The Zoom H2 is based upon a simple idea:
provide brilliant stereo recording in an easy-to-use, ultra-portable
device. Now you can record pristine audio in an infinite variety of
applications. From seminars and conferences, to electronic news
gathering (ENG) and podcasting, to musical performances, songwriting
sessions and rehearsals, the H2 provides amazing recording quality. And
no matter what kind of music you perform or the instrument you play,
the Zoom H2 can effortlessly record it in high-quality stereo.
The H2 is the only portable recorder with 4 mic
capsules onboard for 360° recording. With 4 mic capsules in a W-X/Y
configuration, the audio is decoded instantly, bringing these four
signals together for unparalleled stereo imaging.
But the H2 doesn't stop there. For maximum
flexibility, you can record from the front of the H2 and at 90° or the
rear of H2 at 120° in up to 96 kHz/24-bit WAV format, as MP3 up to 320
kbps. Additionally, you can record 360° in 48kHz/24-bit format which
will allow you to convert your recordings to 5.1 Surround.
That's all it takes to start recording! The H2
is a remarkably robust device that is incredibly easy to use. One
button recording, gain controls on the side and an intuitive user
interface mean you can always capture the moment. Set your levels, push
record and go. It's that simple. Or use the Auto Start and Auto Gain
Control functions to ensure complete capture at the right level. And if
you need to fine-tune your levels on the fly, we made it easy with gain
control buttons on the front panel.
Play your recordings on your home audio system
with its 1/8" stereo output or listen to your masterpiece with
headphones. Or, use the H2's USB interface to move your recordings to
your Mac or PC to listen, edit and share.
