At Zoom we’re always developing new ideas to improve the performance
and function of our Handy Recorders. With the new H4n Pro, we've taken
everything creators love about the H4n and brought it to the next level.
The H4n Pro isn't just improved, it's superior in every way. With
advanced X/Y microphones, incredibly natural-sounding preamps, and a
super-low noise floor, you can record everything from the Indy 500 to
the fluttering of a hummingbird with extraordinary realism.
The Pro features the same high performance, low-noise mic preamps as our
acclaimed Zoom H5 and H6 Handy Recorders, with recording and playback
at resolutions up to 24-bit/96 kHz. The improved noise floor (-120 dBu
EIN) captures audio at lower volumes with less noise
and fewer artifacts.
X/Y
stereo recording covers a wide area while capturing sound sources in
the center with clarity and definition. The angle of its two
unidirectional condenser mics can easily be changed from 90 degrees for a
tightly focused stereo image to 120 degrees for a wider image simply by
twisting the mic capsules.
The H4n Pro provides an onboard MS decoder for Mid-Side recording
with external microphones. This allows you to adjust the width of the
stereo image, making it especially useful for sound
design and broadcasting.
Inputs
The two locking combo connectors accept
either XLR or ¼" balanced/unbalanced phone cables, handling mic- and
line-level signals as well as instrument-level signals. Phantom Power of
+24 or +48 volts can be applied to both inputs. Plus, there’s a stereo
1/8” Mic jack for external audio sources, including lavalier microphones
requiring 2.5 volts of plug-in power.
Outputs
A stereo ?" Line/Phone Out, with dedicated
volume control, allows for headphone monitoring or connection to your
DSLR, while the built-in monophonic speaker allows for quick playback
reference. In addition, a USB port enables fast file transfer, firmware
updates, and use as a 2-in/2-out audio interface for computers.
