- How long have you use it?

Command Thomann Monday reu and the following Friday. It is therefore only five days. Take this notice to Premire a grip!

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

The H2 is lightweight, holds well in hand. The grid of microphones is mtallique and seems solid. As against the rest of the hull is trs 'plastic' and actually quite 'cheap'. The screen is a bit small but enough to use (it is clear rtro. The buttons are too small but my taste seems ractifs enough for now.
It is fully stocked with accessories (I even surprised t!) With a microphone stand adapter, a small support for the table, a wind screen, SD card 512 MB (!), A carrying case, Stereo headset, a USB, a cable to plug into a string and a Stereo adapter.
Only the batteries are missing the call, but it supports many rechargeable batteries and even has a feature on the menu for estimating More precisely their service charge.

Setting function is trs fast and the menus are fairly intuitive for common functions. There is also a large selection of SETTING THE compression, MP3 64kbps MP3 to WAV and 320 kbps Stereo in the 16bit/44kHz 24bit/96 kHz. It is also possible to record in surround (4.0) in 16bit/44 24bit/48 kHz or kHz. It accepts SD 4GB chard and the recording time is therefore 8333 minutes 116 minutes (over 4GB).

I test the bte during the weekend for some home recording solo (guitar + voice). The offering is pretty easy and the whole is sensible. The quality is really good with no audible breath test (in Wav and MP3 and Stereo). For better dynamic can refine rglages, but 'out of the box' your exact is really nice for a music lover (I am not pro, away from!). Given a nitre can judge the sound level and the LED flashes when the microphone the sound saturates. With the headset can be judged IMMEDIATE rsultat of recording with fast forward, which is great practice.

I also test the H2 as a USB microphone plugged into the Mac. IMMEDIATE is the recognition and use in Garageband is simple (in Stereo, I did not test 4.0). When the connection is chosen if the H2 is used as a micro or SD card reader. In the latter case the transfer speed is fine but I would use trs probably plutt a photo card reader (I have a bad exprience with the USB ports of such devices!).

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

I had the H4 but silent in hand a bit too expensive for me and I will not use the micro supplmentaires taken. For cons, I have the video in HD and H2 seems to me a great camra complment my Canon HV20 to record surround sound (although I must test a).

- How do you report qualitprix?

Difficult to judge whether the price of this product will fall, but say that 200 euros is honnte and did not much competition on the market (especially in surround recording)

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

the exprience is a bit short for now, but I think so.
I put 9 / 10 because of the somewhat 'cheap' plastic.
