Product details
With four tracks, 32-bit float recording, enhanced X/Y microphones, and two XLR/TRS inputs, creatives have more options for recording their music, podcasts, and audio for video.
Thanks to the 32-bit float recording, the H4essential achieves an even higher dynamic range, allowing audio signals to be captured distortion-free and in perfect quality at all times.
The two XLR/TRS combo inputs feature Zoom's exceptionally clean preamps, while the built-in X/Y microphones can handle an extreme sound pressure level of up to 130 dB, equivalent to a rock concert.
Stream in 32-bit float format and record simultaneously on an SD card. When connected to a PC, Mac, iOS, or Android device via the USB-C port, the H4essential can be used as an audio interface with 4 inputs and 2 outputs.
With the help of the BTA-1 Bluetooth adapter, you can pair with your iOS device to remotely start recording, adjust the mix, visualize waveforms, and change other settings.
