Based on market popularity and available features, the Roland R-26 was one of the finalists in our review to be the best portable recording device for creative professionals. With six-track recording and dual XLR inputs, you can record extremely high-quality audio.
This and the Tascam DR-100 are highly similar recorders. Some of the few differences are important in actual use: Roland: 4 AA batteries Tascam: 2 AAs and/or a rechargeable Li-Ion battery Roland: no locking XLR connectors Tascam: locking XLR connectors Boom.
I like the fact that there are some external controls...dials and such, but I still find that there is a level of complexity to dig through layers of menues to adujust sensitivity and gain on seperate channels as well as to montitor each on seperate.
