a recent deal memo i received stated that the production company was not responsible for any damage to myself or my gear. when i emailed back asking about it, i was fired right away. definitely did not lose any sleep over losing that job.
Sorry Christian I read that someone did this recently, guess it wasn't you. I think the senator has a point, if smoke is coming out of your recorder I don't think anyone here can help you.
i had one for a bit but returned it. it sounds fantastic but has a very noticeable noise floor. going to pick up an omnigoose and see if it's any better.
