digital recorder

[Progbusters]

Hi, I'm needing a field recorder straight to SD card, for my work. I'll hook up at the most two XLR mics.

We don't need to hook up to computer because users will be recording voice over or video on location. Our old recorder Marantz PMD671 kicked the bucket and I don't know whats new and good.

I think these things fall in this category: https://www.sweetwater.com/shop/studio-recording/recorders/
What's your recommendation? thanks

Whats your budget? That will narrow it down a bit.

I’ve heard only AMAZING things about the Zoom H6 - slightly lower spec than the fuller featured one that comes up with your link. It looks like it’ll completely meet your needs.

I have the Tascam and absolutely love it. Easy to use and feature full. The recording quality is great.

Re: digital recorder

Sound Devices field recorders are stellar and great value for the Dollar. They are not Prosumer products like Zoom et al.

I have the Zoom H4n. Quite pleased with it. Though the 4 XLR ins on the H6 is.....well, 2 more, "idn't it" (in my best Nigel Tufnel voice).

Re: digital recorder

we also got the Sound Devices recorder. Its small too and can be screwed onto the camera or DSLR. Its easier to use than the Tascam, GUI is cleaner, and sounds clean. Three XLR inputs.

Re: digital recorder

I've been using the Zoom H6 at my job (I'm an editor/videographer) for the last three years, and up until recently, its held up very well. Started having issues with it lately, but haven't been able to nail down what's causing it.
