Best value:
Excellent
I already use a Zoom H2 for several years. I need more autonomy and that is why I decided to buy the H2n. This really is ideal for making quick taken together, conference, voice recorder, etc. ... and good qualities.
The preamp gain is 39dB. There are now four configurations at the microphones with the selector above (practice). A red LED that flashes when it clip! A microphone or stereo line (useful for recovering the sound output mixer). Recognized as a storage device or audio recording device ...
For me to Zoom H2 corrected the problems on several points:
1. Autonomy. The H2 had a range of about 3 hours. Cella was not enough for my use. Here, the H2n announces 20h with alkaline batteries. I was skeptical ... So I tried with 2700mAh Rechargeable Battery Sony CycleEnergy Ni-mh. I let it run until all batteries ... after more than 28h! When 3 bars tee "moin battery level are missing, he continued to record, but the backlight was no longer active. I must say I was very pleasantly surprised! Congratulations Zoom!
2. Keylock. On H2 it was not possible to lock the keys. Especially when handling that can be pressed inadvertently. Well, they add a lock (HOLD) .. thank you
3. Screen size. I board not a good view on the H2 and it was a hassle because screen too small ... and although they put on a bigger screen on H2n ... thank you again!
4. Keys. H2 on the keys are too small and convenient to use. They chose another solution with a handy knob (as on the H4). So it's easy to navigate the menus. thank you
5. Recording time. The H2 was limited by memory card. They are then given the opportunity to climb up the 32Gb H2N. It provides more than 200 hours in mp3 320Kb! ample! thank you
6. Gain adjustment. Before the gain was a 3 position switch! Now they put a wheel on the side, good idea! thank you
7. Listen. On H2 it was impossible to listen to the recordings without headphones. So they built a small speaker. This is not the best but troubleshoots well! thank you
8. Remote. The H2 had no possibility to connect a. But this new opportunity. However, it is not provided with and have to buy the accessory kit
LES - now:
1. Weight: The h2n is heavier than the H2 ... I do not mind because remains compact, but ...
2. Size: the H2n is larger than the H2 .. I do not mind because not much more ..
3. The batteries are valve can still practice open ...
5. The H2 has an external power supply (AC adapter) supplied with. The H2n any (life via USB adapter) but you have to buy the accessory kit ...
4. uhh ... yes to the principal: the accessories are sold separately which brings the total price to about 200 euros! On H2, they were provided with! damage.
CONCLUSION: Zoom listened to its customers and corrected blackheads H2. This has really become an excellent product for the price! I do not regret my purchase, it is a product that does what is asked.
