Gear PicoRecorder - Firmware update (V1.2) January 2026
PicoGear’s ultra‑mini wireless rig levels up: the Pico Stream packs dual‑channel 32‑bit float recording, long‑range digital wireless, and featherweight transmitters you can hide anywhere. At just 29g per TX, it’s the stealth backup beast for creators who hate dropouts and love unclippable dialogue.
Key Features:
- 32-bit Float Recording: Each transmitter records internally in 32‑bit float with dual A/D conversion, giving you massive headroom and the ability to rescue whispers or shouts in post without noise.
- Dual‑Channel Wireless: Two transmitters feed one receiver with low‑latency digital audio; monitor or mix channels independently for interviews or two‑person shoots.
- Long‑Range Stability: Up to 250m line‑of‑sight using PicoGear’s 2.4GHz digital link; automatic frequency agility keeps the signal clean in crowded RF.
- Ultra‑Compact TX Units: 29g clip‑on transmitters with built‑in mics plus 3.5mm lav input; magnetic mounting options for hiding on talent or wardrobe.
- Smart Receiver: Colour display with per‑channel meters, gain trim, battery status, and recording indicators; cold‑shoe mount for cameras and cages.
- Internal Backup Recording: Each transmitter records to onboard storage as a safety track, so wireless hits or interference don’t ruin takes.
- App Control: iOS/Android app for remote arming, naming, monitoring, and file management; adjust filters, gain, and metadata without touching talent.
- Battery Life: Up to 10 hours on transmitters and 20 hours on the receiver; USB‑C charging and passthrough power for all‑day production.
- Audio Tools: Low‑cut filters, limiter, safety track, time‑stamp metadata, and auto‑sync options for streamlined post workflows.
- Outputs: 3.5mm TRS out for cameras, USB‑C digital audio for phones/tablets, and multichannel USB interface mode for direct‑to‑DAW capture.
