Audio Recorders for Video

Audio recorders for video capture clean, high-resolution sound for film, documentary, wedding, event and online video work, independent of the camera's own audio circuitry. They give filmmakers proper microphone preamps, phantom power, timecode or camera-sync features and dedicated recording media, so dialogue and ambience can be recorded at a quality camera inputs rarely provide.

This category covers compact field recorders designed around video production, camera-mountable recorders and XLR microphone adapters that bring professional microphone inputs to cameras and recorders. Many models add features such as dual-level or 32-bit float recording, so that unexpected loud moments do not distort and quiet speech stays usable in post-production.

Types of audio recorders for video

  • Dedicated multitrack recorders for film and video production
  • Camera-mountable recorders that sit under a DSLR or mirrorless camera
  • XLR microphone adapters that add professional inputs to a camera or recorder

Audio Recorders for Video: questions and answers

Why record audio separately from the camera?

Dedicated recorders usually have better microphone preamps, phantom power, XLR inputs and recording features than camera audio inputs, giving cleaner dialogue and more control in post-production.

What is 32-bit float recording?

32-bit float recording captures a very wide dynamic range in the file, so signals that were recorded too loud or too quiet can usually be corrected in editing without clipping, on recorders that support it.

How do I sync audio from a recorder with video?

You can use timecode where the recorder and camera support it, a slate or clap at the start of each take, or the waveform-matching features found in most video editing software.
