World-class recording for everyone.
Representing the next level of professional recording performance, the H4n delivers superior audio quality and dramatically improves the user experience. Zoom’s most sophisticated handheld recorder to date will amaze, no matter the application.

The H4n Handy Recorder is our most sophisticated recorder. And with its simplified user interface, it’s never been easier to make incredible recordings.

Custom-designed, X/Y stereo condenser mics record at either 90° or 120°. And our new, digitally controlled mic preamp renders audio so precise, you’ll sound like you recorded in a world-class studio!

WHY 4 CHANNELS ARE BETTER THAN 2.

Proper miking is essential to making a great recording. The H4n is the only handheld that can record on four channels simultaneously using its onboard mics with your external mics. Then use its built-in mixer for perfectly balanced recordings that are richer than ever.

IT’S ABOUT THE MUSIC.

The H4n is also a user-friendly 4-track studio. Plug in a guitar or bass and use its amp models to inspire your creativity. Onboard studio effects, tuner and phrase trainer make the H4n very musician friendly. Even use it as a USB interface to record directly to your computer.

BRAINS WITH A BODY, TOO.

Record high-resolution audio at 24bit/96kHz on SDHC media of up to 32GB. Time stamp and track marker functions give you greater control. You can even edit your recordings on the fly.

The H4n feels robust and its rubberized chassis reduces handling noise. A large LCD screen and onboard speaker take your experience to the next level.

FULLY LOADED.

Everything you need is included: a 1 GB SD card, windscreen, mic clip adapter, AC adapter, USB cable, protective case and Cubase LE recording software.
