Vulnerabilities: electrical interference
This recorder has a great quality feel, getting the files off the device is simple and easy. When the recordings are produced without error, they are of high quality. A huge issue for me is that %95 of the time the recordings are clear, but %5 of the time there is a loud beeping noise intermittently. My expectation was to receive a quality recorder that produces functional recordings %100 of the time. This unit is far below my expectations. I will not purchase from Zoom again and suggest your consider other companies to fulfill your audio requirements. UPDATE: Unit ceased to function entirely. I have contacted support and they have notified me that they will replace my defective unit. They made me pay for the shipping back to their facility. I have yet to hear back from them post shipping. UPDATE2: I got a new unit and it works well so far. I am using battery power exclusively because I have reason to believe that a power surge or faulty cord caused the defect and subsequent failure. UPDATE3: This new unit is also extremely vulnerable to electrical interference. Smartphones, laptops etc within less than a foot or touching a person who is holding a microphone produces unusable recordings. Neuther unit worked as an audio interface functionally at all. The only way to get usable recordings is away from any sort of electrical interference. I think the unit should be marketed differently and these known limitations should be more available to those considering to purchase.
