Both my Canon ElluraMC2 and XL-1 record at 16-bit, 48khz. The XL-1 will record at 12-bit 32khz if you set it that way (or if you want to record 4 channels simultaneously you HAVE to record at 12-bit 32khz). -- Jeff Fay Media Services Technician Cooperative Extension Service College of Rural Alaska University of Alaska Fairbanks P.O.
