Key Features and Benefits: Unique X/Y microphones arrangement captures perfect stereo images Onboard X/Y stereo condenser microphones are arranged with the right and left microphones on the same axis. This design ensures that the microphones are always an equal distance from the sound source for perfect localization without phase shifting. Frequency response remains uniform throughout your recording. The result is great stereo recording with natural depth and accurate imaging every time. Unmatched versatility from selectable recording patterns Custom designed, onboard X/Y stereo condenser microphones allow variable recording patterns. H4n's unique design lets you rotate each microphone capsule for the ultimate versatility in any recording situation. Now your recordings can be richer than ever before. Secure your digital memories on SD and SDHC cards The H4n uses compact SD or high-capacity SDHC memory cards. Unlike other media such as tape or discs, SD cards produce no mechanical noise, are not disturbed by vibrations and are readily available for your convenience. Phrase trainer with speed control playback Learning songs is now a breeze with the H4n's adjustable playback speed that ranges from 50 to 150 percent, while keeping pitch the same. This is also a great feature for learning a language, conference recording, and various electronic news gathering (ENG) situations. Low-cut filter and limiter for better recordings With its low-cut filter, the H4n effectively reduces unwanted background noise like wind or air-conditioning noise. A variety of compressors and limiters help to optimize the dynamic range while preventing distortion. Capture everything with automatic recording You can set your H4n to automatically record whenever sound above your designated level is detected. This ensures that you capture everything of importance while minimizing blank sections such as when recording a conference or lecture. Edit audio, even without a computer Even without external software, you can divide a recorded file at any desired point, right on the H4n. A built-in normalizing feature lets you optimize the volume level, and you can convert WAV files into MP3 directly on the unit as well. Mid-Side stereo decoder The built-in M/S stereo decoder allows the use of external Mid-Side microphone setups. The H4n converts the mid and side channel signals into a conventional stereo (L/R) signal for even more versatility. Musician friendly tools for better practice The H4n has a number of useful tools that will be welcomed by musicians. The built-in tuner allows for quickly checking the pitch of a vocalist or tuning an instrument. The selectable metronome sound can serve as a guide rhythm during recording and is also great for practicing. Integrated reference speaker The H4n even has a built-in reference speaker to let you check recordings without earphones. It is also handy to preview playback when selecting recorded files. Large display and rubberized chassis A large, 1.9" LCD screen with backlit graphic display shows all the tracking information at a glance and makes it easy to navigate the functions of the unit. And its rubberized, shock resistant chassis also improves durability while reducing handling noise.
