Multiple inputs, infinite possibilities
Most handheld recorders today feature a built-in stereo pair of condenser microphones, but few provide the additional inputs or flexible I/O configuration you get with the Zoom H4n. XLR combo jacks let you plug in a huge selection of gear, including guitars, but more importantly, the H4n lets you choose exactly the inputs you want, so you can mix and match external microphones, instruments, and line-level gear with the built-in microphones. You can even use both external inputs and both onboard mics at once! There's even an advanced multitrack recording mode, which lets you record studio-style overdubs - perfect for laying down new songs, without dragging the band into your studio.
Amazing sound quality
Flexible I/O is only one thing that's made the H4n so popular. What's really impressive is its phenomenal sound quality. Maybe it's the microphones, or maybe it's the H4n's special digitally controlled preamplifier, but whatever the reason, Sweetwater customers simply rave about how good the H4n sounds. In fact, we've found that the quality and convenience of the H4n have made it real a mainstay in the independent film world. So, not only does the Zoom H4n put studio-style recording in the palm of your hand, it also gives you production-quality audio you can depend on.
Loaded with killer extras and practice tools
So far, we've only covered the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Zoom H4n's advanced functions. In addition to straightforward recording options, the H4n gives you great onboard practice tools, including a phrase trainer, a karaoke-style center cancel function, and a flexible pitch-change option. The H4n also includes 50 amazing effects that you can play with, including guitar amp models. A unique Stamina Mode lets you double your battery life, whereas auto-record and pre-record functions ensure that you never miss an important moment.
