I’ve been using my Tascam FR-AV2 as a portable recorder with pluggy mics directly into the XLR inputs.

Unfortunately Tascam has Inputs 1 (Left) and 2 (Right) positioned differently to Zoom, and screen up the mic pointing right is the left channel, and the mic pointing left is the right channel. I don’t really want to be fixing later so have been placing the recorder face down, which is not ideal. I’ve read the manual to determine if there is a way to switch channels but can’t see anything. I would be grateful if someone can tell me if I’m missing something obvious.

I notice that Immersive Soundscapes have a new product that is very interesting. I have some MKH8040 mics and this could be the ultimate portable recorder. It’s just the channels the wrong way round that’s a bit annoying.

Can't you just rotate it 180º?

Yes, that’s putting the recorder face down on the surface.

Well, then flip it 180º the other way..

Gotcha. I kind of misinterpreted your previous post, as I was looking at the orientation in the photo. Obviously, though, you would be using it horizontally and not vertically...

Gotcha too. I didn’t know if I was being dumb.

Actually vertical orientation does make sense as upwards facing inputs gives a lot more options with the adapters available. I’ve considered it, with some sort of stand attached, but it would be a lot less stealth like and I like to make recordings unnoticed.
