Omaha, NE – New School Audio, an online company specializing in audio equipment review and marketing, has recently released a review of the new Zoom R16 Portable Recorder Interface, a multi-track stand-alone recording system that functions as a recorder, audio interface and controller. The review, seen at www.newschoolaudio.com/zoom-r16, was written to help shoppers make informed decisions about the features they need when choosing a stand-alone multi-track recording unit.

“In use, the Zoom R16 works pretty intuitively. It’s easy to use – simply connect your sound source and you can hear the mix directly from the Zoom R16 using either the stereo outs (for monitors) or through your single headphone out,” said John Redick, Founder and Webmaster of New School Audio.

A portable recorder, the Zoom R16 comes as a compact, rugged little box with USB input, eight analog inputs, and built-in microphones. The Zoom R16 may be powered by USB, AC, or six AA size batteries, which can power the device for 4 hours. The portable device also functions as an audio interface allowing the user to record directly into a Mac or PC.

“The Zoom R16 is a quiet machine, which certainly is a bonus when you’re doing room recordings. You have the option to enable up to 99 automated and manual drop-ins for longer recordings (like live gigs),” added Redick.

Aside from equipment reviews, New School Audio also offers mixing and mastering tips, studio sound and live sound tips, and the latest on audio news.
