Now everyone 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 H2 can effortlessly record it in high-quality stereo.Why four mics are better than two.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.

 Rating:  - great little box for the money and its a proper UK model with free delivery!I completely agree with "robin Hood's" review. Its a fantastic piece of kit for the money. I also got mine from Absolute Music Solutions and it came with a UK power adapter as well as usb cables etc. Mine also even came with some small in-ear headphones. Free delivery was extremely fast. I ordered on bank holiday monday and it arrived on wednesday morning. The company sent me numerous emails letting me know when the H2 was dispatched and keeping me updated as to its E.T.A. I would definitely buy from them again. I also bought a Transcend 8Gb SDHC card which works perfectly. If you check Zoom's japanese website there is a list of compatable cards including Transcend's 16Gb card. Rating:  - Some big downsides let it downWell, actually I'd give it more than one star, but I though 1 star would attract attention. Anyway, it adds a bit of balance to the 5star reviews. I've used the H2 in a number of contexts, and found it very useful, but there's a few problems with the design, enough to make someone think seriously about not buying it. I've been in correspondance with Zoom about these faults, and they apologised for "not meeting expectations" and asked for any user feedback that I cared to provide. Anyway, here's how I got on 1) As a sketchbook recorder. I recorded myself improvising quite sparsely on a ukelele...easy to do and sounded good. The on-board mics are very good, rumored to be the same capsules ...

Rating: - Simple device with great resultsIt's a great recorder with good quality, doesn't need any tricky software, since it can be used as a card reader. Very sensitive to handling noise - so find a good place for recording. Good value for money Rating: - Excellent recorderMine arrived from absolute music solutions and came with all the extras (UK)power addapter usb cable etc. All you need is two AA batteries and you're up and running. I did have an excellent Olympus voice recorder, but for live music this is streets ahead, because you can set the record volumes on the H2 but everything is fixed on a voice recoder and music is distorted at high and low pitch. This unit is fairly straightforward to use once you get used to the duel function buttons. The transfer to computer is slow by USB, I think it is only standard USB, but a card reader is the easy answer to that. Also a small built in speaker would be nice for playback checking.Easy answer is a pair of small portable speakers or phones. ... Read More: |
