#zoom_h4n_handy_digital_recorder I used the previous model (H4) and was pleased to upgrade to the H4n. We use our Zoom Handy Recorders to record world music in the field, off the grid, and to record audio commentary for YouTube videos in our home studio.
I have been recording live performances with high quality equipment for 40 years, and this simple, compact, adaptable unit beats all.
