I'm partial to the Roland R-26 as a basic field recorder with built-in mics, XLR inputs, and phantom power. It's nothing fancy, but can handle some abuse, and I appreciate having independent gain adjustment for the inputs. The specs allow you to record up to 6-channels, but it's really going to be some combination of 2 XLR OR 2 1/4" channels + stereo from the built-in mics + stereo from a mini-plug. If you want something that will handle more than 2 external pro mics, this isn't it.
It's similar to the Zoom H4n, which is also an OK basic field recorder w/ XLR inputs and phantom power, but which requires you to use the menu interface to control gain during recording. -Jason Halprin Jason Halprin jihalp...@gmail.com jasonhalprin.com <jihalp...@gmail.com>
