Fostex FR2-LE
€599

The FR-2LE is a compact field recorder for professional use offering 24bit 96kHz recording in the industry standard BWF file format.

Now with their latest FR-2LE, they have an even more compact offering for high quality field recording, interview recording (MP3 mode also available), or simple film/broadcast audio recording.

The FR-2LE is equipped with two professional phantom powered XLR microphone inputs (XLR-Jack combo) complete with precise control over the recording level. It features a 1 take = 1 file recording system which eliminates overwrites and its 2 second ‘pre-record’ buffer means there should never be a missed take or lost soundbite. There’s also an MP3 mode and built-in stereo microphone.

Feature rich, elegant in operation, good pedigree - the new FR-2LE looks good from all angles.
