Frequently Asked Questions
It's surprisingly capable for a multi-track recorder, but dedicated ambisonic units offer more precise spatial control and potentially cleaner results.
Yes, absolutely. The 8-in/4-out configuration is solid, though latency might be a consideration depending on your computer's processing power.
It's built to a decent standard, but a protective case (like the one included in the bundle) is highly recommended to safeguard it from bumps and dust.
