Outputs: Monitor your performance with headphones or connect to external devices using the stereo 1/8” line output with dedicated volume control. Capture two seconds* of audio before you hit RECORD with the Pre-Record function and never miss the start of a great take. The Auto-Record and Auto-Stop functions allow the H4n Pro to automatically start and stop recording according to your designated levels. The preamps are surprisingly clear and quiet, I tried them with external condenser microphones - Rode NT2000 large diaphragm and T.Bone EM 9900 shotgun - both worked great for their own purposes.

There's plenty more on offer too, from compressors and low‑cut filters, to guitar amp and cabinet emulations (not the most authentic out there, but certainly passable for demo purposes), and distortion and delay‑based effects.

Built-in effects, including compression/limiting, low-cut filtering, modulation, reverb/delay and amp models road test : after three days recording - in the desert - the zoom performed sufficiently … the built in mics were fine for immediate or spontaneous use but I found the sound flat, without depth.

comparable with a 302 or 663 sound devices : not really but it’s not in the same price range, superior to Tascam DR 40 etc - yes definitely The unit comes with a good case to protect it when shoved in my bag with all the other things I need for my teaching day. It comes with a protective plastic shell case, which is nicely sized to the device and not overly bulky.

Really impressive sound results in terms of just how much detail, clarity, dynamic range and frequency range there is. Low bass, crisp lower-mids, smooth upper-mids and highs. For want of a better term, what you hear with your ears when recording is more or less what you get on this Zoom. That said, I think it'll take a lot of practice to get the field recordings I'm looking for. The controls of the Zoom H4N — particularly those on the side panels — are much more intuitive to use than those of its predecessor, the H4. Speaking of SD cards, one of my least favorite things is waiting for my Zoom H5 to format a partially full SD card. Monitoring audio levels from various miss as well as the ability to be used as an audio interface is a great tool. For so many years I was just using a long cable with a solo mic attached to my camera but with this one is just so much better to have it station closer to my subject and get better audio and then just sync it on post or record straight to the video.

H4n Pro Four-Track Audio Recorder | ZOOM

Upon advice of a seasoned Zoom-user friend of mine, I used a pair of earbuds to monitor any wind noise as this can ruin a recording, but I found that on a fairly still day there was extremely low noise and, with the record level set at 80% there was no clipping - although it wasn't a loud environment. I made sure to test this as far away from any roads as possible, not easy as I live in a city where traffic noise is everywhere.Integrated multi-effects - with the Zoom G5n as its model: re-tuned effects, guitar amp simulation, phrase trainer and tuner Need some recording device to connect to our Yamaha CL5. was easy configuration to connect and sound was perfectly recorded. The H4n Pro can handle up to 140dB SPL, which makes it perfect for recording concerts, from a quiet chamber quartet to an ear-bludgeoning metal band. Using the H4n Pro's built-in XY mics (or external ones), Stereo mode is great for capturing acoustic instruments, dialogue, live performances, and more — covering a broad stereo spectrum while capturing clear, defined sound sources in the center. You can change the angle of the two unidirectional condenser mics from 120 to 90 degrees for a wider or more tightly focused image. Plus, Zoom has included an onboard M-S decoder for mid-side recording with external mics, which lets you adjust the width of the stereo image in post production. In 4-channel mode, you can record with the built-in mics and two external inputs simultaneously, adding lively room ambience to a stereo board mix. The inability to customize file names is slightly frustrating and the load/start up time is also inconvenient, whilst the protective housing is useful for rugged conditions : ie dust/sand
