Stereo, M-S, and 4-channel modes
The H4n Pro can capture performances from a quiet chamber quartet to a blaring metal band since it can sustain 140dB SPL. Stereo mode captures acoustic instruments, conversation, live performances, and more using the H4n Pro’s built-in XY microphones or external ones. For a larger or narrower view, adjust the two unidirectional condenser microphones from 120 to 90 degrees. Zoom’s integrated M-S decoder for mid-side recording with external microphones allows you alter stereo picture width post-production. Recording using the built-in microphones and two external inputs in 4-channel mode adds dynamic room atmosphere to a stereo board mix.
For journalism and podcasting, the Zoom H4n Pro can’t be beat, giving you the portability, miking versatility, and professional audio quality you need for impactful storytelling. The H4n Pro’s support for plug-in power lets you easily mic the talent with a lavalier. Record time-stamped WAV files and sync the audio with video footage in post production, or embed hi-fi audio directly in your video in real time, via an 1/8″ stereo feed.
