SPDR Power
Battery Installation
The audio recorder is powered by
two AA Quantum (recommended) or
Lithium batteries.
Push outward on the battery compartment door and lift it to open.
Push outward and
lift to open
Insert the batteries according
to the markings on the back
side of the housing.

LECTROSONICS, INC.2
The SPDR is designed to be used with the
CH12 external (or equivalent) power source.
The nominal voltage to operate the unit is 12
VDC, although it will operate at voltages as
low as 6 VDC and as high as 17 VDC.
External power sources must be able to
supply 200 mA continuously.
NOTE: There is an automatic switch over to
internal batteries if power is interrupted.
Insert the card with
the contacts facing the
control panel side of the
recorder.
Formatting the SD Card
New microSDHC memory cards come pre-formatted with a FAT32 file system
which is optimized for good performance. The PDR relies on this performance
and will never disturb the underlying low level formatting of the SD card. When
the PDR “formats” a card, it performs a function similar to the Windows “Quick
Format” which deletes all files and prepares the card for recording. The card
can be read by any standard computer but if any write, edit or deletions are
made to the card by the computer, the card must be re-formatted with the
PDR to prepare it again for recording. The PDR never low level formats a card
and we strongly advise against doing so with the computer.
To format the card with the PDR, select Format Card in the menu and press
MENU/SEL on the keypad.
NOTE: An error message will appear if samples are lost due to a poor
performing “slow” card.
WARNING: Do not perform a low level format (complete format) with a computer. Doing so may render the memory card unusable with the PDR recorder.
With a windows based computer, be sure to check the quick format box before
formatting the card.
With a Mac, choose MS-DOS (FAT) if the card is 32 gb or smaller, exFAT if
card is 64 gb or larger.
IMPORTANT
The formatting of the PDR SD card sets up contiguous sectors for maximum
efficiency in the recording process. The file format utilizes the BEXT (Broadcast Extension) wave format which has sufficient data space in the header for
the file information and the time code imprint.
The SD card, as formatted by the PDR, can be corrupted by any attempt to
directly edit, change, format or view the files on a computer.
The simplest way to prevent data corruption is to copy the .wav files from the
card to a computer or other Windows or OS formatted media FIRST. Repeat
– COPY THE FILES FIRST!
Do not rename files directly on the SD card.
Do not attempt to edit the files directly on the SD card.
Do not save ANYTHING to the SD card with a computer (such as the take
log, note files etc) - it is formatted for PDR use only.
Do not open the files on the SD card with any third party program such as
Wave Agent or Audacity and permit a save. In Wave Agent, do not IMPORT you can OPEN and play it but do not save or Import - Wave Agent will corrupt
the file.
In short - there should be NO manipulation of the data on the card or addition of data to the card with anything other than a PDR. Copy the files to a
computer, thumb drive, hard drive etc that has been formatted as a regular
OS device FIRST - then you can edit freely.
iXML HEADER SUPPORT
Recordings contain industry standard iXML chunks in the file headers, with
the most commonly used fields filled in.

Compatibility with microSDHC
memory cards
Please note that the PDR and SPDR are designed for use with the microSDHC memory cards. There are several types of SD card standards (as of this
writing) based on capacity (storage in GB).
SDSC: standard capacity, up to and including 2 GB – DO NOT USE!
SDHC: high capacity, more than 2 GB and up to and including 32 GB – USE
THIS TYPE.
SDXC: extended capacity, more than 32 GB and up to and including 2 TB –
DO NOT USE!
SDUC: extended capacity, more than 2TB and up to and including 128 TB –
DO NOT USE!
The larger XC and UC cards use a different formatting method and bus structure and are NOT compatible with the SPDR recorder. These are typically
used with later generation video systems and cameras for image applications
(video and high resolution, high speed photography).
ONLY the microSDHC memory cards should be used. They are available in
capacities from 4GB to 32GB. Look for the Speed Class 10 cards (as indicated by a C wrapped around the number 10), or the UHS Speed Class I cards
(as indicated by the numeral 1 inside a U symbol). Also note the microSDHC
Logo.
If you are switching to a new brand or source of card, we always suggest testing first before using the card on a critical application.
The following markings will appear on compatible memory cards. One or all of
the markings will appear on the card housing and the packaging.

The audio input circuitry is essentially the same as on Lectrosonics SM and
L Series transmitters. Any microphone wired as Lectrosonics “compatible” or
“servo bias” will work with the SPDR.
The Power LED is green when the SPDR is running on battery power. When
recording, the light will blink green. Once battery power is low (30 minutes remaining), the LED will turn red. Once the red LED begins flashing, the SPDR
can die at any moment.
The Power LED is blue when the SPDR is running on external power. When
recording, the light will blink blue. If both batteries and external power are connected to the SPDR, it will run on external power and the LED will be blue.
The Power LED will briefly blink blue rapidly on receiving a successful time
code jam.

Powering On
Press and hold the Power Button until the Lectrosonics logo appears on
the LCD.
Powering Off
Power can be turned off by holding the Power Button in and waiting for the
countdown. The Power Button will not work while the unit is recording (stop
recording first before powering down) or if the SPDR has been locked (unlock
the recorder first).
If the power button is released before the countdown reaches 3, the unit will
remain turned on and the LCD will return to the same screen or menu that
was displayed previously.
Locking and Unlocking Settings
The LOCKED mode protects the recorder from accidental changes to its settings. When locked, menu navigation is possible, but any attempt to alter settings will prompt a “LOCKED/can use menu to unlock” message. The unit can
be unlocked using the Lock/Unlock setup screen or by removing the batteries.
The PDRRemote app will still work.

About the “Slow Card” Warning:
If any samples are lost during recording, a warning screen will appear displaying “slow card.” Typically the lost audio is less than 10 milliseconds and is
barely noticeable. The unit will still be recording while this screen appears.
Press the BACK button (OK) to return to the recording screen.
When this happens, there will be no “gap” or brief silence in the recording.
Instead, the audio and timecode will simply jump forward. If this happens
repeatedly during the recording, it is best to replace the card.

Timecode defaults to zero at power up if no timecode source is used to jam
the unit. A timing reference is logged into the BWF metadata.
Frame Rate
The frame rate affects embedding of the timing reference in the BWF file
metadata and display of timecode. The following options are available:
• 30 • 23.976
• 29.97 • 30DF
• 25 • 29.97DF
• 24
NOTE: While it is possible to change the frame rate, the most common
use will be to check the frame rate which was received during the
most recent timecode jam. In rare situations, it might be useful to alter
the frame rate here, but be aware that audio tracks many not line up
correctly with mismatched frame rates.
When TC Jam is selected, JAM NOW will blink on
the LCD and the unit is ready to be synced with the

3) Set Input Level.
When setting input level in Analog Input Type, it is best to go through the following procedure before recording.
1) With fresh batteries in the SPDR, power the
unit on.
2) Prepare the signal source(s). Position microphone(s) the way it will be
used in actual operation and have the user speak or sing at the loudest
level that will occur during use, or set the output level of the instrument
or audio device to the maximum level that will be used.
3) Press MENU/SEL to select which input to adjust. Adjust the input gain
with the UP and DOWN arrow buttons so that the input LED glows green
during the loudest peaks in the audio. The LED will turn red if the peak is
being limited in the preamp.

Using a Remote Control App
PDRRemote By New Endian LLC
Convenient remote control is provided by a phone app available on the AppStore and Google Play. The app uses audio tones (“dweedle tones”) played
through the phone’s speaker that are interpreted by the recorder to make
changes:
• Record Start/Stop
• Mic Gain Level Adjustments
• Lock/Unlock
The SPDR tones are unique to the SPDR, and the recorder will not react to
“dweedle tones” meant for Lectrosonics transmitters.
The screens appear differently for iOS and Android phones, but perform the
same functions.
For Best Results
The following conditions are required:
• The microphone must be within a few inches.
• The recorder must be configured to enable remote control activation. See
Remote on the menu.
Please be aware this app is not a Lectrosonics product. It is
privately owned and operated by New Endian LLC,
