Staff Review

Having 96kHz recording, the on-board speaker, a wireless remote control, a screw thread for stand mounting, and the ability to mix-record different inputs makes the DR2 a serious contender in the handheld-recorder market. Less obvious improvements, such as the significant reduction in handling noise, are also very important. The DR2 packs enough punch to compete with the best in its price range, and makes the decisions that prospective buyers have to make even harder.

Could not be happier with this. Remote control, and records a backup at a lower level in case you clip - what a great idea. Best in the price range by a long long shot. Delighted.

Bought this for using with backing tracks. I was going to spend about 300 for a rackmount unit to play my tracks with, but for half the price this sounds as good, records, and fits on a mic stand! Brilliant.
