Customers like the quality of the sound and recording equipment. They mention it's a solid little recorder, easy to learn, and an excellent piece of equipment for its price. The recording quality is superb, especially at high sampling rates. The device records great, even though the omni mics are omnidirectional. Overall, customers say it'd be an excellent way to record rehearsals for reference.

Good recorder but...

Good recorder but...
I like Tascam products. I have a rack mounted digital recorder, a CD player and a small digital recorder. The 100mkII is also a very good recorder but I have some complaints: The battery life is short maybe because it uses only 2 cells. The volume control is very close to the phone jack making adjustment a bit dificult. The door of the AA cells seems the door of a cheap toy; it could be more robust. Apart from these minor details I'm well satisfied with the product.
