Value For Money :
Excellent
I use it for less than a month. I was able to lend me a Tascam DR 100 MkII. I have long been eyeing the Marantz 661. The price difference and ergonomics as well as the possibility of cyclists made me switch for Roland.
Quality balanced microphone preamplifier amazed me! I do not know where people find the breath. However, it is important to use the sensitivity control. ergonomics with the touch screen is very nice and very intuitive.
I used it with cardioid microphones Calrec CB 20/cc50 whose sound is very close to the Neumann KM 84 to a power organ sound: very good surprise! Excellent quality preamps and converters, in my opinion, much better than Tascam or Zoom
the life of the battery 2000 mA / h appeared to me very suitable unlike what is said but I have not used active preamps like Sennheiser MKH or Schoeps
In defects:
no SPDIF digital output or analog XLR ... Too bad it should not be difficult to do and he deserved; I do not think the price would have been greatly modified, but it is probably a blunder engineering design office as frequently. Everyone can not be called Nagra!
as most of these mini recorder, the electret microphones are correct ... No more. The position and the possibility of mixing of four microphones seems higher, after a brief essay on the harpsichord, unlike the Tascam or Marantz.
A black dot, which seems common to all these recorders, too, is the sensitivity of the microphones handling recorder casing: all means! It therefore lacks a remote control for this device. Again, apart Nagra, the microphones are not mounted on elastic suspension inside the housing. I think a small blade foam rubber under the caps would have arranged things to a negligible rate! Another misconception of a consulting firm who has never worked in the sound outside; we find the same errors in manufacturers of camcorders and cameras, do not worry!
I find it great value for money as the floor above you pay for quality by a factor of about two or three!
I remake that choice without problem
