The LS-P4 performs far better when recording than do the older DM models, no 
comparison actually.
As I said in a previous message, playback on the internal speaker is a little 
compressed but to me that’s a minor irritation as that problem can be easily 
fixed by listening through headphones or streaming to a Bluetooth device, take 
your pick.
The LS-P4’s “Auto” Recording Level arrangement is superb as the recorder uses a 
“Look Ahead Buffer” rather than an AGC so n=no need for any “Smart Level” 
function as found on the LS-14.
The LS-P4 does have a downside, you can’t record to the FLAC format whilst you 
have a Bluetooth device connected but at least you can record to Wave at 
96KHZ/24 bit should you want to.
Again this recorder may not be any good to you as it doesn’t have XLR inputs.
