I wonder what Tascam will be coming out with...
And how many indie film types will need four (4) XLR inputs?
It'll likely be an improvement on the H4n but I reckon the preamps are still going to be pretty poor
Numbers I heard for the preamps were in the -120 dBu range, which puts it on par with the Tascam dr100mk2, which is fairly good. The h4n and DR-40 have similar amounts of noise from what I've read, which is noticeably more noisy around -107dBu.It'll likely be an improvement on the H4n but I reckon the preamps are still going to be pretty poor, also not so sure about the interchangeable mics nice idea though.
For anyone interested, I found an actual review of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz-ChrknfbI
As a result, after the filming I returned the dr-40 and upgraded to the H6. I'm hoping the preamps are better, and all claims are that they are. The only thing I think I'll miss are the locking XLRs, and that's kind of a small issue (at least until one of them falls out).
You bet. But because I returned the DR-40, I can't do a direct comparisonIf you can let us know how you find the H6, particularly the preamps.
I have a Tascam DR-40 but mine does not exhibit the problems you noted.
