    When you need to record a concert event, and you have a good contact with the one handling the audio system, you will need this small device (with a self purchase connectors and adapters) to record clear high quality audio from the audio consoles. What more with 4 channel mode you can record live sounds from the audience and clean audio at the same time. What more if you can record clean instruments audio in one of the stereo tracks, and another stereo from in device XY microphone for vocals. Nevertheless you can do clean ASMR videos with this, provided you connect it with a good microphone.

    Plastic feel, scratch easily, and doesn't come with ac adapter (battery is the only power option). It has xlr lock and lots of button for fast configuration. A good companion for recording audio if you need to hook in boom mic or condenser mic. I use this to hook in my wireless mic and a condenser mic for interview.
