Great sound performance and fantastic functionality, buid quality is very good but the battery compartment doesn't close perfectly with rechargeble batteries, so the reason why I didn't gave 5 stars in that area.
Very satisfied
The kashmir pre-amps sound amazing and I love how lightweight and compact the recorder is.
The 4 inputs allow for dolby atmos recordings, or shotgun with radio mics, etc. so really versatile in terms of use.
Very happy with this product and it was delivered promptly.
