everyone welcome back to digital

Parker and today will be taking a look
at this zoom
h4n audio recorder which is a handy tool
for both filmmakers and music makers
alike we first get the h1n comes with an
AC adapter
a USB cord a cheap 1 gigabyte memory
card
handle a windscreen and of course
the age for itself vh1 include various
features
such as a two-inch black-and-white LCD
screen
to display audio levels and to scroll
through the menus I'm it also has LED
indicator lights
to display which microphone using it has
convenient menu 1
and audio control once now when I first
opened the box
I was really really surprised at how big
it was
it was really balky and I guess I that
could be considered a negative thing
especially with me because I'm walking
around iraq to hold the camera
and as you make foreign same time it
uses a standard
SD card and also includes a one gigabyte
sheep SD card he also has a headphone
jack cheese looking
idea well recording and also in playback
but it also
speaker for playback economy headphones
handy one call feature
this audio recorder is the power saving
option called stamina mode
the regular mode has a battery life
around six hours
stamina most turned on this barry like
can go up to
11 hours almost double the amount of
time
a great thing about my phone is that
it's just a great quality microphone
and can be customized many ways person s
4 microphone inputs the built-in
microphone
the 18 inch mic jack into
XLR inputs I use the h4n with my
as dan SGM 1x and it works really well
and if your camera doesn't have a mic
jack you can plug in a lot new
microphone
to the back at the h4n and use it as a
standard one-eighth inch my check
it also supports microphones with
phantom power
little this audio recorder also has many
features such as
audio gain control and on audio limiter
so that the audio doesn't go above a
certain level which can be handy for
concerts
and someone like screaming now that
we've gone over the Tech Specs
text X tex-mex I like tacos
now that we've gone over all the
technical specifications let's do a
hands-on demonstration
alright so right here we have the zoom
h4n originally go and turn it on

and once you get here you'll see two
timing

the back sure if you're using a
my check HERE you can't like a late on
its back you up to
put it up and that's just weird summer
why did I like that maybe next 10

side somewhere
and here we have the
pop the AC adapter whole and the two XLR
