Re: affordable field recorder from M-Audio

TRS quarter inch input jacks are certainly more robust than mini jacks, though 
not as robust as XLRs. And wouldn't there be some danger to mikes (especially 
ribbon mikes) as you're plugging in to a TRS jack with 48v phantom active on 
it? Momentary opens, shorts, you name it. As a caution, I'd say plug the cable 
into the recorder first, then attach the mikes. But if your mikes are in 
zeppelins that may not be easy.
 
This unit could get even more interesting if Digidesign OKs using their 
Protools-for-M-Audio software with this model. It'd be the smallest acceptable 
dongle yet for ProTools.
