Details

Both the mic inputs and line inputs can be recorded simultaneously in four-track mode. The dual recording mode also captures a copy of your audio at a lower level as an insurance against distorted takes.

The SD-20M includes a battery backup system: AA batteries can keep recording for hours in case of power loss. A wired remote or footswitch can be attached to control recording and playback. In addition, variable speed playback allows the playback to be changed without affecting the pitch.
