Why Onboard Recording On BoomX-D PRO Is So Much Significant?

BoomX-D Pro is an upgraded version of BoomX-D. On the basis of optimizing wireless transmission and sound quality, it also adds three powerful functions such as 8GB onboard recording, safety channel, and digital & analog outputs. In this article, we will take a look at the onboard recording of the BoomX-D Pro!

What is the Onboard Recording?

Simply put, the recording function is implemented on the transmitter of the BoomX-D Pro, and the sound picked up by the transmitter can be directly recorded in the built-in storage space.

The operation of it is very simple, just long-press the REC button on the transmitter to start. Whether it is the built-in microphone or external microphone or other audio equipment connected through the MIC interface, it can be recorded. The sampling rate of the recording is 48KHz, and the sampling precision is 16bit. 

The transmitter has built-in 8GB storage space, which can record 24-hour audio files. For copying the recording file, turn on the transmitter, connect the transmitter and the computer via USB-C interface, you can see the drive named BoomX-D Pro on the computer, select the desired recording file, and copy it to the target path.

You may ask, the receiver can output to recording devices such as cameras or recorders, why do we add the function of onboard recording? Does it increase power consumption?

of course not! The main reason for adding this is that no matter how stable the wireless transmission of the wireless microphone is, in some special use environments, there may still be a dropout. The onboard recording is adding a backup to avoid the loss of signals.

Secondly, the transmitter can be used as a recorder. For example, when shooting animals, you can start the recording function of the transmitter, place it next to the small animal, and then observe the shooting from a distance. Or use the transmitter to record directly during a news interview.

Besides, the recording of the transmitter is not limited by the 2.4G transmission bandwidth and can use higher specification encoding, with better sound quality and more space for post-production. In this way, it can help creators make better use of sound.
