Re: [gear] Sonosax Mini R82 on sale

I saw one of the Sonosax machines at the SBES (Sound and Broadcasting Equipment 
Show) at Birmingham, back in November.
The capability to record 8 tracks via the digital connector is a good design 
feature.

Sadly, as with my SD 744, if you want to use 4 microphones, you are still 
forced to carry an external peramp for the second pair of mics.

The metering on the SD is better than the Sonosax, which only has a small LCD 
window for everything.
The extra cost for the accessory cables to interface to the unit should also be 
considered.

However, I guess that the size and weight advantage, plus the ability to use AA 
batteries will suit many users.
