The H4n Pro is a portable recording device and a 2-channel USB interface in a palm-sized unit. It features a built-in stereo microphone, two low-noise preamps with XLR/1/4" inputs, multiple recording modes, on-board effects, a built-in metronome, a chromatic tuner, and much more. It can be used for film-audio capture, podcasting, and field interviews.
Furthermore, the kit features a Revo hot-shoe adapter that allows you to mount camera accessories to rigs, camera brackets, and stands that only feature a flash shoe. There is an Auray windbuster for the recorder that has been custom tailored to fit over a foam windscreen or can be used on its own. The fur works in tandem with the acoustic-cloth inner lining to protect the microphone element from air burst without muffling the sound.
Other accessories in the kit include a 16GB Ultra SDHC memory card with class-10 performance for full HD video (1080p), a Kopul line-to-mic attenuator cable for output from the Zoom recorder to the mic-level input of your DSLR camera, which delivers 25 dB of attenuation to step down the hot line-level audio to microphone-level signal.
Finally, a wired remote control for the Zoom recorder is included that will record, play, stop, pause, fast forward, rewind, and create marks on the audio recorder for identification from up to six feet away. It also allows you to select the recording input source and then adjust record and playback levels.
Ideal for guitarists, bassists, and vocalists looking to produce studio-quality tracks on a single travel-friendly device, the Zoom H4n Portable Handheld Recorder with Onboard Stereo Microphone Capsule and versatile mic/line/instrument inputs lets you record up to four tracks of high-resolution audio in the palm of your hand. Plug in your favorite guitar and microphone, and enjoy unlimited overdubbing, amp simulation, and a slew of effects to develop your tracks into a polished mix.
Like other H-Series Handy recorders such as the H5 and H6, you can hold it in your hand, attach it to a mic stand or tripod, or mount it to a camera (shoe mount available separately). The H4n Pro packs a surprising array of features into a rugged, rubberized body that's more than ready to meet the varied demands of songwriters, musicians, filmmakers, sound designers, content creators, and more.
From plentiful battery life to powerful audio processing functions, the H4n Pro is well equipped to handle anything from tracking live performances, demos, and complete songs to recording sound effects, interviews, and meetings. It can supply phantom or plug-in power for condenser mics or accepts direct connections from instruments such as a guitar, bass, or keyboard. No matter the source, selectable auto-recording and pre-recording ensure that you'll never miss the start of a take.
