The Zoom H2n offers a powerful set of features for one-mic recording, making it perfect for chamber ensembles, string quartets, and small jazz combos. This versatile recorder boasts the ability to capture 96 kHz/24-bit audio files, catering to the needs of studio enthusiasts. Its switchable array of five microphones provides an immersive audio experience, appealing to recording enthusiasts.
Beyond its recording capabilities, the H2n also functions as a 4-in/2-out USB audio interface, allowing users to record multi-tracked audio directly to their computers. Podcasters can even utilize the unit as a USB microphone. The recorder features a simple dial on top, enabling users to switch between traditional XY stereo, 2-channel surround, 4-channel surround, and a mid-side stereo mode. The mid-side mode offers the flexibility to adjust the width of the stereo field, and when recording in RAW mode, users can even tweak the field after the recording is made.
The H2n records to widely available SD and SDHC flash memory cards, supporting capacities up to 32GB. With a 32GB card, users can capture up to 50 hours of CD-quality WAV files or up to 555 hours of stereo 128 kb/s MP3 files. An integrated reference speaker helps to review recordings and ensure everything has been captured correctly.
The streamlined and intuitive interface of the H2n puts critical controls right at the user's fingertips. The large 1.8" backlit LCD display makes it easy to navigate through system menus and monitor audio levels. The onboard metronome and tuner functions are particularly helpful when recording musicians. Additionally, the ability to loop playback and adjust pitch and speed independently makes the H2n an ideal tool for phrase training. Users can also insert up to 99 marks per recording to create locate points, split files into smaller chunks, and normalize files for maximum gain.
The H2n's USB port allows it to function as a 4-input / 2-output audio interface, enabling users to utilize it as a USB microphone. Simply connect the H2n to a laptop or desktop computer via USB, launch a favorite DAW or use the included WaveLab LE software, and start laying down tracks.
The Zoom H2n's five built-in microphones, arranged in both X/Y and MS ("Mid-Side") patterns, can be used separately for stereo recording or combined to create stunning 2- or 4-channel surround sound. This versatility makes the H2n an ideal choice for a wide range of recording applications.
The bundle includes the Zoom H2n Handy Recorder, the Zoom SPH-2n Accessory Pack for the H2n, and a Black Cleaning Cloth, providing users with a comprehensive package to enhance their recording experience.
