Description:
A field recorder records audio. So does a multi-track recorder. So does a
USB audio interface. Seems silly to own three different machines that
all do basically the same thing, doesn't it? Zoom agrees. That's why
they designed the Zoom H4n. It combines the functions of a stereo field
recorder, portable digital four-track, and USB audio interface into a
single, no-compromise, audio recording wonder-tool that doesn't force
you to think about recording in one way or another. Capable of recording
up to four simultaneous tracks of audio, the H4n is a single piece of
pro-audio gear that can tackle a multitude of different audio tasks.
From creating song demos and recording location audio to capturing
ambient soundscapes, the Zoom H4n can do it all.
As A Stereo Field RecorderSometimes,
having just two tracks is plenty--that's what 2CH mode is for. We hear
in stereo, and the Zoom H4n's pair of detailed and accurate microphones
are arranged to capture a perfect stereo audio image every time you hit
record. The electret capsules have the nuance and complexity of
expensive studio condenser microphones, but don't have the same power
requirements and so won't drain the H4n's battery. The unit runs for
hours on four AA-batteries, but Zoom includes an AC adaptor in the box
for when an outlet is handy. Record stunning stereo audio in up to
24-bit/96 kHz resolution. Because the H4n can support up to 32GB
removable SDHC cards, you can record over 15 hours of uncompressed,
better-than-CD-quality digital audio (it ships with a 1GB card to get
started right away). In 2CH mode, the Zoom H4n is just about as good a
stereo recorder as you can get without spending thousands, but that's
just the beginning of what this unit can do.
Four Simultaneous Input ChannelsSwitch
over to 4CH mode, and the H4n becomes a very special field recorder
indeed. Just like on the original H4, the H4n sports a pair of
combination XLR / 1/4-inch input jacks, and just like on the H4, you can
hook up instruments, stereo mixing board feeds, dynamic mics or even
condenser microphones to these inputs. Except on the H4n you can use all
four inputs--your input jacks and the built-in mics--at the same time.
Imagine recording natural environments in quadraphonic surround, or
getting a simultaneous house and board mix of your band's next show, or
being able to record discrete audio of every instrument during
rehearsals, or. . . the list goes on and on. Suffice it to say, you'll
be tracking audio in ways you never could before.
Serious Multitrack Recording StudioIf
you're a singer-songwriter who's been deliberating between buying a
hi-fidelity field recorder and a digital multitrack, your search is
over. The Zoom H4n combines the convenience and sound quality of a
dedicated field recorder, and the mixing and editing functions of a
digital multi-track recorder. When in MTR (multi-track record) mode, the
H4n can record two-tracks simultaneously, but play back four tracks
independently, jut like digital four-track recorders that cost much
more. Use the H4n in MTR mode to build a song, overdub by overdub. track
the guitars, then the vocals, and add harmonies, lead parts, other
instruments, and more into the mix. There's a whole toolbox of
Zoom-designed effects like vocal processors, compression and reverbs,
and even an entire guitar and bass amp modeling suite for direct
recording of electric instruments. You'd think that an all-in-one unit
like the H4n would have to skimp on features in order to wear this many
hats, but not so. The Zoom H4n's comprehensive MTR mode alone would be
worth its modest price tag, but that's still not the total of what this
amazing recorder can do.
Direct-To-Computer Recording Over USB 2.0When
a song idea gets too big for the H4n's built-in functionality, you
don't have to throw the baby out with the bath-water. Simply dump the
audio files you've created onto your computer, load them into your audio
production software of choice, and use the H4n as a USB audio interface
to keep layering more tracks. You still get the 24/96 recording
resolution, you still benefit from those clean XLR-1/4-inch jacks and
preamps, and you get a super-fast USB 2.0 connection for fast file
transfers and reliable audio streaming to your software. To make the
most of your H4n, Zoom includes a copy of Cubase LE, one of the most
popular programs in the world for computer-based, multi-track recording.
Has
there ever been a single piece of recording gear as versatile,
convenient, and at the same time affordable as the Zoom H4n? We don't
think so. Is there anyplace better than zZounds to get it from? Of
course not!
Representing the next level of professional recording
performance, the H4n delivers superior audio quality and dramatically
improves the user experience. Zoom's most sophisticated handheld
recorder to date will amaze, no matter the application.
Unique X/Y mic design captures perfect stereo imagesThe
H4n's onboard X/Y stereo condenser mics are arranged with the right and
left mics on the same axis. This design ensures that the mics are
always equidistant from the sound source for perfect localization with
no phase shifting. Frequency response remains uniform throughout your
recording. The result is great stereo recording with natural depth and
accurate imaging every time.
The mics also adjust for variable
recording patterns at either 90 or 120 degrees. Our unique design lets
you rotate each mic capsule from 90 (standard) to 120 degree
(wide-angle) stereo for the ultimate versatility in any recording
situation.
Why four channels are better than two.Everyone
knows that proper miking is essential to making a great recording. The
H4n is the only handheld recorder that allows you to record on four
channels simultaneously by using its onboard mics with either external
mics or direct inputs. You can then use its built-in mixer to blend the
channels for perfectly balanced recordings. Now your recordings can be
richer than ever before.
Or, to get a great recording of a live
performance, use the H4n's onboard mics to get a room mix while
simultaneously recording a stereo mix from the mixing board for a live
recording that is easily one of the best you've ever heard.
And
for media and filmmakers, the H4n makes it easy to record "high
definition" audio at 24-bit/48kHz with booms, handhelds or lavaliers
while gathering atmospheric audio with the onboard mics. The H4n also
supports Broadcast Wave Format (BWF) so your recorded files carry time
stamp information. You can even set markers (cue points) during
recording or playback.
For even more versatility, the H4n also
features a Mid-Side stereo decoder that allows you to utilize this
classic microphone setup. The H4n converts the mid and side channels
into a conventional stereo (L/R) signal for even more versatility... and
it's only found on the H4n.
It's all in the preamp...The
H4n's new mics and four channel recording ability, in combination with
our new, digitally controlled, high-quality preamplifier renders audio
so precise, you'll sound like you recorded in a world-class studio. And
this new preamp means you can make recording level adjustments on the
fly. Of course, an automatic level setting function is also built-in to
optimize your levels as quickly as the situation requires.
High resolution, 24-bit/96kHz linear PCM recordingChoose
up to 24-bit/96-kHz linear PCM WAV files for audio resolution that
surpasses DVD quality. Or, when maximum recording time with smaller file
sizes is desired, select a variety of MP3 formats from 320 kbps down to
48 kpbs to produce smaller files suitable for web or e-mail
distribution.
Secure your digital memories on SD and SDHC cardsThe
H4n uses compact SD or high-capacity SDHC memory cards of up to 32GB
for over 15 hours of recording time at 24-bit/96kHz. Or, using MP3
format at 128 kpbs, get over 550 hours of recording time on one card!
It's about the music.For
musicians and songwriters, the H4n is also a user-friendly, multi-track
studio (MTR) that records at CD quality, 16-bit/44.1kHz resolution.
Plug in your guitar or bass and use the H4n's classic amp models to
inspire your creativity and find tone perfection during your recording
sessions.
The MTR mode allows simultaneous 2-track recording and
4-track playback. With this feature, you can sketch songs by overdubbing
vocals and instruments with ease. Level and panning can be adjusted
individually for each track on the built-in mixer, and you can even do a
mixdown right on the H4n. Perfect for pre-production sessions with the
band.
The H4n offers a choice of 50 studio-quality DSP effects
including compressor, chorus, delay, and reverb. These onboard studio
effects, along with its tuner and metronome make the H4n very musician
friendly.
The H4n's phrase trainer capability makes learning new
songs easy with an adjustable playback feature that changes the speed
from 50 to 150 percent, while maintaining pitch. Or use its center
cancel feature to suppress audio that is recorded with center imaging.
And because the H4n lets you alter pitch without changing playback
speed, you can choose source material, suppress the center audio and use
it as a backing track while recording a vocal or guitar track.
And it's a USB audio interface!The
H4n also functions as a USB audio interface, letting you record
directly to either a Mac or PC. Use your favorite recording software or
the bundled Cubase LE 4 from Steinberg, so you can start to produce and
edit your recording right out of the box.
Everyone likes surprises...just not while you're recording.You
can set your H4n to automatically record whenever sound above a
designated level is detected. This ensures that you capture everything
of importance while minimizing blank sections such as when recording a
conference or lecture. The H4n can also be set to continuously record
the most recent two seconds of audio in memory. Now, you'll never miss
the beginning of anything you want to record, even if it begins
suddenly.
Brains and a body, too.The H4n has a new
rubberized, shock resistant chassis that improves durability while
reducing handling noise. A large, 1.9 inch LCD screen with backlit
graphic display shows all the tracking information at a glance and makes
it easy to navigate the functions of the unit. The H4n even has a
built-in reference speaker to let you check recordings without
earphones.
Faster file transferThe H4n is now a USB
2.0 Hi-Speed device, meaning that files can be transferred to your
computer at the highest rate available. Then use recording software for
editing, create your own original CDs, post your recordings on your
myspace page or send out your recordings by e-mail...the possibilities
are endless.
Stamina mode extends battery life to 11 hoursFor
situations where you require maximized, continuous recording operation
you can select stamina mode that effectively doubles battery life,
letting you record continuously for approximately 11 hours in
16-bit/44.1kHz linear PCM format.
Fully loaded.
A 1 GB SD
card, windscreen, mic clip adapter, AC adapter, USB cable, protective
case and Cubase LE recording software are included with your H4n. The
windscreen is especially helpful to reduce wind noise. The mic clip
adapter works perfectly when attaching the unit to a standard mic stand,
or you can use the built-in tripod mount with a standard camera tripod.
Go remote with the RC4An
optional remote control (RC4) gives you access to a range of functions
including recording start, play, stop, fast forward/reverse, recording
level adjustment, and input source switching. It is also useful for
preventing any handling noise.
The H4n is the epitome of
sophistication made simple. For anyone who needs professional recording
capability with extraordinary versatility, the H4n will give you the
ability to capture everything with the clarity and resolution previously
found only in the world's finest recording studios. You'll be amazed at
how easy it is to make world-class recordings, wherever you are in the
world.
