The H2n Handy Recorder is the only portable recording device to come with five built-in microphones and four different recording modes: X/Y, Mid-Side, 2-channel surround and 4-channel surround. Other advanced features include automatic gain control and onboard MS decoding, plus effects like compression, limiting and low cut filtering. You can even use the H2n as a multi-purpose USB microphone!
USING THE H2N
With its multiple microphones and recording modes, the H2n can handle just about every kind of application. Here are just a few ways it can be used:
Live recording of concerts and rehearsals, in either stereo or surround sound
Location videography—the H2n gives you plenty of options in post-production
Creating audio for YouTube videos
Generating lasting audio documents of important events
As a USB microphone providing input to recording software
FIVE MICROPHONES, FOUR WAYS OF RECORDING
The H2n offers not one, not two, but five built-in microphones. Two of them are arranged as an X/Y pair, while the other three are configured in an MS ("Mid-Side") pattern. They can be used separately for X/Y or MS stereo recording, or combined to create stunning 2- or 4-channel surround sound.
