I love this. I think I need 2. If you think 4 is to small, try a PR-8
Sound
Sounds fairly transparent, and input sensitivity was consistant throughout the 4 balanced XLR inputs.
Features
Standard features inlude XLR balanced inputs, and 48V phantom power. This unit has unbalanced outputs though, but if you are just making short-runs (to your DAW), you should be comfortable using the PR-4.
Quality
Very sturdy case. All metal construction. Could use a set of rack-mount "ears" to make it a road unit.
Value
For the money, every budding engineer should have one.
Manufacturer Support
Have not had to contact SMPro Audio for support.
The Wow Factor
It's not sexy at all, and it shouldn't be. It's basic audio gear. But it does have a pretty green light for power indication, and a green "clip" led on each channel.
