There really are some things a video can communicate that a simple press release could not. For example, the press release on the new Tascam DR-08 Portable Recorder probably describes the unit's new flexible mic positioning system, but a few seconds of video footage communicates dramatically what this means for musicians, sound designers, and recording hobbyists who'll be excited to try out the new DR-08.

So go ahead, buffer these 57 seconds, make a few kernels of popcorn, pour out an ampule of your favorite Chianti, and be mesmerized by the Tascam DR-08 and its free-swiveling mic heads.
