The R-4 is intuitive and easy to use.

There are four separate mic inputs on combined XLR and TRS sockets, with phantom power switchable for chs 1/2 and 3/4. There are separate level controls for each of the channels, and you can mix them into stereo or mono final files.

Input levels are shown on the easy-to-read screen and starting to record is as simple as pressing the Record button.

When it comes to changing the settings, diving into the menu is straightforward with a combination of Up, Down, Left and Right buttons doing the business.

Without using instruments, but relying on version 1.24 ears, recorded noise seems very low.

Files are saved to hard disk or Compact Flash cards; hard disk is the more economical option, with nearly 60 hours possible at uncompressed CD-quality. This makes the R-4 almost indispensable for long recording sessions away from base. I would guess hard disk is the way that recorders are going to go - the same as MP3 players - so when you add the cost of two or three CF cards to the price of other recorders, the £649 price tag starts to look like a bit of a bargain.
