Review: Con casi 50 años, habiendo vivido la época en la que nos grababamos con un cassette en medio del local, este aparato me parece magia. Para un batería, el poder llevarte del local las pistas a casa en una sd y luego mezclarlo tranquilamente en el PC de casa es un sueño hecho realidad
Review: Après quelques tests du Zoom R20, je trouve qu'il est très facile à prendre en main. Le seul hic, c'est qu'il faut acheter en complément de quoi multiplier les sorties de casques car je vais m'en servir pour faire du podcast et il lui faut un boitier amplifié pour brancher d'autres casques. Mais sinon, le tactile est agréable et rien à signaler, c'est un bon rapport qualité prix. De nouvelles mises à jour seraient les bienvenues...

Preso per registrare amatorialmente delle sessioni di prova. Numero di canali un po’ limitato e sarebbe comodo avere prese combinate xlr-trs su tutti i canali, ma per il suo prezzo sono soddisfattissimo
