"I really like the DR-40 so far!"

Sound: I have been very happy with the sound so far. Feature: The XLR's are a great addition. I was prepared to purchase the DR07mkII when I saw this one. It doesn't appear you can set the XLR levels individually. That would be a nice addition. The line in allows you to hook your mixer's balanced outputs into the XLR jacks....this opens up a whole new set of options. Ease of Use: The menus are fairly intuitive. I have checked out the manual for some items, but I think most people could figure out the basics by playing around with it, as I did. Quality: The DR40 seems reasonably well made. It seems like it could last awhile, although it IS mostly plastic. I would say it is comparable or better to other units of this type and price point. Value: I would compare this one to the Zoom H4N. There are pros and cons to each, but for my personal needs, the Tascam had what I wanted at around $100 less. The unit is worth the price. However, if you want a longer USB cable, windscreen, desk tripod, carrying case, or any other accessories, you have to pay extra for them. And they aren't cheap. ($30 for the power supply, $50 for the "dead cat") Manufacturer Support: I have not dealt with the Tascam support and therefore cannot rate it. The Wow Factor: If you are looking for a portable digital recorder with a lot of options, this should definitely be a model to consider. Overall: If something happened to this one, I would definitely want to get another one.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "High quality recorder"

Overall: This thing works great! Very good quality recordings through the built-in condensers, and the line/mic inputs are great too. I use the external mike inputs to check the miking of my drum kit. (very useful as there isn't always someone to play it for me while I listen from the back of the venue). I did have to spent some hours reading the manual and learning the menus, but it's a high quality tool and does everything it claims. it was worth every penny.
