Recommendations

For best results, run the latest firmware, use quality XLR microphones with the Revolution Preamps™ to minimise noise, and create channel presets for recurring setups (podcast, music, live stream). When recording remote guests, use the dual USB or Bluetooth connections to manage separate input sources and maintain multitrack recordings for post-production.
