Product Description

Ideally equipped for the burgeoning musician, indie filmmaker, and content creator, the Zoom H4essential Portable Recorder offers four tracks of pristine, distortion-free audio without the need to set levels. With 32-bit float recording and X/Y mics that can handle 130 dB with ease, the H4essential offers a versatile pain-free audio solution.

The dual XLR-1/4" combo inputs feature low-noise and high-quality Zoom mic preamps and sport +48V phantom power for driving professional condenser mics. An onboard mixer is easy to use with the bright 2" colour display to adjust individual tracks and directly view waveforms in real-time. The H4essential can utilize its USB-C port not only for power but also to stream up to two channels of audio to computers and smart devices, acting as a 4-in / 2-out interface. Furthermore, the recorder is tripod mountable, allowing it to be conveniently used in a fixed location or atop a camera via an adapter for field recording duties.
