Samson releases the new ZOOM H4n handy audio recorder with 4-channel high resolution audio recording and variable recording pattern capability. The H4n comes with built-in X/Y stereo condenser mics that allow variable recording patterns at either 90-degree or 120-degree. With the new digitally controlled, high-quality mic premap, and the ability to use internal and external mics simultaneously for 4-channel recording, the recorder offers improved audio quality.
The ZOOM H4n offers two two XLR inputs and can be used with DSLR cameras to record high-quality audio while filming HD video. It is also a user-friendly, multi-track studio (MTR) that records at CD quality, 16-bit/44.1kHz resolution, ideal for musician and songwriters. The H4n also functions as a USB audio interface, letting you record directly to either a Mac or PC.
The H4n audio recorder has a rubberized, shock resistant body for improved chassis protection, all-metal microphone design and a built-in mounting joint for tripod and microphone stand use. It comes with a 1GB SD card and a large LCD display. A protective case and Cubase LE recording software are included. The ZOOM H4n is available for $299.
