recording is not the worry but accidentally flicking this In/Out switch is. Also, can you make a video on how to sync this with a camera? Thanks! Love all your videos!
I use the track e and about to sell all my tentacle gear. Trying to decide if I wanna go pr2 or a few diety Theos units. Would be great to be able to monitor audio. But I’m a sound mixer and I use my axient setup on pro jobs. What’s your take? Would you rather monitor with small chance of cutting out or leave and risk something happening and not noticing or hearing?
great Matt, I BOUGHT 3 tc-1 TIMECODE, I WANT TO START USING TIMECODE IN MY WEDDING WORK, AT THE MOMENT I AM IN DOUBT AS TO IF I NEED TO CHANGE MY H4essential RECORDER, to use timecode on the recorder, H4e only works via BT, this new PR2 seems to me practical and complete, let's see if I can buy one or two... sorry Justin Porter
Matt, so the big question is - TASCAM DR10lPRO or PR2? Plain and simple.... (as I was writing this, I just checked and the DR10lpro just dropped by $50)
If you want to use timecode, the PR-2 will be simpler to setup. If not though, the DR-10L Pro at $150 is a fantastic deal, especially considering the 28 hour battery life is very competitive with the PR-2
I have a question, is the housing metal or plastic? Cause it seemed like plastic and if I'm not wrong I saw a raw version made of aluminum when they announced it, so I'm a bit confused.
@whoismatt great video love your content! To be clear @whoismatt can you monitor audio via the sidus app while recording or do you have to stop recording to be able to hear audio?
I still don’t get it This thing is not a wireless system with a built in recorder. It’s a simple wired pocket audio recorder with a headphone jack like all audio recorders And with all the audio recorders out there you can still monitor the audio with the headphones while you are recording. What makes this different from zoom H1 or H4n or H5 or 6 or 8 or the Sony audio recorders or tascam recorders. You can monitor audio with headphones What makes this one any different
32-bit float with decent pre-amps and a very good lav mic plus long record times. The form factor of the H1, H4n, 5, etc. are not appropriate to drop on subjects and have them walk around for hours. The Tascam DR-10L or Zoom F2 are competitors not those field recorders.
@@rsmith02 I know all that, what I meant was why would zaxcom sue deity for the headphones monitoring while recording This is not a wireless system with built in recorder that zaxcom has patent on ( record and transmit wireless at the same time) This is a simple 32bit floating recorder with headphone jack Why would zaxcom sue if it record and be able to monitor with headphones. By the way this is not just a decent preamp. It has an excellent preamp It’s EIN is the same as the F series from zoom ( -127dbu ) The Sound devices mixpre 6 is -128dbu which is almost the same
The app doesn’t look great. And the recorder is kinda bulky. I use tentacle system. Love the app. Not knocking the deity bc I’ve never tried but just based on optics. Also, the Sidus app is kinda buggy for lights.
I was hoping that this would have STEREO 32-bit recording with DUAL 5v PiP to run 2x DPA 4060s for field recording, but I guess we’re sticking with the Zoom F3 as the best small field recorder in 2024. I waited forever for this thing to come out, kinda disappointed now. I know us field recordists aren’t the target market, but dang it would have been nice if we could have simply used that other locking 3.5mm as a second, fully-powered input.
The Track E is fantastic! So is the DR-10L Pro. Like I said in my review, there are so many good recorders now. But the PR-2 is $120 cheaper than the Track E, with 3x the battery life, which I think some people will care about.
It's fine but most people aren't going to the expense and hassle of time code unless it's required like on a movie set. Its far more convenient to use a device that transmits the audio while recording a backup. Note most cameras don't have a timecode jack so it needs to be recorded to one of the audio channels and that can bleed into the other. It doesn't prevent drift because most cameras don't have Genlock. I've revisited timecode but every time I've passed on it.
Thankfully it looks like camera manufacturers are adding better timecode support. Sony a7siii was just upgraded to support timecode with a USB adapter just like the FX3 and FX30 and the Panasonic GH7 has a flash sync timecode adapter cable in the box. :)
@@whoismatt I agree, a ton of inexpensive cameras and tons of used options support timecode. Plus so do nearly all cameras with an audio input support it too. 100% worth the small time in prep.
I have followed you for years Matt, and I have liked your free thoughts about different products… clearly now you as many others in TH-cam let them self be controlled by the manufacturers.. Let us get the old Matt back!!
