ROYAL!
Cet enregistreur vous facilite la vie, très intuitif d'utilisation. Parfait pour enregistrer plusieurs pistes. Pour ma part, j'ai un micro par enceinte et le micro intégré dirigé vers la guitare + un micro sur perche pour la voix. Parfait.

llebo unos meses con ella, y hasta ahorita me a funcionado muy bien. la uso mas como interfás pero e echo algunas grabaciones y tiene muy buena calidad, aun faltan descubrir como funcionan bien algunas otras configuraciones, pero sin dudarlo la recomendaria para un uso desde iniciante hasta profecional.

Some flaws but okay
Beware that XLR/TRS preamps are pretty noisy & mic levels are difficult to tweak buried beneath the menus. The navigation for file system is archaic and follows (date_hhmmyy) naming convention. However its okay to capture room ambience. For direct sources as long as the source is atleast 6 feet away you should be fine. The output speakers obv have no headroom so playing back heavily distorted guitars and drums can be done at around 85-90% volume if you are reviewing the recordings. Overall it will compress less than your smartphone mic & records PCM WAVs without turning your PC/Laptop on. If that is your use case then my suggestion is get a touchscreen one.

Excellent recorder for the blind
As a blind person, I have been using this recorder with ease due to the voice guidance included on the recorder, which includes the ability to set the clock without someone reading the screen. Various updates since my purchase almost a year ago have improved upon the voice guidance, to tell me when inputs are enabled or disabled, for instance. the noise floor of the recorder is low enough that under most circumstances, it's below the sounds being recorded from the recorder. 32 bit files make the need to set any level on the recordings superfluous, but you can get around this by going into the mixer and turning up the volume of the various inputs before recording. However, for someone who doesn't know about the benefits of 32 bit files or how to deal with them after they're recorded so as to normalize volume levels, etc, this may not be as useful to some. There are some improvements that I hope can be addressed in future updates. 1. At the current moment of writing (January 23, 2025), if you are only recording one track of input, there are two files being made. One file is for the single track you are recording, and the other file is for all tracks combine, which in the instance of creating a recording with only one track, will only be a duplicate of the track being recorded. In my opinion, this wasts space on the MicroSD card, doubling the amount of space a single recording should take while making it. 2. While updating, there is no audio prompts at certain points, especially when you know it's time to restart the unit for the update, unless something undocumented has changed in firmware 2.0.2 that I don't know about. 3. When going through the list of files, no names are provided, but there are already the numbers available for the clock, why not use those to find the files you'd like? For now, you can play each file you're going through and stop it if it isn't what you want to review, or simply connect it to your computer and review the files that way. 4. There is no limiter available on the line-out. This has been very useful on my Zoom F3, I could see it being quite useful on the Zoom H6 as well. So far, this has been a reliable and excellent recorder for my use cases.
