Control the A20-Mini from your phone or tablet via Bluetooth 5.2 with companion app A20-Remote. The A20-Mini’s high-efficiency internal 2.4 GHz antenna ensures excellent Bluetooth range.The sleek, rounded form fits perfectly into body contours and underneath tight clothing.
With the Mini’s GainForward Architecture, easily set the transmitter’s gain, low-cut, and limiter directly on your 8-Series.
The A20-Mini records in 32-bit float for an astounding >130 dB of dynamic range. This allows for audio gain decisions to be made after recording, with zero loss in headroom or noise performance.
No more SD card management – the ample-sized media stores more than 80 hours of continuous, uncompressed 48 kHz, 32-bit float recording. Simply offload the recorded WAV files via the high-speed USB-C port to a computer.
The Mini’s ultra-accurate 0.2 ppm internal timecode generator can be jammed via USB-C with negligible drift over a 24-hour period.
3 AAA batteries or a rechargeable Sony NP-BX1 give you the ultimate in powering flexibility. You can even recharge the NP-BX1 via the Mini’s USB-C.
With a built-in 470 MHz to 694 MHz UHF tuning range, your Mini can go wherever work takes you.
