Why not e-mail Oade Brothers and find out more: www.oade.com

It would be great if they could specify what they mean by not so great?

I actually purchased an Edirol R4 recently.
It was the Oade page that made me aware it existed.
According to my dealer I am one of only few people to have one in Germany.

My main interest in bying it is to make the switch away from DAT as well as
the 4 channel opportunity.

My (couple of days) experience so far is quite positve.

I've done 4 channel early spring birdsong recordings with a modified 4
channel Jecklin disc (2 Audio Technica AT3031, 2 Audio Technica AT3032),
that I like very much.
With my mid class surround system, I feel in the middle of the forest.

Coming from Sony DAT and Sharp MD mic preamps, I am satisfied, but I am by
no means short of a recording professional.
My main interest in recording is ambience anyway.
Just today I did a recording of the first spring Thunderstorm from my
balcony with a stereo Jecklin setup (AT3032 again).
And I really rocks.

In case there is anyone who would like to have more detail about the Edirol
R-4 or even sound samples, just let me know.
I would also be interested in an exchange of experience with other users.
