Deity Microphones will present three major additions to its production audio and timecode ecosystem at IBC 2026, which runs from 11 to 14 September at RAI Amsterdam. Visitors will be able to see the PR-2ii running production firmware with a range of new features, and get the first public look at the new Deity TC-2 timecode generator and the THEOS D4RX four-channel wireless slot receiver.
The IBC demonstrations bring the products together as one connected workflow: dependable local recording on the PR-2ii, continuous wireless synchronisation from the TC-2, and four channels of professional UHF reception through the D4RX. Deity will demonstrate how each product works on its own and as part of the wider Sidus Audio, timecode, and THEOS ecosystems.
Deity PR-2ii: Production Firmware
The PR-2ii will be shown with production firmware, giving IBC visitors a hands-on look at the recorder’s finished workflow. Although its screen is 60% brighter than the original PR-2, it still achieves more than 20 hours of battery life on two AA batteries. It also adds continuous wireless timecode reception* and remote control through Sidus Audio.
Designed for audio that cannot be recreated, the PR-2ii adds IP54 dust and splash resistance, PSRAM-backed audio file buffering protection, pre-recording, mark point metadata, and microSD card support up to 1 TB. At approximately 55 grams without batteries, it remains compact enough to wear on talent, plant in a scene, or mount to a small rig. * Available in a future firmware update, following the release of the TC-2.
Deity TC-2: First Public Viewing
The TC-2 builds on the compact form and straightforward operation of the TC-1 while expanding how productions distribute and manage timecode. Continuous Bluetooth timecode keeps other TC-2 units locked to the same reference point in real time, eliminating frame drift between units within wireless range. The TC-2 is also the first portable timecode box to offer native 120 fps timecode based on SMPTE ST 12-3, alongside USB-C ATC timecode.
An RP-SMA antenna provides up to 70 metres of wireless timecode range. A larger AMOLED colour display, protected by 6H-rated glass, improves visibility and durability. TC-1 cables and the hook-and-loop cold-shoe mount remain compatible, while BitConnectify 1.0 support maintains single-pulse wireless timecode sync with existing Deity products such as the DBTX, TC-SL1, and PR-2.
Andrew Jones, North American Business Development Manager, Deity Microphones
“The TC-2 takes everything people love about the TC-1 and elevates it. The size, simplicity, ergonomic controls and compatibility are still there, but continuous wireless timecode, USB-C TC, and the new display make it a much more capable tool for today’s sets. We did a lot of listening to the community to find the areas we needed to polish on the TC-1, and the team has worked incredibly hard to make the upgrade feel meaningful without leaving our current users behind.”
THEOS D4RX: First Public Viewing
The THEOS D4RX gives cinema production sound, broadcast, and TV teams four discrete channels in a compact true-diversity receiver. Its eight-radio architecture pairs with front-end SAW filtering, encrypted digital audio, and Global OneBand™ wideband tuning from 550 to 960 MHz. A swappable rear interface supports slot-based workflows and professional analogue and AES3 outputs, helping crews move between sound bags and carts with fewer adapters and cable runs.
From the receiver, operators can remotely adjust frequency, gain, RF power, and the internal 32-bit float recorder on paired THEOS transmitters from more than 20 metres away. The D4RX also brings LiveHit DeNoiser™ noise reduction to any or all paired transmitter channels, and it completes RF scans 300% faster than the D2RX, so crews can set up their channels more quickly than before.
Vincent Rozenberg, Executive Director Europe Operations, Deity Microphones
“The D4RX has been a long time coming, and reaching this first public showing has taken an enormous amount of hard work. Sound professionals asked for four channels, true diversity, professional outputs, slot compatibility, and wireless control. Their feedback helped shape the receiver people will see at IBC.”
