Portable digital audio recorders continue to be a very hot topic. From hobbyists, to pro-sumers, independent studios and even the 3-letter broadcast giants – everyone is taking advantage of the these devices.
At least for Studio1A, Zoom is one of the major players in affordable and portable recorders.
The H-4 started it all. Then, the amazing sub-$200 H-2. Now, the H-4 is back with a complete face lift as the H-4n. Laura and I wanted to try out the new H-4n at a live concert. The group Nova Era was gracious enough to let us acoustically, and then direct-record a recent live performance.
We have used the Zooms for a lot of vocal work. I was curious to find just how well a stock H-4n, with its small X-Y electret mics would record a live performance; crowd noise and all.
Have a listen and let us know what you think of the completely redesigned Zoom H-4n…
