Too bad, definitely curious to see this one.  The increase in price won't make a difference, the issue is sound and functionality are improved.

Looks like they’ve now differentiated a US and worldwide model. Due to licensing patent tech from Zaxcom?

I know Sonosax has had to release two versions of some of their recent recorders (maybe also the M2D2?) because of the Zaxcom patent. It's interesting that Stagetec, Sound Devices, Zoom, and Tascam do not. I wonder if the method by which Zaxcom gets 135 dB dynamic range from their preamps is not by using multiple auto-ranging DACs, or at least not implemented the same way as those other ones.

^ Sound Devices, at least, has their own patent in this arena. If I recall, it is on the algorithm that they use to combine the streams from the multiple ADCs. Don't quote me on that, though (it has been a while since I read it)...

I see deity have set up a page for a US version, https://deitymic.com/products/pr-2-us/

They write “US sold PR-2 units do not feature the mic pass thru option”, does anyone know what this means?

From the non-us version of the page:

MIC PASS THRU

The PR-2 features a toggle switch on the top that allow you to pass the microphone PiP from the output thru to the input. This means you can daisy chain the PR-2 with a transmitter so you can add recording functionality to any transmitter you might own. This also means even if the PR-2 is turned off, the transmitters PiP is still passing thru to power your lavalier.

So my assumption is it's related to the patent discussion above, and you can't record and transmit at the same time.  Probably also means you can't monitor live via the headphones, but that's less clear.

At AES NY yesterday.  The Deity booth didn't have much to show.  No PR-2, not even a demo.  No word on the price.  May begin production in six weeks.

Meh.

Sorry I haven't read the whole thread, how big is this? I can't find dimensions on the website.
