Note on disposal:
Check your local laws and regulations for the proper disposal of batteries in your country. The following rules apply in Germany: In line with the Battery Directive (Batteriegesetzes; BattG), you as the consumer are obligated to return all batteries and rechargeable batteries. Disposal via normal household waste is not permitted! Batteries containing pollutants can be identified by the symbol of a crossed-out wheeled bin and the chemical symbol (Cd = cadmium; Hg = mercury; Pb = lead) of the metal essential for classification. Used batteries and rechargeable batteries can be returned free of charge to our shop, to other outlets where batteries are sold or to public waste management authorities.
The H2n from Zoom is a handheld recorder with five microphone capsules for four different recording modes - X/Y, mid-side, two-channel surround, and four-channel surround - which make it suitable for a wide range of applications. The H2n supports 24-bit/96kHz recording and various MP3 formats, and it also has a mic/line input with plug-in power (2.5V), a 3.5mm line/headphone output with a dedicated volume control, and a USB port that not only serves to transfer data but also as an interface for operation as a USB microphone. In addition to the recorder, this bundle also includes a USB cable, a wired remote control, a wind shield, a padded carrying case, and an SD card with a storage capacity of 16GB. The H2n can be powered either using the USB power supply or two AA batteries. Users who prefer to use rechargeable batteries can of course also use the included Ansmann Comfort Mini charger and save themselves the bother of regularly purchasing new batteries.
Thanks to its built-in effects, the H2n can be used to enhance recordings while they are still being made. Three different compressors and limiters together with an 80Hz low-cut filter help the user to keep their recordings free from distortion, while automatic recording functions such as Auto-Gain, Auto-Record, and Pre-Record actively support the user during operation. Those who prefer a more "hands-on" approach will appreciate the wired remote control, in addition to which the H2n provides useful playback functions and others such as loop playback with definable start and end points, playback speed control, and a metronome with a pre-count feature. Normalisation of WAV files, an editing function, and MP3 encoding round off the package.
The H2n is a versatile handheld recorder for stereo and surround recordings that can also be mounted directly on a DSLR or tripod, and audio recordings for videos, concerts, or music rehearsals can be made in excellent audio quality using its four selectable recording modes. The H2n can also be used in other ways: Connected to a computer, the recorder can be used as a USB microphone, and voiceovers, podcasts, and other voice recordings can be recorded using a suitable DAW.
Founded in 1983, the Japanese company Zoom manufactures a variety of audio equipment, including a range of portable "handy" recorders as well as multi-effects processors, effects pedals, drum machines, and samplers. Over the past thirty years, the company has built a reputation for producing innovative yet affordable products based on original microchip designs. Since the Zoom-9002 (an ultra-compact multi-effects processor that can be attached to a guitar strap) was introduced in 1990, Zoom has become one of the leaders in digital audio processing.
The mid/side recording technique allows mono-compatible stereo recordings to be made with variable stereo width by using the onboard MS decoder to adjust the stereo width of the signal either during or after recording by raising or lowering the level of the side microphone. The XY recording technique in turn is used to record natural-sounding stereo recordings with a clearly defined centre. For realistic surround recordings, the H2n combines these two recording techniques. In this way, firmware v2.0 can be used to create 360-degree spatial audio files, a surround sound format that is perfect for the Google Jump virtual reality platform.
