Nice! 4 channels even. It'll be interesting to see what the price point is on this. This could end up being some serious competition for the SD744.

About time! 40G hd, 24/96, coax in, phantom power, 4 channels, USB2. Firewire would have been nice, but if this gets priced under $1K, I'll predict that this is what I'll be using in a year or two. I'm guessing this is the pro model of the R1 that Edirol hinted would have digi-in?

I don't expect this to be under 1k$
I will probably be between 1500 and 2000 $
Look at the competitors.
I was expecting a r-2 more than a r-4: Can't they make one with two xlr in, digi in,phantom power, the size of the r-1, and less than 700 bucks?

Edirol ... have they made a bit-perfect product yet?
Out of the game … for now?

Look at the competitors.

True, but consider Edirol's prices on other products relative to the competitors.  For example, UA-5.  A whopping $300 or less.  V3 = $1300.  MMe = > $1,000.  I think it's entirely conceivable it'll go for < $1,000.  'Course, we'll only know once it hits the street.

Can't they make one with two xlr in, digi in,phantom power, the size of the r-1, and less than 700 bucks?

No kidding!!  That's all I want behind my V3.

Looks nice.
Kinda Big. Power requirements not given, no mention of it on the Edirol site.

Stay tunes for updates. :D

Thanks for the heads up!

It looks hella cool to me, though if I was guessing, I would surmise based on the stock ua-5 it would be a good unit for modding.  I am betting less than 1000.

Ok so when can I order my Oade R-4 T-Mod ??  ;D

I'm guessing MSRP = $999. If this is near a $1k, I'm getting one.

I really don't think you're ever going to get a 4 channel recorder with phantom XLRs that will work for stealth.
