Perhaps Dan has had his 722 open and can confirm this, but I was told
that the mic pre circuit requires a significant percentage of the
744T's footprint. SD wanted to keep the unit small as small as
possible while including needs like timecode that film/video folks
require. We may not appreciate this priority but its the film/video
buyers that represent the majority of users, not nature recordists,
of course.
R-4 = 8254mm (W) x 221.8mm (D) x 72.2mm (H) weight: 1.7 kg
744T = 209mm (W) X 125mm (D) X 45mm (H) weight: 1.2 kg
