The internal microphones of the H4 are incredibly powerful.

Used when recording acoustic guitar, it works completely. You may select from varied compression and limiting modes. As predicted with a device at this price point, the build quality is good, but not remarkable. In using the Zoom H4 in the field and at home, I never once had a situation where the build quality was a responsibility. If you choose to use the H4 outside the home, I’d advocate picking up a tough case to hold it around in.

The Zoom H4 is feature-rich for the cost. This is great — it lets you connect phantom-powered microphones without delay to the unit. You may plug guitars or other instruments into the 0.25 ” inputs for direct recording. There’s also 2 built-in microphones in an X / Y stereo pattern. With recording up to 24bit / 96khz, you’ll be in a position to record however you need. It also includes a USB connection – transfer is a little slow, but it will get the job finished.

One difficulty with the H4 is the built-in preamps on the XLR inputs. This is not a problem for most tapers, since using preamps like the Lunatec V2 is common.

Using the line-in setting is a much different story. The sole issue for me is the absence of variable assume control. You need to adjust the recording level manually by sofware control, which is in contrast to several of the top-end recorders.

The Zoom H4 is noteworthy at it is $300 pricetag. Whilst a pleasant touch, the microphone modeling and guitar amp models are not awfully tough. That having been said, you can’t find a better worth anywhere for such a good recording interface. The Zoom H4 is available now from diverse outlets and sells for around $300.
