Customers like the ease of use, performance, volume control, value, and versatility of the voice recorder.

That said, some appreciate the versatility and say it'll be a great buy for those looking for a versatile and affordable multitrack recorder for podcasting.

Customers are dissatisfied with the battery life of the voice recorder. They mention that it doesn't last very long, and it kills the batteries completely after 45 minutes of usage.

The device and the Bluetooth adapter work well enough to get by. However, the device eats through batteries. I barely had it on for 30 minutes and the batteries are almost gone. You better have backup batteries. As a podcast device, it is nice.

Reviewed in Canada on October 9, 2022
Really nice peice of equipment, I have found it very easy to set up and use.
Audio is good expect is someone gets over excited the playback sounds terrible. Limiter does not seem to help sudden loud noises.

Setup is easy, I record a Podcast in a Bar and only takes 5 minutes to set everything up (Inc mics).
Editing however is a fail.
Wavelab Cast Download software does not download, I use the link but the code provided does not work! Disappointing.
Luckily I have other software such as Mixpad and it was fairly easy to transfer files over to that for editing

Coloquei fotos de todos os ângulos que nem o fabricante mostra, rs. Eu tinha algumas dúvidas e por isso fiz fotos para ajudar quem estiver olhando.
É feito de bom material e parece ser resistente. Testei e o som é limpo, claro. Os efeitos no pad são legais pra dar vida nas lives e os volumes independentes dão a liberdade que cada um precisa para se sentir mais a vontade durante o uso.
