    Very neat Portable can take live calls for podcasts simple to use. Pads can be changed and it can operate off battery power. One improvement could be bluetooth for wireless headphones. The headphones are an 1/8 inch jack

    My 1 PodTrak P4 downside.

    After much research, I decided to purchase my Zoom PodTrak P4 only because the latest version was not available. I wanted to use it for podcasting and it does the job. Recently I created a documentary and I use my Zoom H5 and my PodTrak P4 for alternate audio sources and my PodTrak P4 produced the better quality. The only downside is I would like to use my Zoom H5 as a mic and route it through my PodTrak but It does not seem to be a way to do it with out generating a lot of noise.

    Use this both for podcast recording and as a field audio recorder for video shoots. Great audio, features, and as a bonus file transfer for post-production is straightforward. Best to pair it with a battery bank if you are recording in the wild.

    We use this unit for our podcast and it is truly excellent! It records a mixed-down version and also individual files. I really only used the mixed down one because it sounds nice enough on its own. Mic preamps are clean and quiet. If you have a nice microphone (We are using AKG c3000b) you will get a nice sound.

    Love how this device makes audio files, it makes a file with all input mics in one audio file (great for podcasts), also love how it has individual audio files for all input mics.

    Pretty solid product. Plug in play, so perfect for remote hosts that might be technically challenged. If you are using a Shure SM7B for a mic, you still need a cloud lifter. Giving it 4 stars because I used curbside pickup at our Best Buy, and after waiting for 15 minutes, I decided to go inside.
