The handheld Zoon H4n digital recorder feels comfortable in the hand. With dimensions of 2.6" x 6.1" x 1.9", you can easily slip into your coat pocket, briefcase or backpack. The housing of the microphone is metal while plastic is used for the front plate. The body is enclosed in a rubberized coating. Despite the solid feel, the microphones move slightly when switching the angle settings giving you the impression that the mic could snap off with improper handling.
There is a backlit LCD screen that indicates what is going on and it is bright and clear so that it is easily readable. There are crisp buttons that are clearly labeled. The H4n package comes with a 1GB SD card, a windscreen, a mic clip adapter, an AC adaptor, USB cable, protective case, a CD-Rom with Cubase LE recording software and the owner’s manual. A remote control is an optional accessory.
The H4n is quite easy to use and you would not need to read the manual to be able to operate it. It has a built-in mounting hole for a tripod or a mic stand at the back. There is a speaker monitor where you can hear your recording. There is a Menu button that will help you navigate through its menu tree plus a Jog Dial on the unit’s right side. If you work with a computer’s file menu system then you will figure out the H4n fast. The features of the H4n are well received, a stereo recorder, a USB microphone and a 4-track multi-track recorder, it is just the gadget to have for those quick recording needs.
