STUDIOPACK702 Studio Flash Recorder

I bought this kit to record my live practices using guitar, vocal and backings. Due to the low price of the kit, I didn't have any great expectations of the Mic and Headphones, but was pleasantly suprised that the mic had a solid weight and feel, similar to my Shure SM58. The mic also had a good range and sensitivity for the price and could be used with a PA. The headphones were also sturdy and comfortable with a reasonable sound quality.Recording is very simple, just requiring to insert a USB drive and pressing the record button. To play back, use the track selector control to find the track number that you want to play, then press the track selector control to show F01 on the screen, then press play. The instructions don't make that very clear. The quality of the recording is exactly what you hear out of any monitor connected while you are recording. So if you make a live performance and record at the same time, the recorded playback willl sound the same. There was no noticeable drop in the playback quality.The only real disappointment for me, reducing my star rating by one star, was that the mixer is not really a 7 channel unit. There is one dedicated Mic channel, with two paralleled inputs, XLR and Jack. You can also switch on phantom power for that channel and the pan moves the output between left and right as you would expect. The remaining channels are linked in pairs, so 2/3 are jack sockets that have a pan control that allows one socket to left and the othe to right. The left socket always records to the left channel and the right to the right channel, There is no way of recording input 3 to the left for instance.as the pan doesn't move inputs between left and right busses, merely reducing the level of one of the inputs.The second linked pair, 4/5 are the same as 2/3 but with RCA inputs. Inputs 6/7 are not conventional inputs, but control the levels of the USB input device.As a mixer, this unit is a 3 channel mixer with one Mono mic input and 2 stereo inputs plus a USB input. Equalisation is a very basic one knob tone control, with either treble boost or bass boost depending on which way you turn it. It also seems that as the treble is boosted, the bass is cut at the same time and vice versa.For me, the downside did not take away from the flexibility of a very useable live recording and rehearsing device and at the price, a worthwhile bit of kit, that at the moment is pretty much on it's own.RogerG

My daughter loves it

I returned it because the thumb drive didn't work at all rendering the whole thing useless. I bought something else that works.
