Power And Portability
The Zoom H4 Handy Recorder gives you mobile, multi-track recording in the palm of your hand. When you need portability and professional results, the Zoom H4 Digital Recorder is the perfect choice for that challenging mobile recording project. This light-weight digital recorder includes 2 studio-quality condenser microphones configured for true stereo recording and 2 XLR-1/4 inch combo jacks with 48v phantom power to accept your favorite dynamic or condenser microphones. Use a cardioid mic to focus on a specific audio source, rejecting unwanted ambient noise for a clean recorded track. For weak signals or low-talkers, a shotgun mic picks these up just as if you pressed your H4 right up to the sound source.
Awesome Capabilities
You can switch it into 4-track recording mode and use those combo inputs with a direct guitar, bass, or keyboard signal. You can also tap into a feed from the mixing board for larger projects. Songwriters will also appreciate the multi-tracking capabilities, allowing you to blend your voice with a guitar or keyboard for quick, easy scratch-demos of your latest ideas. Use the H4 for sound-effects and sample gathering, speeches, live music and podcasting projects. The Zoom H4 even comes with a tripod mounting-sled (tripod stand not included) for long recording sessions. Place it on a table when using the onboard mics, or tuck it away in a corner with a long XLR cable and you can capture your audio in comfort, no matter how long the session lasts. Just supply your own tripod stand. The H4 even has a 1/8 inch stereo miniplug connection that lets you actively monitor the incoming signal with your headphones. Adjust the input level and add compression, limiting, and mic modeling effects, all in real-time to be sure your tracks sound their best when recorded so editing goes smoother.
Store Your Masterpiece
The Zoom H4 includes a 512 MB SD media card for archiving and transport of your project data. The onboard SD slot will handle up to 2 GB media cards, giving you access to 380 minutes of 16-bit CD-quality audio, or 34 hours of stereo MP3 audio. If pristine quality is key for you, sample rates of up to 24-bit, 96 kHz are available. For larger files, the integrated USB interface can offload your tracks to an external storage device. Run your H4 for up to 4 hours on just two AA batteries or use the included AC adapter for longer sessions.
H4 Computer Interface
Plug the included USB cable into a Mac or Windows computer, and you've got a powerful digital recording interface. To handle the incoming audio, this recorder comes bundled with Cubase LE, a 48-track digital audio workstation. Edit, mix, and master your projects in this digital software environment for an unprecedented level of control. You'll have all the tools you need to do your best work.
