About this deal

The H2n provides an arsenal of effects that allow you to add polish to your recordings and compensate for any problems or limitations in the acoustics of the recording environment. Runs on only 2 standard AA alkaline or NiMH rechargeable batteries, or AC adapter (AD-17, USB to AC type) Lastly you can either delete that single file you selected, or delete all! Next one on the list is “Input”.

Usually you will record a band, while facing the Zoom H2n towards it. Very rarely will you have to set it up in the center of the band. File Name: Will allow you to change between the default name which would be something like Zoom0001(XY).wav, or date name, which names it after the time of the recording. I wouldn’t add compression because you can then do this directly in your recording software, which is a better way to go about it. The problem was the sampling rate used by the Zoom H2 compared to the sampling rate that Windows 10 was expecting. When windows 10 installs the Zoom H2 as an audio interface, it sets the sampling rate in the settings at 48khz. However, the default setting for the Zoom H2 is 44.1khz. If they don't match, it won't work.Pre Rec: Turning this option on will always record, deleting everything that is being recorded but keeping two seconds of it. Once you press the record button it will add those 2 seconds to your recording.

This is useful if you are recording a meeting or a podcast and you want to mark certain parts of the recording, allowing you to jump to those parts easily. The basic difference between Mid-Side and X/Y is that, the “mid” microphone is facing the source directly, getting a mono image of it! The Side microphone (in the Zoom H2n’s case two microphones), face to the sides.

And that’s it! You can now use it to record, being able to change between all recording modes, changing the gain, etc. You have the ability to control this with the “play”button, if you push it upwards you DECREASE the side microphones level, if push it downwards you INCREASE it. With Mid-Side you will be able to record them all perfectly, plus you can emphasize or de-emphasize certain parts of the song, by increasing or lower the volume on the side mics.The H2 can be powered either by two standard AA batteries or a power adapter. Recording time with low self-discharge 2000 mAh NiMH batteries is about 6 hours for mp3 bitrate set to 128 kbit/s. Hey – thanks for the great article! I use the H2N to record classical guitar for my teacher to critique. What I’m finding is that dynamics/volume changes in the room don’t carry through to the recording?! It seems to equalize the recording. I don’t use any compression, limiting etc on it. Just wondered if you might know what I could be doing wrong?! You could add some compression mainly to keep the level the same, since it will not only compress the louder volumes but also raise the lower ones. Use the Zoom H2n on a camera: Five built-in microphones and four recording modes: Mid-Side (MS) stereo, 90° X/Y stereo, and both 2-channel and 4-channel surround My band are due to perform another gig in a few weeks time and I just want to make sure that the recording is spoilt next time around.

Through the Auto Gain option, you can Select the Concert option, which is for loud settings, the Solo option, which is aimed at acoustic performances and the Meeting option, which is best used for low volume sources. I saw a post from two years ago about trying to use the Zoom H2 with Windows 10, and how it wouldn't work, chalking it up to using USB 3.0 ports instead of USB 2.0. The post was archived but you can see it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/audio/comments/8lj1qf/zoom_h2_on_windows_10_and_usb_30/ The monitor option can be set to Home and Rec, always on or always off. The home and rec option will only allow for monitoring while recording and while you are at the Home Screen.

Since it comes with a free Cubase License, I will assume that you are using that specific DAW and I will show you how to use certain plugins, such as the MS-decoder, in that DAW. Included in the retail box are an SD card, desk stand, handle for putting the H2 in a microphone stand, wind screen, 3.5mm TRS to RCA cable, earbud headphones, USB cable and power adapter. Or the other option would be to remove the SD card from the bottom and inserting it into an SD card reader. How to use the Zoom H2n as an Audio Interface:
