Oh yeah the other cool thing about the LS 100 is that it talks. But it's a pro device. It has almost no hiss. Just like the Sound Devices recorders. Man I love the $6000 788-T. It's like Neal's 44-T but with 8 inputs. So again, 7.1 surround recording.

Super epic right enough if you could manage to juggle all the complexities in such a project, particularly with a visual impairment. But I suppose if one had the motivation, then why not. For me, managing the X Y module was difficult enough, haha. I was actually about to purchase an Olympus device, which Neil Ewers also tested and recommended. What that device had something like a limiter, wherein you could ask your subject to be as loud as he can be and the device prevents you accidentally going above that level. That would be a good function on the H6 as it's really quite difficult through headphones when you are beginning to exceed a good volume level. One thing that I wish the H6 had was a method of preventing the volume knobs being accidentally turned. Perhaps a stiff click motion to the switch so that the volume could only be adjusted deliberately. Also, I know it sounds quite crass, but an automatic function, wherein, once you have attached all your mic's and even a line in, the device does the rest for you, taking out the floor noise as well as limiting the session. Well finally, there is a vast difference between the older H4n and the H6. Just wait for the H7 or H8 and perhaps it will prove impossible to make a poor recording. Very best wishes.
