Keep Your Podcasting on the Right Trak

Portable and packed with full-scale podcasting and livestreaming potential, Zoom's PodTrak P4next makes the process of defining a professional podcast mix a seamless feat virtually anywhere. Armed with four XLR inputs with high-gain preamps and +48V phantom power on each channel to accommodate the highest quality microphones, the PodTrak P4next supplements your rig with AI Noise Reduction, Tone effect controls, EQ, de-essing, and a master compressor to keep your audio clean and consistent with little to no disruptions from your environment. Keeping tabs on everyone's signals is no issue either, thanks to four onboard headphone outputs with individual volume controls for convenient monitoring wherever you decide to record, and you can even record remotely via TRRS or USB connection. Speaking of which, USB-C power and operation via two AA batteries make the PodTrak P4next easy to integrate into any recording space, whether on the road or within the comfort of your own home. The ability to record in 24-bit/48kHz audio resolution is a must-have for anyone who works with video, and the P4next lets you record a stereo mix at this industry-standard resolution right to the interface itself via SDHC slot (2TB SD card sold separately), directly to your iOS/Android device, or to your macOS or Windows-based computer. Topped off with four sound pads for playing pre-recorded sounds or your own uploaded samples, Sweetwater podcasters and live streamers rely on the Zoom PodTrak P4next to keep their workflows efficient and their content compelling.

Professional sound instantly

With the clever onboard features and high-quality mic preamps of the Zoom PodTrak P4next, fixing in post is a thing of the past! First, each XLR input sports a preamp with +48V phantom power on each channel as well as +70dB of gain, so you're free to use even the most demanding professional microphones in your arsenal. Next, AI-assisted noise reduction deftly stops any buzz, hum, or background noise in its tracks. Then, the P4next's Tone control adds immediate professional qualities to your voices with de-essing and EQ to tame sibilance. There's also an integrated compressor for keeping everyone's levels consistent for an enjoyable experience all episode long. Finally, bring in two guests remotely via USB, TRRS, or Bluetooth via the BTA-2 Bluetooth adapter (sold separately), and the P4next's built-in mix-minus feature will remove echo and feedback automatically.

Support your brand and your audio both

The four sound pads that adorn the P4next let you play pre-recorded air horn, applause, laughter, and rimshot sounds. However, you can also record directly to the pads or upload your own sound effects, theme music, sponsor advertisements, and more. The P4next doesn't just help your audio; it also helps grow your brand!

Reviews

SOOOOOO Worth it!
Previously used a rack (gates/comp/EQ/Preamp & headphone amp) for an adequate sounding podcast. Does ALL that. EQ? Great (& optional)! Compression? GOOD (& optional)! Noise gate? Usable & fully functional (again optional)! Add good mics/phones & it offers professional level results if used properly. U can still tailor front end, (bring your rack of magic) but I wouldn't. Consistency is a thing for pro level broadcasting (IMO). Easy call in guests (mix minus included). 4 effects pads (or for bumper music. Note: requires pre-prod for bumper audio level & fade in/out if desired). Stores sound efx/bumpers on board (microSD) to be assigned 4 at a time. Runs on 2 AA's (but w/phantom engaged only lasts about 2 hours). USB C power port (works w Power bank & A/C plug to USB C) which is my recommendation for powering. A+ for options & value @ this price point. Only weaknesses thus far are low powered phones amp (4 indiv outs/volume controls nice tho) & Phantom must be On ALL 4 CHANNELS or OFF (all 4 channels). Must plan mics in advance (All condenser/active ribbon or all dynamic passive). All condensers work for me.

Easy to use and sounds good
I've just recorded a couple of projects and it is easy to set up and get started. I'm looking forward to recording a phone conversation.
Excellent podcast recorder
Fantastic upgrade to our podcasting remote kit. The compression is solid and the noise reduction really works! I highly recommend this recorder.
Powerful Game Changer for My Travel Podcast Bag!
Excited about using my new podtrak! I trained a young couple on how to podcast and we ordered them one as well to start podcasting. Its is a great piece of equipment to add to your collection!!

Great beginning podcasting tool!
This has been great to work with high school students just starting out with podcasting and learning the basics. My only complaint is that it doesn't have a direct power source because the batteries don't seem to last very long.
