Bring your audio recording to the next level with the H4essential 4-Track 32-Bit Float Handy Recorder. This advanced audio recording device offers four tracks and 32-bit float recording, providing a multitude of options for musicians, podcasters, and video creators.
The H4essential is equipped with advanced X/Y microphones and two XLR/TRS inputs, enabling you to capture every nuance of your sound. With its 32-bit float recording, you can enjoy a more dynamic range without the need to adjust levels. This feature ensures high-quality, clip-free audio in every take, capturing the full essence of your sound.
Designed with accessibility in mind, the H4essential is the first in the Essential Series to offer audible descriptions for the blind and visually impaired. Users can navigate the menu through the built-in speaker or headphones, with language options including English, Spanish, French, Japanese, German, Italian, and Chinese.
The H4essential's 2 XLR/TRS combo inputs feature Zoom's ultra-clean preamps that support phantom power and +4dBu professional line level input. The onboard X/Y microphones can handle a sound pressure level up to a thunderous 130 dB SPL, equivalent to the intensity of a rock concert.
Stream in 32-bit float while simultaneously recording to an SD card. When connected to a PC, Mac, iOS, or Android device via the USB-C port, the H4essential can function as a 4-in/2-out audio interface. The built-in mixer allows for easy adjustment of each track's audio level, and the waveform display lets you visualize your audio as it records.
The H4essential is an essential tool for creators. Musicians can capture big stage sound with the 2 XLR/TRS inputs and the stereo X/Y microphones, making it ideal for recording live shows, rehearsals, and songs. For film production, the XLR inputs can capture on-set dialogue and audio for sound design, while the onboard X/Y microphones are perfect for recording ambience. Podcasters can utilize the XLR inputs with external mics for one-on-one conversations and the X/Y mics for on-the-go interviews.
Pair the H4essential with your iOS device using the BTA-1 Bluetooth Adapter to remotely control recording, adjust your mix, view your waveforms, and change settings. The BTA-1 Bluetooth Adapter also enables pairing with Bluetooth timecode devices for audio and video sync.
The H4essential boasts premium features such as soft touch controls for quiet operation and a built-in speaker for quick reference listening. The full-color LCD screen simplifies navigation through the menu and functions. The device also features a 3.5mm line output for headphones or camera connection, and a 3.5mm mic/line input.
