Interesting - 4 independent RCA outs - one for each channel...

And perhaps smarter level control? - (or at least an attempt at it) looks like a ganged pot - sensitivity and level. Nice - but looks too easy move the wrong knob...

Looks like a more basic edition of the R-4s...?

Looks like phantom power can be enabled per channel rather than in pairs.  This would be useful in an on-stage/sbd scenario where it's a mono mix where you may want to spot mic something.

The drawback of 8GB SD card could become an issue when running 4 channel 24/96.  If the set goes over 2 hours, you'll have to have a 'card-flip' in there somewhere.

It seems to be the R-4 Pro stripped down with a few essential differences:

-solid state vs. internal HD
-phantom by individual channel rather than pairs
-XLR/TRS combo inputs vs. XLR only
-s/pdif vs. AES/EBU digital I/O (open questions: is the s/pdif bit perfect or not? is digi+analog w/ sync to digi-in possible?)
-wordclock/remote sync via 1/8" stereo mini cable to link 2 devices
-smaller and lighter (may affect its mod-ability due to less space inside for swapping components?)

sweet.
what a perfect little B format recorder (or A format) for you soundfield / Tetra fans.
Double MS as well.

so 8gb is the SD max ? 
I believe that isn't enough if that's the case.
still, sweet little box.

Wow!  That looks tiny.  Much smaller and cleaner than the regular R4.

Hmm.  Just when you think you've got the perfect setup, something new comes along!  Worse than the PC/computer world it seems...

it says it takes SDHC, 16 GB are common .they claim up to 32GB, but I have not seen one.

Linkable for up to 8 Tracks of recording.  Nice for getting the subgroup output of a small board.

I like the OLED display as well.  Battery life on internals is so-so. 

Wonder if it has to be modded for Condensers and rock shows?
