Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the 702T digital recorder. The super-compact 702T records and plays
back audio to and from CompactFlash, making field recording simple and fast. It writes and reads
uncompressed PCM audio at 16 or 24 bits with sampling rates between 32 kHz and 192 kHz. It also
writes and reads data compressed FLAC and audio compressed MP2 and MP3 files. The time code
implementation on the 702T extends its usefulness in audio-for-picture applications—from over-the-
shoulder to cart-based production.
The 702T implements a no-compromise audio path that includes Sound Devices’ high-resolution,
discrete microphone preamplifiers. Designed specifically for high bandwidth, high bit rate digital
recording, these preamps set a new standard for frequency response linearity, low distortion perfor-
mance, and low noise.
With documentary and ENG sound engineers in mind, the 702T is very small, while still being
feature-rich. No other recorder on the market matches its size and feature set. In addition, its learn-
ing curve is quite short—powerful does not mean complicated. While the 702T is a very capable
recorder by itself, it truly excels when used in conjunction with an outboard audio mixer such as
Sound Devices’ own 442 or 302.
Sound Devices took advantage of the best in professional and consumer electronics technologies
to bring incredible feature depth with ease of use. CompactFlash media is highly reliable, industry
standard, and easily obtainable. The removable, rechargeable battery is a standard Sony-compatible
Li-ion camcorder cell. The 702T interconnects with Windows and Mac OS computers via FireWire for
convenient data transfer and backup.
