It is therefore more than two years that I'm using it for interviews, recordings of rehearsals, etc. ...

Long ago I used a portable MD electret microphone with a plug on it, but pretty good, not practical to retrieve the data later.

Subsequently it was plugged into the microphone MacBook practice for audio processing in Logic because I came directly, but there is more congestion.

Better, yeah, I'm tempted by the H2 seen the good reviews, buying at the same time the silicone shell in case, because the reviews were talking about cheap plastic.

Not having been dropped, having found a tiny aluminum briefcase (if a catalog offers a camera numériqe rotten but delivered in a suitcase, say YES!) In which the foam is made for a camera = same size as the H2 (yay!) it is transported properly.

With the accessories is the class, we can keep the stuff by hand, like a microphone recorder integrated with the windshield is perfect for interviews in all circumstances (we sometimes see on TV with journalists an H2!), and with little support for that stand up for nickel is placed on a table and record a meeting or a rehearsal.

The great thing is the presence of the two stereo microphones! By choosing the right recording mode and placing it well, we can rectify the balance after the fact of a rehearsal, just to lower the mixer and mount keyboards (routine, what!), Etc. ...

No really I love this stuff, for the price there is absolutely nothing to say, the quality is by appointment, personally I record to WAV (3 hours with a 2GB SD) and I turn systematically COMP1 story having a small compression already at the base. Then the DS is in the Mac Logic, salaries ...

Tiny flat, and yet it's normal since using supposedly "pro", we actually have to start in only press REC once because we are able to adjust REC PAUSE to gain! As with the MD you will say, but it looks so much like a dictaphone ;-) It must therefore be used to watch as the seconds to say "it's good, it saves!

To hear a little of what I did, please listen to my interview with a fellow singer here: http://www.wat.tv/audio/asphodel-extraits-sebfm-y543_2g1kt_.html

Special mention for the silicone shell, very well studied because no need to remove to change batteries (2xLR6 = standard practice!) Or remove the SD

Congratulations to zoom for this product, I hope to keep long seen its performance and compactness.

I would do this considering my choice without hesitation use
