XviveXV1-R 32-Bit Portable Stereo Recorder
1/15
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The XV1-R is a portable stereo recorder with custom X/Y microphones, 32-bit float WAV recording, and controls aimed at quick capture away from a full recording rig. Use its presets for music/media, ambient work, meetings, or concerts, then apply onboard low-cut, gate, compression, or limiting as needed. It can record up to 96 kHz, overdub onto existing recordings, mount to a tripod or DSLR camera, generate slate tone for video sync, and work as a USB audio interface.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Capturing rehearsals, live performances, meetings, lectures, songwriting ideas, and ambient recordings with dedicated recording modes.
- Recording stereo audio for video when tripod or DSLR mounting and slate-tone sync are useful.
- Building a song demo by overdubbing harmonies, commentary, or additional layers onto an existing recording.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Recording sessions requiring a single WAV file larger than 4 GB.
- Users who need more than 12 hours of continuous AAC recording in one recording period.
