About Zoom PodTrak P4next

Podcasting Like a Pro Has Never Been Easier. Or Better.
The PodTrak P4next features 4 XLR inputs and next-gen features like AI noise reduction, tone shaping, and voice compression- making broadcast-quality podcasting easier than ever.

Upgraded Tech

AI Noise Reduction
Don't let hums, buzzes, and street noise ruin your conversation. Let AI noise reduction learn and remove unwanted noise, keeping your voice clear, natural, and detailed.

Your Voice, But Better
