Zoom R8 Multitrack SD Recorder Interface and Controller
The Zoom R series was designed to give musicians a portable recording command center that doubles as a digital audio interface for either Mac or PC. Using SDHC/SD memory cards for storage, every recorder in the R series features multiple channels of simultaneous recording, playback, and control for optimal musical blend, balance, and precision. The R8 is a lite version of the R24, operating in the same 4 major capacities, as a recorder, interface controller, and as a sampler, but with reduced functionality. However, the R8 is lighter and less expensive than either the R16 and R24 and is simple to learn, perfect for those who like to plug-and-play.
The R8 provides you with two channels of simultaneous recordings--capable of running on phantom power. Eight channels of playback allow you to easily monitor and quickly blend your recording directly from the console.
