Jos=C3=A9,

Simply, it's too expensive for me to consider. I've spent that sort of mone=
y
on microphones and a second hand pro mixer, but I would be looking for more=

than two channels for a start if I was spending that much money. If I was
still recording professionally, it would be an excellent second standby
recorder, but for a semi-pro or amateur I would suggest a 4 channel machine=

would be more useful. I use gunmics in pairs and would love to be able to
record an array of four and select and mix later, but my pocket money has
run out.

It's got a good max recording length and a useful 20 sec pre-record.
However, you are paying for the high end of the quality scale like 192 KHz=

sampling and also timecode. You could TC lock two machines to get four
track, but how would you monitor that? :-)

Practically, I wonder how waterproof it is for wildlife use and how easy it=

would be to use inside a waterproof case.
