    Very happy with this recorder. It's a good price and has a lot of functionality. Sound quality is really good, a lot better than the Zoom H4N. Wifi capability is also a nice little bonus. Build quality is ok, it feels pretty light and plasticy. Aside from that it's great piece of kit

    The unit itself is brilliant, nice Wi-Fi control too, touch of a noise floor but nothing a windjammer wouldn’t fix. Tascam stripped away the accessories annoyingly but the gals n guys at rubber monkey have been awesome as always. If like me you like recording foleys, a touch of vocals and a smattering of multichannel, this is a solid budget option

    Great recorder for use on my bird hunts. High quality sound and not too hard to use. I added wind buffers to the mikes and use the support mounts on top to tie to tree branch when recording birds. RubberMonkey are an excellent firm that ship promptly.
