Sound
I am not a hi tech kind of guy. This thing is easy to use. The sound is always good. I bought to record the band but have found it a blast to use for all kinds of things. I don't see how it can be improved upon. The price is definitely right!
Features
Comes with a screw in handle that is threaded on the bottom. Convenient for using with a mike stand. Thanks for the built in light. FIRST CLASS!
Ease of Use
As I've stated, it's very easy to use. The manual couldn't be simpler to understand.
