About Zoom H2 Handy Mobile Audio Recorder w/360 Deg Recording
FEATURED REVIEWS
Great value!
This is the best value in portable recorders. The mics are very good, the usability is great. It feels a little cheap in construction if you are used to pro sound equipment, but I have used this to record singers and storytellers in some very challenging situations. Just have a care, and use SD cards (not SDHC cards) and you will love it.
High quality and performance for price
Very versatile recorder. I had a little bit of difficulty with the complexity of functions. Not as intuitive as I was hoping it would be. Otherwise no other complaints.
The Zoom H2 is an easy-to-use, versatile stereo digital audio recorder that fits into the palm of your hand. Perfect for musicians, journalists, podcasters and more, the H2 records high-quality WAV and MP3 files to meet any professional need. The H2 has 4 built-in microphone capsules, whose signals are decoded and combined to create a fantastic stereo image. You can record from the front at 90°, the rear of the unit at 120°, or you can record 360° to create a 5.1 mix of your audio.
The H2 records your audio onto easily-found SD flash cards with capacities up to 16GB. A 512MB card is included so you can begin recording right away. When a 4GB card is inserted, you can record up to 2 hours of audio at 96kHz, 6 hours at 44.1kHz, or up to 138 hours in MP3 format. The pocket-sized device runs on 2 standard AA batteries to provide up to 4 hours of continuous operation.
The intuitive interface provides you with one-button recording, along with auto start and gain functions. Controls include easy-to-use cursor, menu and transport keys, as well as a 3-way mic gain switch and a volume up/down control. Two mini inputs are provided, one mic and one line. A stereo mini headphone output allows you to listen to your recordings right from the H2. A USB port allows you to transfer data to and from your Mac or PC, or to use the H2 as a USB microphone.
