I use the Zoom H2 for several weeks. I was looking for a high quality recorder numrique with features open while both easy to use. This recorder is an excellent product that may be suitable DIFFERENT uses: confrences, concerts, sound of a song and / or instrument, sounds in nature, dictaphone etc ... What I like most is the high quality Fidler taking sound quality "Wav 44 hz" (CD), which can be is also 96 Hz can also be SAVE for the SD card, select a record to MP3, but less deep enough to use "taking notes". I will use it to record my music lessons and also mainly in the wild. Tests for bird songs are gorgeous. It is possible to focus the microphone to filter the main sound (low) or in context (Hi) / depending on the distance of the subject and the project. In addition you can choose to record 90 360 depending on the situation (a choir, a rptition with a group of musicians situs in DIFFERENT places a pice etc.). The CONNECTIVITY with the computer is simple, you can copy files, rename them, burn them to CD. If we make a model of a song with the right rglages, your exact is convincing. The return of the voice / singing is rich and Fidler, like the instruments on which I test (djembe - think record with the aircraft on the ground lgrement DCAL - flte native). It is even possible to use the Zoom H2 as micro (bracket supplied), on your exact amp is good trs. In short, I think I made a good investment that puts in a dimension of the semi-pro recording. I m'tais well informed before making my choice, choice and MRI that I love today! A 200 euro is a good compromise over the Systmes more likely but less pro lightweight (it fits in one hand and slips into a jacket pocket: a strap t have one more though. ..). Note that depending on the recording format can be selected on a same card CRER files 6:00 (4 GB) until 139 hours (MP3). You can put a more powerful card (up to 32 GB) with a 16 GB opening at boot time is longer. Learn about compatible brands on the official website before.
