cheap
plastic construction feels like it dropped out of a cereal box
no feature is spared on the Zoom H4n
MTR mode is awkward to operate using the included controls
Rumbling noises caused by handling the recorder were minimal
no meter to show you how much power remains
very edges of the low-frequency range were a little lost
a turn-off in design is the rubbery cover
this post was not useful for you
hard to miss the big red record button on the front
speaker for playing back recordings without the need for headphones
not always ideal to bring an entire kit with you
there's no battery strength indicator
all a bit confusing at first
the battery compartment is not meant for large hands
It looks long and complicated
The manual does not clearly describe how to setup the Zoom H4
Zoom hasn t come to the Android party
These microphones are very susceptible to wind noise
way too much self-noise for nature recording
the jacks are not self-locking
lack of a dedicated level knob is a major problem
Zoom H4 was not the first portable digital recorder
The headphone preamp is weak and it is difficult to monitor
a short drop will shatter the thing
The jog dial button feels very insubstantial
the sound is a bit muddy
The central menu button is very squishy and imprecise
The built-in microphones are quite sensitive
quality digital audio field recorders can be quite costly
it was clearly not designed for professionals
these batteries will last a few hours
costs an arm and a leg
you can only regulate the power output for the entire device
headphone/line output is UNBALANCED
some users have reported losing their data when the batteries die
there s no way to set the minimum or target bitrates
it wasn t a 4-track recorder
Data loss is an especially bad thing
s not an option on most XLR mics
