Zoom H2n Handy Recorder

Product Description

Representing a new generation of portable recording, the Zoom H2n is Zoom’s most innovative handheld recorder to date. New mics, new sound The Zoom H2n features Zoom&0s best microphones yet & is the only portable recorder with five mic capsules onboard. This design enables the H2n to offer four unique recording modes: Mid-Side (MS) stereo, 90° X/Y stereo, 2-channel & 4-channel surround sound. The first portable Mid-Side recorder The Zoom H2n is the first handheld recorder to offer Mid-Side stereo recording, a technique used for many years in film & broadcast, where ambiance & surrounding noise are crucial. Mid-Side recording combines a uni-directional Mid mic that captures sound directly in front of you and a bi-directional Side mic that captures sound from your left & right. By increasing or decreasing the level of the Side mic, you can control the width of the stereo field, which gives you incredible flexibility over your recordings. If you record in RAW mode, you can even adjust the stereo width after recording. You still get X/Y… The H2n’s onboard 90° X/Y stereo condenser mics are arranged with the right & left mics on the same axis. This design ensures that the mics are always equidistant from the sound source for perfect localization and no phase shifting. The result is brilliant stereo recording with natural depth & accurate imaging. Completely surrounded Using the H2n’s Mid-Side & X/Y mics together, you can create stunning 360-degree surround sound recordings. Choose between 2-channel mode, which combines the Mid-Side & X/Y mics, & 4-channel mode, which records two separate stereo files, allowing you even more post-production capability. No matter which mode you use, you’ll get perfectly balanced, surround sound recordings. Streamline your recording experience The H2n is remarkably easy to use. With its newly designed user interface, critical controls are right at your fingertips & make studio-quality recording a breeze.   The H2n also houses an arsenal of comprehensive functions, including Auto-Gain, a compressor/limiter, time stamping & more.

Whether you experience battery loss or an accidental power-down, this feature will automatically restore your data the next time the H2n is powered on. 20 hours of battery life The H2n provides over 20 hours of continuous operation on just two standard AA alkaline batteries! This astonishing feature enhances the H2n’s flexibility & convenience. In addition, the H2n can also operate using an AC adapter, which is included in the optional APH-2n Accessory Pack.
