![]() ![]() ![]() SURROUND SOUND FOR LIFELIKE REALISM (2CH & 4CH) The H2n allows you to combine the signals from both the X/Y and MS microphones in order to create surround sound recordings of everything you hear-not just those sounds coming from in front of you, but from all directions. ![]() The H4n and DR-40s internal mics are also angled at 90 degrees from each other so you get a nice stereo sound. One faces forward and the other two face to the side. Both the H4n and the DR-40 have mics that can swivel between recording angles (90-120 degrees), while the DR-100mkII doesnt. The three microphone elements in the H2n MS mic are set directly on top of one another. MID-SIDE FOR VARIABLE STEREO WIDTH Mid-Side recording is an incredible technique that allows you to actually adjust the width of the stereo image after it has been recorded, while maintaining perfect mono compatibility, making it especially useful for film, video and television projects. XY MICROPHONES The X/Y technique provides a great way to cover a wide area while still capturing sound sources in the center with clarity and definition, making it perfect for all types of live stereo recording. But they’re one of the biggest names when it comes to portable recording devices. Japanese manufacturer Zoom builds everything from audio interfaces to multi-effects guitar pedals. MS = Mid-side recording ideal for film audio – point rear of recorder toward sound source. Alright, now let’s unpack what you can expect from each of these handheld recorders. XY = Basic stereo recording – point front of recorder toward sound source. A decade ago I did an A/B comparison and plugged my Schoeps into a Zoom H4N and the difference in quality to the onboard mics. The 4CH mode uses all 5 Mics and save it on two different files. The 2CH mode uses all 5 Mics and save it on a single file. The main difference between 2CH, and 4CH is the file saving method. The recorder has 4 different recording modes. Here is a recording modes comparison, samples, and sound test video of a portable Zoom H2N Recorder. Zoom H2N Recording Mode Samples & Sound Quality Tests (Voice & Music) ![]()
