TASCAM DR-680 Recorder 6 Mic Inputs

["Rob Danielson" danielson_audio]

Hi--
The TASCAM DR-680 looks like something recordists who have been
wanting to get into surround work might want to look into. Manual:
http://www.tascam.com/i-3902-232-128-0-1EC728EF.pdf

Key, of course, will be mic input noise and I don't see much in the
manual specs. They do state "60dB" of gain which is a good start and
it looks like a comparable build to their other better recorders that
do sport low noise pres,..

A 6-8 track recorder for $500 more than a good, 4 channel mic pre
does sound too good to be,.. Fingers crossing anyone?

I haven't looked into how it handles media for long duration
recording when reaching file size limits. Rob D.
