Who Needs
the H2 Handy Recorder from Zoom? Everyone who craves brilliant stereo
recording.
Simplicity
is a beautiful thing.
It's a simple
idea: provide brilliant stereo recording in an easy-to-use, ultra-portable
device. Now everyone can record pristine audio in an infinite variety
of applications. From seminars and conferences, to electronic news
gathering (ENG) and podcasting, to musical performances, songwriting
sessions and rehearsals, the H2 provides amazing recording quality.
And no matter what kind of music you perform or the instrument you
play, the H2 can effortlessly record it in high-quality stereo.
Why four
mics are better than two.
The H2 is the
only portable recorder with 4 mic capsules on-board for 360°
recording. With 4 mic capsules in a W-X/Y configuration, the audio
is decoded instantly, bringing these four signals together for unparalleled
stereo imaging.
But the H2 doesn't
stop there. For maximum flexibility, you can record from the front
of the H2 in a 90° pickup pattern or the rear of the H2 in a
120° pickup pattern at up to 96 kHz/24-bit resolution as a WAV
file, or as an MP3 file at bitrates up to 320 kbps. Additionally,
you can record in a 360° pickup pattern at up to 48kHz/24-bit
resolution which will allow you to convert your recordings to 5.1
Surround.
Push a Button...
That's all it
takes to start recording! The H2 is a remarkably robust device that
is incredibly easy to use. One button recording, gain controls on
the side and an intuitive user interface mean you can always capture
the moment. Set your levels, push record and go. It's that simple.
Or use the Auto Start and Auto Gain Control functions to ensure
complete capture at the right level. And if you need to fine-tune
your levels on the fly, we made it easy with gain control buttons
on the front panel.
Play it Back!
Play your recordings
on your home audio system with its 1/8" stereo output or listen
to your masterpiece with headphones. Or, use the H2's USB interface
to move your recordings to your Mac or PC to listen, edit and share.
Secure Your
Digital Memories
The H2 records
on Secure Digital (SD) media and a 512MB SD card is included. The
unit can accommodate up to a 16GB SD card, allowing up to 24 hours
of total recording time using the 16-bit/44.1kHz WAV format. At
128kbps MP3, you get an amazing 280 hours of stereo recording. Store
your recordings on a PC or Mac with its USB 2.0 interface. And you
can use its time stamping function for reference during production.
Or use the H2 as a USB Mic for recording directly to a computer.
