    Great review. It also has a setting to stop the sea just in time, which is very impressive for a small recorder. 🖖

    Really helpful and inspiring review. Technical, but not “dry”, and the sound samples thoroughly back up the potential of this model. Thanks.

    at 6:50 That’s awesome I have the zoom H 1. It does not do this well. It’s a very cheap microphone only preamp that clips nonstop if you try a line level input

    Great video and am pleased with the shots that show clear differences. I am just getting started with the H2n and have some questions about two settings. I have the LO CUT set to on to eliminate noise as much as possible and have the limiter set to GENERAL to eliminate any peaking. So no compensator to prevent gain going up during quiet passages. How did you turn these on or off and why. I will be using the microphone for outdoor noise. Thanks for your explanation. Greetings from Franeker.

    Hi! I'm not using any limiters or lo cuts, i prefer to use muff (cat) to eliminate rumble from wind and volume level on 3-4 during recording to keep signal nicely recorded with plenty of headroom. I'm editing all audio in DAW whereas it is possible to manipulate volume etc. If you using your H2n mostly for recording of ambient sounds and noises i would recommend to use lo-cut around 80 and leave volume at 4-5, in case if you would use limiter there is big chance of higher volume of background hiss on the recording. Thanks!

    @@TechieViewVideo Thank you for your response. So my gain of 7 is way too high? I also thought I heard a sonorous hum in quiet passages, maybe that's because of that high gain. However, with a gain of 5 in MS mode, the db meters don't get much higher than -18 with some rumble sounds here on the kitchen table. Maybe I should go outside and record some sounds.

    Hi, Yes, 7 could be a bit too high for my taste, i always recommend to record digital audio somewhere - 18 - 15, in some rare cases it can go up to - 10, remember that you always need to have enough of headroom for work with the recorded file in DAW. Thanks!

    You gain a new subscriber . What will be your advice for someone like me. My channel is about city walk and i want to improve the sound quality. H1n and h2n which of them will you recommend and also which software can i use to process the audio to get the best quality out from the recorder

    Hi! First of all, thank you for subscribing, much appreciated. It's all depends on budget, for starters with limited budget H1n would be a great option, one can mount it on top of the camera rig, made a connection to the aux in and record sound from the microphone of H1n directly to the camera. H1n could also be used as stand alone recorder whereas one can sink audio with video later in software. H1n able to record very good audio with 24 Bit 96 KHz. H2n will be an absolute great option for anyone who is busy with video production of any kind. Its truly versatile and very capable device, it has multi-microphone design whereas it is possible to record spatial, surround, stereo or just mono audio in high quality with very low noise level. H2n could be mounted on a rig or used as stand alone main or back up audio recording solution. It works 20 hours on batteries which is much longer than most of the devices of that sort. Regarding software, ProTools is the best for audio manipulation of any kind, it also has a free version which is more than enough for editing audio for video. Cubase would be my number 2, Adobe Audition is at number 3. Besides that you can always improve recorded audio in Blackmagic Davinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere Pro or Apple Final Cut Pro all of those packages have quite good or even extended audio editing capabilities. Also, you might be interested in some of Izotope products. Hope it helps! 😉

    The Zoom h2n is the best product in terms of mics for me. I've tested some other (more expensive) zooms and I still think h2n beats them.

    I used mine only a few times then the toggle button used to navigate the menu stopped working. Only let's me navigate up and won't select anything. It's a shame as I quite liked it. Not sure if I can get it repaired or if I should buy something else.

    Hi so when I started up my H2N, and i click on the menu button, I do not have as many options as I see in other videos. I only have 4 options and they do not nearly have as many options as I have seen you and others have in videos. I cannot even format my SD card, would you happen to know why that is?

    IS IT TOO SENSITIVE? Did you come across a situation when this device picks up TOO MUCH noise from the room? Which makes public recording almost unusable. Using with batteries to record piano in a public space. Same with recording around a conference table, If so, any setting you recommend to avoid this kind of situation? Thanks!

    Hi! In short - yes, it is! It is not a new model, but it is very capable little Handy Recorder which is able to make serious audio recordings in 24 Bit format it is also one of not so many recorders which is supporting "spatial audio" standard. Besides of array of the microphones it also has 3.5mm jacks for in/out which is quite handy if you want to make simple stereo recording from basically any source. There is plenty of other things it can do, so it is a very good recorder even in 2023 after long years of presence on the market. H6 is my favorite recorder I'm using it quite often when in need for "pro" connection and / or multi-channel, it's perfect for what it is. Thanks!
