1st product review

            The first product review I’m doing is on the Zoom H4n portable digital audio recorder. This amazing recorder features the following:

·       Built-in X/Y stereo mics that record at either 90º or 120º

·       Four channel simultaneous recording using built-in and external mics

·       Large 1.9 inch LCD screen and improved interface for easy operation

·        MP3 recording for increased recording time

·        Built-in reference speaker to check recordings

·        Shock resistant rubberized body for improved chassis protection

·        Broadcast Wave Format (BWF) compatible time stamp and track marker

·        Auto-record and pre-record feature so you never miss a moment

·        Variable speed playback capability for "phrase training"

·        Stamina mode enables 10 hours of continuous battery life

·        Onboard mid-side matrix decoder for additional miking possibilities

·        Built-in mounting joint for tripod and mic stand mounting

·        USB 2.0 port for faster file transfer

·        XLR inputs with phantom power allow recording with any mic

·        Supports plug-in power type external mics

·        Hi-Z Inputs for recording guitar and bass

·        Studio effects onboard, including guitar and bass amp modeling

·        USB audio interface capability

·        Low-cut filter to reduce noise

·        Normalizing and file splitting functions

·        Mono mix function

·        Onboard tuner and metronome

·        Includes 1 GB SD card, wind screen, mic clip adapter, AC adapter, USB cable, protective case and Cubase LE recording software

·        Optional remote control (ZOOM-RC4) available

In short this digital recorder is extremely user friendly. It has very powerful microphones that can pick up even the faintest whispers. It is slightly on the expensive side but really worth the money. It does come with a USB cable for quick transfer and can hold a 32 gb SD/SDHC card. I personally love stamina mode, this allows for up 11 hours of recording time. The recorder is heavy and a little on the bulky side, but nothing that can’t be overlooked.
