Yes I know it’s an old thread but I’m kinda new to the Zoom. Yes, -40dB attenuators are in order to manage the overload. I also use this device as a 4 channel field recorder, using an unbalanced 3.5mm TRS breaking out to 2 XLRs. Keeping the runs short and using the old-time prevention methods of keeping the AC lines at a distance, it works great. Cumbersome yes, but for $300?? Such the deal.
