Little Review About My First Choice Digital Recorder

Are you a journalist working in media industries? Or are you a passionate musician or film maker looking for a good digital recorder?

Well, there are so many options for you to choose on the market. Each recorder has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, today I want to talk to you about my favorite one. It's the Zoom H4n Digital Recorder. It truly is a killer when it comes to capturing top-notch records! Now let's take a closer look at it.

What makes it so different and competent in comparison with others?

The first noticeable feature I want to share with you is about its unique way of placing the mics. You know, if you want to produce top notch sound output, you have to place you mics properly. Without right mic placing, even with the best recorder, it's hard to capture the sound at maximum flavor.

The Zoom H4n Digital Recorder makes this trouble easier for you. It has a unique X/Y mics design that is very versatile for recording at different situations. You can adjust the mics at either 90 degrees or 120 degrees to fit the situation.

Have you had any recorder that has 4 channels of recording? I bet none! Zoom H4n Digital Recorder has a built-in 4 recording channels that work at the same time. What does it mean? It simply means with double the recording channels, you will double the chance of recording 'high definition' records!

Working in multi-media industries such as journalism, film making, or song writing? I know how constant a film maker, a musician or a journalist use their digital recorders. My dad is working in the industry as well, he's a journalist. Therefore, if you're looking for a decent device to capture realistic voices, this tool will be a savior! It can produce sound at 24-bit/48kHz for videos, and at 16-bit/44.1kHz for audio CDs.

Do you want to share your amazing samples with your family, friends, or colleagues while you're at a distance? Then it will never be a problem with this device. You can tune the bit-rate of outputs ranging from as high as 320kbps down to 48kbps. That way, distributing samples of your works via emails will become faster!

You're still in concern about battery issue with your old recorder? It can't withstand an 'all day long' recording activity? Well, fact is, no device can work continuously that long. But the Zoom H4n Digital Recorder is something special. It can't work 24-hour a day for you, but it can work 11 hours long continuously with its 'stamina mode!' Quite surprising, right?

Does it have any disadvantage? It sounds ideal...

Of course, nobody is perfect, that' normal. Even with this powerful tool, you will still have some minor flaws.

The first thing you would notice is it produces not much bass sounds. It can result in your voice lack of strength. And remember that do not bring it around when you want to do interview with it. Because it produces handling noises and other rumbling noises. But it's normal with all hand-held recorders.

There are other minus points as well. It's heavier than other recorders and it would be a real problem if you have to hang it on for a long interview. And in the stamina mode, it seems to take longer to boot up.
