I’ve been using this pod track and microphones for two years and love them. Would recommend buying a larger SD card for storage.The arms didn’t hold position very well, so I have not used those very much.

Ordered this package thinking it would be the PERFECT way to start a podcast room. The controller is FANTASTIC, HOWEVER, the arms are NOT made by Zoom and two came BROKEN. We could only use Two of the Four and I ended up getting brand new arms from another company. Maybe just by the mics and the controller and NOT the arms in this kit. Shame, the kits is AMAZING except for the arms, they are HORRIBLE and I ended up throwing them in the trash before I even had an opportunity to use theme since they came broken. They were CHEAP and that is why I decided to Keep the kit and just buy $80 arms (4 of them) for my room. MUCH better now. If you get this kit, have a BACK UP plan for the arms that hold the mics. Like I said, two on mine were broken right out of the box. I tried to work with Amazon but all you get is a canned reply to any questions so I just bought BETTER arms. Plus they will last a LOT longer.

We debated between various brands of podcast equipment when we built our studio. We decide the P8 because it had more inputs than any of its competitors and the built-in editor was simple to use. NOTE: All the inputs are XLR, not a problem for us since all our mics for PA are XLR. We also like that we can door outdoor live event podcast running from batteries. Can’t wait for the summer.Each channel has a limiter and compressors that really works. Even I sound like a DJ.

Needed to up my podcast set up. This was pretty much plug and play and much easier to use than my workhorse H6
