Your all-in-one
video and audio recorder
The Q3 uses the same microphone capsules as Zoom's incredible H4n
Handy Recorder, making it perfect for recording anything where great
audio and video are a must. The list of your recording possibilities
is endless: record band performances and rehearsals, interviews, conferences,
video casts, school events, and more the Zoom Q3's amazing
audio quality takes your videos to another level.
Built-in stereo
microphones for brilliant audio recording
The Zoom Q3 has two condenser microphones onboard, engineered in an
X/Y pattern for excellent imaging. Arranged with the right and left
microphones on the same axis, this design ensures that the microphones
are always an equal distance from the sound source for perfect capture,
without phase issues. The result is a great sounding recording with
natural depth and highly accurate imaging every time... all at the
touch of a Q3 button.
Excellent video
quality with a large screen for on-the-go viewing
You'll be amazed by the quality of the videos you capture with the
Zoom Q3. This mighty little gadget can capture MPEG-4 SP videos at
640 x 480 resolution. Cooler yet, it has a 2.4" LCD screen with
a 320 x 240 viewing resolution, so you can check out the videos you
just captured, or load up your card for on-the-go watching of your
favorite newly created flicks. There's even a built-in speaker and
a jack for your headphones, so you're 100% ready for playback.
The Q3 also simplifies
the process of transferring your videos to a computer and sharing
them with others. A short USB 2.0 cable is built into the Q3, so you'll
never have to go digging for a cable. Mac and Windows compatible HandyShare
software is included
The user can also
put the Q3 into audio-only recording mode
and capture high-resolution audio at 96 kHz 24-bit.
The Q3's LCD display features bright and accurate audio meters (in
both audio and video modes) so you can easily make sure your levels
aren't clipping. You can also turn on the Q3's "Auto Record Level"
feature which adjusts the microphone sensitivity automatically for
optimum results.
The first lesson
that most agencies learn is that if your audio isn't clear, the overall
quality of your recording will really suffer. With the Q3, you can
be sure that everything you shoot will sound realistic and engaging.
Whether you're looking for a portable audio recorder or a portable
video camera, the Q3 will deliver excellent audio and video quality,
and a whole new world of possibilities.
