Lots of input options except NO XLR input. Good volume pickup on internal mics. RCA outs would have been nice

Runs on internal rechargable lithium or seperate 5 volt wall wart. I wish this ran on reg alk. batteries, unit would have to be larger though.

Overall this unit is a bargain for what you get. All I'm doing is recording live jam sessions and personal playing with only one overdub. This works great for that. The unit has terrific freq. response and is very easy to operate, very little scrolling and searching for parameters. Operation is quick.
BAD POINTS: NO way to mount to a mic stand or tripod,All plasic housing, don't drop it..., I would like to see a way to engage the Rec via remote, this unit picks up noise when even slightly touched or breathed on.
