Zoom H4essential – 4 Track 32-Bit Float Handy Recorder (H4E)
Ideally equipped for the burgeoning musician, indie filmmaker, and content creator, the H4essential Portable Recorder from Zoom offers four tracks of pristine, distortion-free audio without setting levels. With 32-bit float recording and X/Y mics that can handle 130 dB with ease, the H4essential offers a versatile pain-free audio solution with dual XLR-1/4″ combo inputs that feature low-noise and high-quality Zoom mic preamps and sport +48V phantom power for driving professional condenser mics. An onboard mixer is easy to use with the bright 2″ colour display to adjust individual tracks and directly view waveforms in real-time. The H4essential can utilize its USB-C port for power and stream up to two audio channels to computers and smart devices, acting as a 4-in / 2-out interface. Furthermore, the recorder is tripod mountable, allowing it to be conveniently used in a fixed location or atop a camera via an adapter for field recording duties.
