Designed to suit a wide range of content creators ranging from solo YouTubers to small video crews, the Deity BP-TRX is a flexible microphone recorder and wireless transmitter/receiver with timecode input and output capabilities. The compact, metal unit records to a microSD card, allowing it to be used as a standalone pocket audio recorder. In addition, you can pair it with additional BP-TRX units or a DUO-RX (both available separately) as part of a remote-controllable, camera-mountable, or bag-suitable digital wireless microphone system—with back-up recording capabilites if RF interference is encountered.
The compact BP-TRX easily clips to talent via a removable belt clip and features a locking 3.5mm input connector to accommodate the supplied omnidirectional lavalier microphone; a foam windscreen and lapel clip are also included. Input gain is adjustable from -12 to +36 dB, while the Guard Rail Analog Limiter keeps the signal from clipping and distorting if the source gets too loud—letting you place the recorder in the talent's pocket without worrying about sudden level changes. The unit records audio at a 24-bit / 48 kHz resolution to a microSD card (available separately) with a maximum capacity up to 128GB.
The BP-TRX can be used as a digital wireless transmitter in the 2.4 GHz spectrum at a range of up to 328' and paired with up to four additional BP-TRX units or a DUO-RX on the receiving side. To record from a BP-TRX in receiver mode, connect its locking 3.5mm output to your camera's 3.5mm input using the included coiled cable. The unit can record to the microSD card while transmitting, giving you a clean audio take if there is interference in the wireless transmission.
The transceiver design allows for a wide variety of uses, including IEM and camera-hopping applications. What's more, it enables remote control over numerous parameters on the transmitter, including input levels, low-cut filter settings, and RF output adjustments, all remotely from the receiver. You can even engage the on-board recording feature remotely without interrupting a take.
The onboard SMPTE timecode generator also outputs to the 3.5mm connector, allowing you to use it as a master clock for additional BP-TRX units and other devices that support timecode. A timecode sync and audio cable is included that lets you record both signals to an external device. The unit jam-syncs to incoming code via the same locking 3.5mm input used for the microphone.
Power is supplied by a built-in rechargeable battery, and the unit operates for up to 12 hours when used in transmitter or receiver modes, up to 21 hours in record mode, and up to 25 hours as a timecode-only box. The USB Type-C charging port also functions as a stereo audio interface for Mac and Windows computers. A charging cable and removeable 1/4-wave antenna are included.

The Deity Microphones HD-TX is a plug-on transmitter with a built-in recorder that allows you to record a wired microphone or wirelessly transmit it while monitoring the signal in real-time. Featuring an XLR mic input with phantom power and a locking 3.5mm mic/line input with plug-in power, the HD-TX can accommodate a variety of sources.
As a transmitter, it provides secure 2.4 GHz encrypted signal compatible with Deity Connect wireless systems. With selectable RF output power and advanced frequency hopping, the HD-TX is capable of reliable transmission in indoor or outdoor environments.
Instead of transmitting to a receiver, the HD-TX can record 24-bit / 48 kHz WAV files to a separately available microSD card. The 3.5mm headphone port lets you listen to the playback of recorded files for easy quality checks.
As a transmitter or recorder, the HD-TX offers hours of operating time via its internal USB-rechargeable lithium battery. Plus, its analog limiter, selectable low-cut filter, and adjustable high-frequency boost ensure clear, intelligible audio quality.

Record Safely
- The HD-TX's built-in battery eliminates the fear of sudden power failure from a battery door being opened or the use of mislabeled batteries.
- The HD-TX can predict the internal lithium battery’s power depletion curve so it knows when the battery is about to die, automatically saving the current recording before powering down the unit.
- If the power button is pressed in the middle of a recording, the HD-TX will stop the recording, save the file to the microSD card, then power down. Use the HD-TX screen and button lock to prevent even that from happening.
Onboard File Management
- The HD-TX allows you to play files, rename them, and delete takes.
- File names are determined by the user ID assigned to the HD-TX. So, if multiple units are being used, file management in post production will be easier to keep organized.
