About Zoom H4essential

After extensive research and development, the H4essential 4-Track 32-Bit Float Handy Recorder has been designed to offer creators a versatile and high-quality audio recording solution. This bundle, which also includes a TASL500 Lavalier Microphone, Headset Extension Cable, and a 32GB Memory Card, provides an all-in-one solution for recording music, podcasts, and audio for video.

The H4essential Handy Recorder boasts four tracks and 32-bit float recording, allowing for a wider dynamic range and eliminating the need for level adjustment. Its advanced X/Y microphones and dual XLR/TRS inputs offer a multitude of recording options, capturing every subtle detail of your sound for high-quality, clip-free audio in every take.

This is the first Handy Recorder designed with accessibility features for the blind and visually impaired. Users can navigate the menu with audible descriptions, available in seven languages, through the built-in speaker or headphones.

The H4essential's 2 XLR/TRS combo inputs are equipped with Zoom's ultra-clean preamps, supporting phantom power and +4dBu professional line level input. The onboard X/Y microphones can handle sound pressure levels up to a thunderous 130 dB SPL, equivalent to the intensity of a rock concert.

With the ability to stream in 32-bit float while simultaneously recording to an SD card, the H4essential is a versatile tool for creators. When connected to a PC, Mac, iOS, or Android device via the USB-C port, it can also function as a 4-in/2-out audio interface.

The built-in mixer and waveform display allow for easy adjustment of each track's audio level and visual monitoring of your recording. Whether you're recording music, capturing on-set dialogue, or conducting interviews for a podcast, the H4essential is a reliable companion.

The H4essential also supports Bluetooth connectivity with the BTA-1 Bluetooth Adapter, enabling remote control of recording, mixing, waveform viewing, and setting adjustments from your iOS device. Additionally, it can pair with Bluetooth timecode devices for audio and video synchronization.

Other premium features include soft touch controls for quiet operation, a built-in speaker for quick reference listening, and a full-color LCD screen for easy navigation. The 3.5mm line output can be used for headphones or camera connection, and the 3.5mm mic/line input offers additional connectivity options. The H4essential also supports high-capacity SDXC cards up to 1TB, ensuring you have ample storage for hours of audio recording.
