A: It states on the back " Designed in Japan, assembled in China"
Q: Does this have a voice change feature?
A: I have used these for several years, Although I have never needed this feature on this device, I have never seen where it did. I always use an external system to get those kind of features. I's a great recorder tho.....
Q: why isn't a protection plan offered for this product?
A: undefined
Q: What are the temperature ranges for safe operating
A: undefined
Q: Is this good to record acoustic instruments? Piano or organ?
A: Yes! Any instrument. Even vocals or a choir.
A: Zoom does actually offer an extension cable for the swappable microphone capsules. It's the "Zoom ECM-3 Extension Cable for Zoom Interchangeable Input Capsules", which sounds like what you're looking for. Just keep in mind that the gain knob for the microphone module is on the module itself, which would be at the end of the boom pole if you mount it there. This might make setting levels a tad more difficult than if it were on the recorder itself, but once they are set, it shouldn't be an issue.
