Need to record audio from 6 wireless lav mics (simultaneously recording to 6 separate files). Is this unit meant for my use case?

You can use the 6 microphones, but the file will be only one, though it will contain six tracks.

You have 4 xlr and 2 quarter inch inputs. I know the wireless lav mics work on the 4 xlr's for sure but not sure on the 1/4". I guess it would depend on what outputs yo have on those. Hope that helps some!

It has 4 XLR inputs and two 1/4" TRS inputs so if your mic cables all end in xlr you will need two female xlr to male 1/4" TRS adaptors. As long as you have the proper adaptors it should work just fine. In the record settings you can set it up for individual files. The manual does a decent job of explaining inputs and set up and there are many tutorials on youtube on using this unit.

That will work well. Most wireless systems offer xlr or ¼" output. The Tascam DR680 offers 4 xlr/trs combo connectors and 2 trs connectors.As long as you can work with the two ¼" inputs at the end, you'll be fine. Even if your wireless system only has XLR output, you can still go from XLR to TRS, that's no problem. You'll just want to make sure you have the right cables.

And yes, you can get individual tracks. I usually set the tracks to mono and then you can access all 6 tacks individually

I recommend you read the manual. I'm using this unit for stereo recordings, but I believe there's a mono setting which would do that. Keep in mind there are only 4 XLR Powered connections

How many can your computer handle. So far, I use Reason 7.1 and have not recorded more than two. I have not had a need for it. I imagine I should be able to record 4 though. I hope this helps.

I would say yes, though of the bag of 5 that I received 2 of them had a high noise ratio when recording. I currently use one for voip that I clip to my shirt and it works perfectly on my laptop.

I don't think so. I never tried with mine, I only needed it to say one thing. It doesn't have the capability to separate messages when you're recording, so I'm going to say that no, it can't have more than one recording.

This product does not mix sound sources. So you could only have one selected at at time. Also, the system only accepts line level inputs, most wireless microphones output a mic level, a wireless microphone may not have enough signal to drive the inputs.

I use this as a wireless mic for video recording interviews/podcasts/etc. I recently tried to tie it in with an amp/speaker system for the speaker at an awards banquet and had no luck. To be honest, I had very little time to attempt to figure out a way to make it work. It may be possible. It just didn't work for me in that capacity.

It depends on two things - 1: what kind of mics you have and 2: if you need all of the audio recorded into separate channels on the computer. If you have 6 mics that are XLR or need phantom power, then this will not suit your needs - this can only power 4 XLR mics. (If you have what are called dynamic mics with 1/4" plugs - or self powered condensor mics that can use 1/4" jacks - then you are fine). For the second part (about separate channels) it really depends what you want to be able to do. The USB part of this mixer records just two separate channels into the computer - the same as the left and right main output of the mixer. So if you were to use 6 mics you would have them all recorded, but all together. (Thus, if someone was too quiet, you could not just turn them up after the fact.) You can use the panning to get two completely separate tracks, but that's clearly not enough for what you're trying to do. If you want to record all 6 tracks independently you will need something more expensive. I hope this helps!

Yes, as long as you have 2 separate mic Jacks on your mixer and/or powered speaker. The mics are on different frequencies so they shouldn't cause interference. I use 4 wireless mics but they are different brands and I never had an issue.

Yes, you can just use one of the built-in mics and it will take up less space. You can also use one built-in mic and one external input.

I havent used it a lot to record but i think it records individually. I will check it put and will update this answer if needed.

My answer is based on the assumption that the two units are identical. This would mean that the units would be using the same 4 frequencies for the mics. In this case you could not use them together because the mics which are on the same frequency will interfere with each other.

Not really, on this Item you may record only one message at a time. You may be looking for something like this other one: Multiple Message Recorder 208 Seconds Re-recordable Sound Module for Stuffed Animal Inserts, Craft Projects, School Presentations, Push Button Display Units (Push Button Attached By Wires)

The EIE 16 bit seems capable of recording 4 inputs at once... I have recorded three at once. So I would assume 4 would work just as well. I use Logic pro and the recording was just fine. I haven't done a successful test to see if It's capable of running two phantom power mics at once. But I only have one good condenser so not necessary at the moment. Hope that helps.

I don't think so. I believe if you're using the "mic in" slot it overrides the built-in microphone. Either way, it only records one track at a time.

This device is meant to combine 4 video surveilance cameras on a single cat 5 cable and split it back out in 4 channels for the recording/monitoring device. I have not tried it with audio, but it might workif the impedance isn't a problem.

no, you can not link 4 microphones to one device. However, you may try to use the audio mixer with 4 sets of microphones and Receivers.

I shoot DSLR video with multiple cameras. I wanted to find a way to mic up several people at once without having to buy multiple lav receiver/transmitters. (they are extremely expensive). I've was able to connect 5 lavalier mics to it. And plugged it into a Zoom H2N recorder. It works worked perfectly fine for me without any volume loss or audio degradation whatsoever. here the link to the lavs i used. http://www.amazon.com/Neewer-3-5mm-Hands-Computer-Microphone/dp/B005DJOI8I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382035340&sr=8-1&keywords=5x+lavalier And this is the audio recorder: http://www.amazon.com/Zoom-H2N-H2n-Handy-Recorder/dp/B005CQ2ZY6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382035397&sr=8-1&keywords=zoom+h2n
