Zoom H4n comes in a new rubberized, shock resistant chassis that improves durability while reducing handling noise and a large, 1.9 inch LCD screen with backlit graphic display that shows all the tracking information at a glance. It is equipped with a built-in reference speaker to let you check recordings without earphones. It gives a DVD quality audio resolution through its 24-bit/96kHz linear PCM recording. Also, you can select a variety of MP3 formats from 320 kbps down to 48 kpbs to create smaller files appropriate for web or e-mail distribution. With its Broadcast Wave Format (BWF) support, the recorded files carry time stamp information. Zoom H4n also features a Mid-Side stereo decoder that allows utilizing classic microphone setup. The device converts the mid and side channels into a conventional stereo (L/R) signal for even more flexibility. It features multi-track studio (MTR) that records at CD quality, 16-bit/44.1kHz resolution that allows simultaneous 2-track recording and 4-track playback. Thus, you can sketch songs by overdubbing vocals and instruments. The device can also be used as an USB audio interface to record directly to either a Mac or PC. For continuous recording, it has a stamina mode feature that effectively doubles battery life or approximately 11 hours in 16-bit/44.1kHz linear PCM format.
