I’m really impressed with this tiny recorder. I bought at the same time as the Tascam FR-AV2 which I also like a lot. The build quality feels cheap, but let’s be honest it is cheap. There is a lot of recorder for the money here. There has been some debate online about which 32-bit recorders actually have dual ADCs and which use some other workaround. This has dual ADCs and might be the cheapest dual ADC 32-bit recorder available. There has been some negative criticism about the noise levels but I’m not noticing it, and I record nature sounds where it would be obvious. I like the form factor, with the front facing XLR inputs, which means I have been plugging microphones in directly with no cables and using it like I use my portable Sony PCM-D100. Battery life, with just two AA batteries, and 48V power has been over 10 hours which I think is excellent. The only negative I have concerns the user interface, which seems a bit clunky. This is my first Zoom recorder though so others may be used to the screen. Of the recorders I own currently, which include the Sound Devices Mixpre 3II, Tascam FR-AV2 and Sony PCM-D100, I am finding myself picking this one to use most frequently due to its size and battery life.
