Zoom H2n Handy Recorder with Five built-in microphones
Zoom H2n Handy Recorder is the only portable recording device to come with five built-in microphones and four different recording modes: X/Y, Mid-Side, 2-channel surround, and 4-channel surround. Other advanced features include automatic gain control and onboard MS decoding, plus effects like compression, limiting, and low-cut filtering. You can even use the H2n as a multi-purpose USB microphone!
Using the Zoom H2n?With its multiple microphones and recording modes, the H2n can handle just about every kind of application. Here are just a few ways it can be used:
- Live recording of concerts and rehearsals, in either stereo or surround sound
- Location videography the H2n gives you plenty of options in post-production
- Creating audio for YouTube videos
- Generating lasting audio documents of important events
- As a USB microphone providing input to recording software
Five microphones, four ways of recording
Zoom H2n offers not one, not two, but five built-in microphones. Two of them are arranged as an X/Y pair, while the other three are configured in an MS (“Mid-Side”) pattern. They can be used separately for X/Y or MS stereo recording, or combined to create stunning 2- or 4-channel surround sound.
Surround sound for lifelike realism
The Zoom H2n allows you to combine the signals from both the X/Y and MS microphones in order to create surround sound recordings of everything you hear not just those sounds coming from in front of you, but from all directions.
Battery life and recording times
Zoom H2n requires just 2 AA batteries either alkaline or rechargeable NiMH. Battery life when using alkaline batteries is more than 20 hours, even during continuous recording. Alternatively, you can use an optional AD-17 AC adapter, which allows you to power the H2n from any standard wall socket.
Zoom H2n records directly to SD cards. It supports standard SD and SDHC cards, up to 32 gigabytes. The chart below shows the maximum recording time with different file formats and card sizes.
