XLR/TRS input jacks support balanced input and can provide +48V phantom power. Dedicated software has EASY and EXPERT tabs. Support for highresolution recording formats up to 96kHz/24bit.
A good "apprentice" tool for the heady world of Podcasting..if you like this then you can expand beyond it if you want. As with all Tascam stuff like their DP-008 digital recorder they are user friendly and well thought through.
