Compact Recorder with a Ton of Features!
The new Zoom H4 4-track recorder fits in the palm of your hand and is perfect for just about any mobile recording application. It's a multi-function device with a 4-track mode for easy-to-use multitrack work, a stereo mode (2-track) for handy field recording, and even a USB interface for computer recording. The high-quality X/Y pattern stereo microphones give you great sound reproduction and an accurate stereo picture, while features like phantom-powered XLR inputs, built-in effects, and flexible recording options make the H4 a powerful compact recorder.

The H4 features dual electret condenser mics built in plus two XLR/1/4" combination jacks with 48-volt phantom power. A hi-Z input handles guitars and basses. The H4 is loaded with recording effects (compressor, limiter, and mic modeler for stereo mode) and guitar effects drawn from the Zoom G2.

Thanks to the direct hardware monitoring function, there is no latency problem, you can hear what you're recording as you're playing it

“totally killer tool!
i use this on my couch with an acoustic guitar to get ideas down. bring it out to record a rehearsal quick and easy, or a gig at a local bar. just make sure you set the mic gain to lo (-40db) and get some distance. the autogain and limit feature are decent for capturing a jam to keep ideas around. finally -- i've set the input to 1/2 - set the gain on lo - and run...” Read More

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "The Zoom H4 is so versatile and easy to use. It's ideal for songwriters, musicians, Foley artists, public speakers, podcasts, and so many other applications. If you're looking for a handheld recorder don't look any farther than the Zoom H4. The ability to use the H4 as an audio interface makes this handheld valuable to everyone. Don't be the last person on earth to discover this incredible device. "
Phil Basile

  "This is one of the best multi-purpose recorders on the market. Why do I sell it?Versatility! The ability to add your own condenser mics is one of my favorite features. Data transfer is a breeze and you can use this as an audio intreface. I can see this in the hands of any sound designer, field recorder, videographer or sample junkie. I have one sitting next to me right now and can't wait to walk around the downtown area recording sounds to add to my music later. Also, it's easy to use!"
