Two-channel USB audio interface
The Zoom H4n Pro is one of the top mobile audio recorders and offers a wide range of applications. Due to the excellent X/Y stereo imaging and the possibility to connect two additional microphones and a pair of headphones, the Zoom H4n Pro is perfectly suited to record audio material for movies.
Its very high maximum sound pressure limit, on the other hand, makes the H4n Pro an ideal companion at live concerts, and thanks to its compact dimensions and plug-in power, which also allows lavalier microphones to be connected, recording interviews is child's play. For those who want to record their musical ideas in the most versatile way possible and with excellent sound quality, the Zoom H4n Pro offers overdubbing and punch-in and acts as a two-channel USB audio interface.
High-Performance Mic Preamps
Like the H5 and H6, the H4N Pro features the popular high-fidelity, low-noise mic preamps, allowing you to record in fabulous 24-bit/96kHz quality. The noise floor of the Pro Versoin is significantly lower, and the sound is clearer.
The recording modes
The H4N Pro works in three different recording modes:
Stereo mode is recommended for recording acoustic instruments and dialogue, for example, as either the internal X/Y- or alternatively two external microphones can be used here.
In 4CH mode, two additional microphones can be processed simultaneously via the corresponding external microphone inputs in addition to the internal X/Y microphones.
The MTR mode turns the H4N Pro into a mobile four-track recording studio with built-in effects, overdubbing and punch-in function.
The H4n Pro is an excellent portable recorder for the price - but if you plan on using it for field recording or any other handheld operation, make sure you budget for an accessories kit such as the Rycote one which includes windshield, cradle and an adapter so it can be attached to a mic stand. The recording quality is excellent, the built in mics give great results and the ability to record in 4 tracks and add two more sources is perfect - BUT... handling noise is a massive issue and when used outdoors the slightest breath of wind will ruin any recording.
