High Resolution 'dual recording' Portable Recorder

High resolution recorder, with a very handy trick up its sleeve. Yes, it offers up to 96kHz/24-bit WAV or MP3 recording to SD cards, and you can transfer recordings to computer through high-speed USB 2.0. Nothing new there. Use the built-in condenser microphones, or plug your own in. BUT the nice feature: NEW 'dual recording' allows you to record a copy of your audio at a lower level, so if the level suddenly jumps you have a backup / safety recording instead of a distorted mess. For anyone who has been burned by a scorched recording, you'll understand just how excellent this feature is!

Extra bonuses for the musican: Slow down recordings without changing the pitch, and there's also a metronome and built-in speaker.
