A year of field abuse is good enough for me to recommend the machine, I saw
and heard it for myself. Antonio has been using this machine everyday for
nearly a year for monitoring soundscapes for the University of California i=
n
the Yucatan, he has just bought another for his studies, I recommend this
recorder without blinking :)

I summed up available feedback on the R-4 in this thread:

Have a look. The main discrepancy is that some said the preamps were too
hot, some said too quiet and noisy. I don't think the issue ever got
sorted out, so I'm interested to hear that someone has been getting good
environmental recordings with it.

best,
d.
