Zoom H2 Digital audio recorder

I must have been a good boy this year. Santa dropped off an early present, a Zoom H2 digital audio recorder. This bad boy has 4 microphones in it and can record 360 degrees around it. And no, I haven't taken it apart to see how it works...yet

Nice

Yeah, comes complete with a 95 page instruction manual I hope I get it read by the 17 for your investigation

Thanks Gerry, that looks awesome. Ive looked around for one of these but couldnt find one but now I know the name of it I should be able to find one now.

I got mine from Amazon.com, they have some good prices on them. The recorders are now coming with a 1GB SD card instead of a 512 MB one, but I'd recommend at least a 4GB card, I ordered a 8 G card and the recorder works with up to 16 GB

WOW, I really like that, I, being the audio wiz so want 1 =)

very cool device, aren't they intended for music originally?


never the less what a great tool for evp's!

Yes, it was. Just like most other pieces of equipment used in the hobby were designed for other purposes too. I hope it works out well.

Definetly let me know how it works for ya. Looking at getting a new recorder soon but dont want to be the Ginny Pig. LOL J/K Im sure it will work well.

So far it seems to work pretty good. I like the stand that comes with it so it stands up verticaly not laying down on a surface like normal audio recorders. If you are going to use it in either the 2 or 4 channel mode I'd make a drawing of the room that it's being used in and where and how the recorder is placed. That way when you review the audio you'll know what direction it came from. Ther recorder generates separate wav files for each direction/mic used, I haven't figured out how to put them all together yet.

I ordered the H4N the other day, cant wait to get it =)

Zoom makes a good piece of equipment. As a musican, I have used zoom gear for years (primarily effects processors, though).
