All user reviews of 4/5 for the Zoom H2n

Bought last year Thomann (I recommend), and I use it to record all types of music.
I tried templates for all types of media: tape, files, mini-disc ....
The quality of this one is really good: all sounds are clear, it is recognized particularly well recorded music instruments (compared with those for which all sounds like ...) and no noise. In addition I use the configuration "concert" with which I record concerts on stage WITHOUT CA SATURATED! Only "downside" you just add 3 decibels lower on Audacity when recording vacuum. To all the circumstances of recording, his first attack must also be reduced, but it is something reversible, so a problem circumvented.
When recording goes digital only in the case of electronic or compressed music, recording is done without compression (advantage or disadvantage? This is relative).
A note also of course a wide range of configurations. Wav and. Mp3 for my part I record maximum. Wav to mp3 and public performance 320 or 128 for private performance.

Five microphones are convenient, the "expansion" left-right is adjustable according to the desires and can also record with 4 Channels.

The price / quality ratio is good, especially if you know where to buy. In Thomannn is a more affordable creature, a little less in Fnac.

If I davais choice again I would. I do not think it happens because the machine is solid. However, the miniSD-SD adapter is already trapped inside the mine, so take a normal SD and everything will be fine.

The Zoom H2N is a great value. Featuring 5 onboard microphones that can be paired in a variety of configurations, the H2n can suit just about any recording need you might have. My experiences with the Zoom H2n started with just wanting a mobile recording device to capture acoustic guitar ideas with. After spending time with the device I found it particularly good on vocals. I ran it into a macbook pro via usb and was able to monitor my take in real time within garageband. Monitoring in this fashion (using the headphone out on the Zoom) allowed me to hear any effects on my take exactly as they would sound on playback. This gave me a heightened sense of confidence while singing and led to more consistent vocal takes.

Going through the LCD User interface can be a pain at times. The controls of the H2n are not completely intuitive and you can find yourself accidentally recording over or deleting items. Besides these habitual quirks, the learning curve to this product is not steep by any means. I was able to get the device unboxed, setup, and a decent sounding take recorded in less than 20 minutes.

The microphones do a great job of isolating the source material in a residential apartment. Even with electrical noise from appliances and traffic spilling in from outside, the recordings always sounded very intimate-- rejecting most of these unwanted sounds. Acoustic guitars sound very full and when tracking multiple sources together (such as voice and guitar as well as multiple voices) , they keep distinct and separated in the recording.

The Zoom H2n exceeded my expectations for sound quality and made me feel very comfortable with the purchase. If you ever need an affordable device for capturing audio, give the Zoom line a try.

Hi all.

I own one for my H4n taken from his outdoors. My regret was the lack of protection of embedded microphones (I am including journalism), and I found that the protective housing was impractical.

Then came the H2n!

A marvel (with certain reservations)

The audio-in is impeccable (breathtaking, no pun intended).
The audio-out (speaker), however, is limited, provided that either require (as is my case).

Perfect ergonomics for Journalism (up to place it on a table without accessories and record four tracks - only. Wav).

Settings and trigger / stop recording at the top.

The accessory kit is in my opinion essential. The silicone cover dedicated on the other hand, is not practical and I recommend the purchase (I immediately removed after test).

That's it. If not what else to say it does not duplicate the H4n, which is superior in features, but is a bit fragile (in case of journalism) from the H 2 N (micro).

When I compare to my old Sony MX20 (indeed, much older): there is no photo.

Very good material for an affordable price for the one that makes the mobile audio, and wants quality and ergonomics.

A small spot of shade, however: its brilliant shell tends to scratch easily. But after all, what, compared to the performace of this product unique?
