When you hit that record button, the mics become live, and you can see the levels on the monochrome screen.
NEW ZOOM RECORDER 2014 PRO
That’s when the H4n Pro is fixin’ to make a plan to start recording. For example, when you want to record, there’s a big, red record button on the front, and you push it. With my experience with the less-capable Zoom H2, I had a leg up on the learning curve for its interface. I don’t want to downplay the complexity of this device but I think I’m getting the hang of it. If they’re in one folder, they actually get deleted, and in another, they swoosh over to my Drobo and are removed from my drive.

I wouldn’t really worry about this, but I have a Hazel rule that checks the dates of my files and moves them around depending on whether they have aged out. It basically means that the clock is set to 0. That date is infamous, it’s the day before UNIX was invented. But the SD card records everything as being created on 31 December 1969. The Zoom H4n Pro has a menu where you can declare the time and date. One more thing on the SD card, and I know it’s a small thing but it’s very irritating. Even when Bart and I record, like last week’s marathon 1:45 hour Programming By Stealth, the uncompressed stereo file was only 1.2GB. I’m not worried about the storage with 4GB by the way. The bigger the SD card, the longer the Zoom H4n Pro will take to boot up! I have no idea why this is, but I painfully had to pay $10 for a 4GB SD card and now the darn thing boots up really quickly.
NEW ZOOM RECORDER 2014 MANUAL
I read the manual looking for hints on what was wrong and finally turned to the Googles. I turned the recorder on for the first time, and had to wait nearly THREE MINUTES for it to boot up! I was ready to send it back on day one. Can’t ever have too much storage, right? Well actually, that’s wrong when it comes to the Zoom H4n Pro. Steve figured that SD cards are really inexpensive now, so he went for a 32GB card. I want to talk about the SD card for a moment. The best news about the power supply is that it’s very tiny and light, and it even fits into the $10 hard case Steve bought for the recorder. That’s great, but if you do have power available, you can also plug the H4n Pro into wall power via the Zoom AD-14 AC Power Supply Adapter which is not included but is only $20 on Amazon.
NEW ZOOM RECORDER 2014 PORTABLE
The Zoom H4n Pro can be used as a fully portable recorder, saving audio recordings to an SD card, and running on two AA batteries. XLR is the standard analog connector for what I would affectionately call big-girl microphones while others might call them professional audio gear. As a consumer of my content, you care deeply about that. But more importantly, the device will accept two XLR microphone inputs. The Zoom H4n Pro has a pair of what they call X/Y stereo microphones built into the device.

As I said, I’m not going to be using its full capabilities (such as studio recordings of live instruments), but let’s take a look at what it can do for me, and in turn the value it brings to you as a listener of my content.

The Zoom H4n Pro is only $220, which is surprisingly inexpensive for this highly capable device. Now that I’ve hopefully scared most of you away, I’ll tell the rest of you the good news. It has a very thick user manual and I’ve read a lot of it, but I suspect I will never fully understand all of its capabilities. The Zoom H4n Pro has the same ancient interface as my old Zoom H2, but it’s bigger, heavier and far more complicated. This device is not for those who want something simple, lightweight, elegant, with a modern interface.
NEW ZOOM RECORDER 2014 UPGRADE
I wanted to upgrade to a better recorder, so for Mother’s Day, Steve bought me the fancy pants Zoom H4n Pro. When I’ve needed to record when away from home, I have been using an ATR 2100 USB/XLR mic hooked up to my MacBook Pro, but that’s not truly portable.Īs I mentioned in my review of the Zoom iQ7 for Maryanne last week, I used to use the Zoom H2 as a portable recorder, but its time came to an end in usefulness. Retrieved 31 August 2015.I’ve been wanting a better way to make audio recordings on the road for a long time. ^ "CREATIVE & TECHNICAL ACHIEVEMENT WINNERS ANNOUNCED AT THE 30TH ANNUAL NAMM TEC AWARDS Hosted by comedian Sinbad" (Press release).^ "ZOOM H5 - Somewhere Between H4 and H6".Archived from the original on 24 March 2015. ^ "Zoom H5 REVIEW – High Quality Audio Fieldrecorder".^ a b "Zoom Debuts H5 Portable Recorder – High Resolution Multitrack".^ a b c "Zoom Intros H5 Handy Recorder".
