Description
High-Resolution Portable Audio
The 702 includes essential features required for high-resolution portable audio capture in a durably-constructed compact-chassis. Sharing a common menu architecture with the 7-Series family of recorders, the 702 is intuitive to operate. Powering by external 10-18 VDC or Sony-compatible camcorder battery allows flexibility for use in portable and studio applications alike.
Data Storage and Transfer
The 702 records uncompressed PCM or compressed MP3 audio to a Compact Flash card and an external FireWire drive simultaneously. It can be connected to Mac OS or Windows computers with FireWire 400 for high-speed data transfer.
7-Series Family of Recorders
The 7-Series Recorders possess unmatched capability in a compact package, each designed for unique user requirements. As with other 7-Series Recorders, the 702 can be used as a stand-alone device, fed by numerous analog mic, line, or digital AES-3 outputs, or preceded by a portable audio mixer such as Sound Devices' 552 or 302.
