Price


For the money, i believe this is the best audio recorder available.

    If i had known how incredibly well this new tascam recorder works i would have gotten it years ago


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have a tascam model 16 mixerinterfacerecorder at home and a good selection of microphones but i was looking for something more portable that could cover most if not quite all of those duties


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This is an first look review with more to come with use


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I looked at zoom f6 and sound devices mix pre ii


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Unfortunately it is priced high and soon after it was released they raised the price even more


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    One of the critical issues with the mix pre ii is that it was extremely power hungry and the aa batteries lasted for 3040 minutes


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You could buy an additional power plate that used sony video batteries but it made it unwieldy as a portable recorder
