Strong match

Who this is for

  • Creators recording live performances, band practices, and song ideas
  • Podcasters and filmmakers needing a portable recorder
  • Visually impaired creators who benefit from an audible menu system
  • Users who want overdubbing, playback-speed control, or USB mic/interface use

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Users needing an XLR input; the supplied connector specification lists a 1/8 in stereo mini jack
  • Anyone whose workflow requires recording media outside supported microSDHC or microSDXC cards
