Enjoy the new
standard
Representing
a new generation of portable recording, the H2n is
Zoom’s most innovative handheld
recorder to date. We’ve packed groundbreaking features into an ultra-portable
device that allows you to record pristine audio anywhere you go.
From film and
broadcast, to journalism, podcasting, musical performance, songwriting
and rehearsal, the H2n provides amazing recording quality.
New mics, new
sound
The H2n features
our best microphones yet and is the only portable recorder with
five mic capsules onboard. This design enables the H2n to offer
four unique recording modes: Mid-Side (MS) stereo, 90° X/Y stereo,
2-channel and 4-channel surround sound.
The first portable
Mid-Side recorder
The H2n is the
first handheld recorder to offer Mid-Side stereo recording, a technique
used for many years in film and broadcast, where ambiance and surrounding
noise are crucial. Mid-Side recording combines a uni-directional
Mid mic that captures sound directly in front of you and a bi-directional
Side mic that captures sound from your left and right. By increasing
or decreasing the level of the Side mic, you can control
the width of the stereo field, which gives you incredible flexibility
over your recordings. If you record in RAW mode, you can even adjust
the stereo width after recording.
You still get
X/Y…
The H2n’s onboard
90° X/Y stereo condenser mics are arranged with the right and left
mics on the same axis. This design ensures that the mics are always
equidistant from the sound source for perfect localization and no
phase shifting. The result is brilliant stereo recording with natural
depth and accurate imaging.
Completely
surrounded
Using the H2n’s
Mid-Side and X/Y mics together, you can create stunning
360° surround sound recordings. Choose between 2-channel mode, which
combines the Mid-Side and X/Y mics, and 4-channel mode, which records
two separate stereo files, allowing you even more post-production
capability. No matter which mode you use, you’ll get perfectly balanced,
surround sound recordings.
Streamline
your recording experience
The H2n is remarkably
easy to use. With its newly designed user interface, critical controls
are right at your fingertips and make studio-quality recording a
breeze.
The H2n also
houses an arsenal of comprehensive functions, including Auto-Gain,
a compressor/limiter, time stamping and more.
We’ve got you
covered
Never again
will you have to worry about losing recorded data to unexpected
errors. The H2n has you covered with its new data recovery function.
Whether you experience battery loss or an accidental power-down,
this feature will automatically restore your data the next time
the H2n is powered on.
20 hours of
battery life
The H2n provides
over 20 hours of continuous operation on just two standard AA alkaline
batteries! This astonishing feature enhances the H2n’s flexibility
and convenience. In addition, the H2n can also operate using an
AC adapter, which is included in the optional APH-2n Accessory Pack.
Bigger and
brighter
The H2n's 1.8-inch
backlit LCD display (128 x 64 resolution) provides crystal-clear
monitoring and makes it simple to navigate all of the unit’s functions.
Turning to
analog
Digital volume
controls offer too much or too little gain, with no middle ground.
The H2n’s Mic Gain wheel allows you to dial-in the perfect amount
of gain for any given application.
Play it back
and listen…
The H2n’s built-in
reference speaker lets you know your recordings have been captured.
With its 1/8-inch stereo output, you can also playback your recordings
on your home audio system or listen to your masterpiece using your
favorite pair of headphones.
Secure your
memories
The H2n uses
SD/SDHC cards and can accommodate up to a 32GB SDHC card for over
50 hours of recording time using the 16-bit/44.1kHz WAV format.
With 128kbps MP3 format, you get an incredible 555 hours of stereo
recording. The H2n comes with a 2GB SD card to get you started.

High-Speed USB 2.0 interface to transfer files to your Mac or PC.
