- Zoom H2N demo
Perfect for chamber ensembles, string quartets, and small jazz combos, the Zoom H2n offers a powerful set of features for one-mic recording. If you’re a studio cat, you’ll appreciate its ability to record 96 kHz/24-bit audio files. Recording enthusiasts will appreciate its switchable array of five microphones—all of which provide an immersive audio experience.The H2n also works as a 4-in/2-out USB audio interface, recording multi-tracked audio straight to your computer. Podcasters can use the unit as a USB mic. A simple dial on top of the recorder lets you switch between traditional XY stereo, 2-channel surround, 4-channel surround, and a mid-side stereo mode. The mid-side mode allows you to adjust the width of your stereo field for flexibility. When recording in RAW mode, you can even adjust the field after you've made a recording.
The H2n records to widely available SD and SDHC flash memory cards, and supports capacities up to 32GB. When using a 32GB card, you 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 your recordings to make sure everything has been captured properly. The streamlined and intuitive interface puts critical controls right at your fingertips. The large 1.8" backlit LCD display makes it easy to navigate through system menus and monitor audio levels. The analog-type mic gain wheel lets you make precise adjustments on-the-fly.
If you'd like to connect external equipment, the H2n provides you with a 3.5mm mic/line input, allowing you to hook up your favorite microphones, instruments, and other sound sources. A 3.5mm headphone/line output makes it easy to connect headphones, portable speakers, and other devices. A remote jack lets you connect the optional wired remote to start, stop, and pause recordings, as well as add marks. It also reduces handling noise for the cleanest possible recordings. A high-speed USB 2.0 port lets you transfer recordings to your Mac or PC. You can even use the H2n as a live USB mic, terrific for VoIP chats and podcasting. An activation card for Steinberg's WaveLab LE and Cubase LE software is included, and once downloaded, they will give you audio editing and mastering tools to help you turn your recordings into finished masterpieces.
The H2n offers a number of versatile powering options. It offers over 20 hours of continuous operation on a pair of standard AA alkaline batteries. It can also be operated via USB bus power or an AC adapter (sold separately). In the event of battery failure or accidental power loss, your recordings won't vanish. A data recovery function will automatically restore your data the next time the recorder is powered on, so you don't lose one-of-a-kind audio moments. Other features of the H2n include a lo-cut filter, a compressor/limiter, auto gain, pre-rec, auto-rec, a tuner and metronome, variable speed playback, key control, A-B repeat, file dividing, normalize, MP3 post-encode, marker, and surround mixer to give you useful tools for a variety of applications. - Key Features at a Glance

- Mid-Side Stereo Recording
- The mid-side mode allows you to adjust the width of your stereo field for flexibility, setting the perfect amount of ambient/surrounding noise. Commonly used in film and broadcast, mid-side recording combines a unidirectional mid mic that captures sound directly in front of you and a bidirectional side mic that captures sound from your left and right. By increasing or decreasing the level of the side mic, you can control the width of the stereo field. When recording in RAW mode, you can even adjust the field after you've made a recording.
