Zoom H4n 8-Piece Recorder w SoniCase Soft-shell Carrying Case Bundle

I just picked this unit up yesterday, so my review is based on my initial findings just playing around. Please note that this review is only of the H4n ext, and not for/of the seller.

The product itself is very well designed. It's got a little weight to it (feels solid to me), and I could see it getting a bit tiring holding this out at arms length for extended periods. luckily it's got a standard tripod screw mount (like you'd find on the bottom of a camera/video camera). The unit I bought also contained a small mic stand adapter... a plastic dowel with a tripod screw on the bottom.

The surprising thing was that this unit runs on two standard Double-A batteries. At first, I was expecting some kind of rechargable ni-cad pack. Honestly, I like this better anyway. In the end, I'd ALWAYS prefer to have a power source that I can pick up in any convenience store just about anywhere, as opposed to having to rely on finding somewhere to recharge.

This unit sounds amazing,and it does everything; Great stereo recordings, use the built-in mics and/or your own and/or plug in a combination of mics. You can even run mics and two line inputs from the board or straight from instruments.It's a multi-track recorder with digital effects and dynamics proccessing. Use it as a card reader.
The big thing is; REALLY EA
SY TO USE. VERY INTUITIVE.
Buy the remote too, it's well worth it. The remote even has a green l.e.d. that flashes yellow and then red as you approach clipping levels. That's incredibly handy when you're trying to play an instrument and run the recorder too. You can also change recording levels from the remote along with transport controls etc.. etc...
Last but not least it was a killer package deal from Amazon and Unique Squared. The headphones even sound great!

This was a really nice package deal. The H4n itself has really impressed me, you can actually adjust the XLR inputs individually, just RTFM (read the manual!). The headphones sound very decent but fit on my head a little weird (they feel loose). The cheapo stand ACTUALLY holds up the H4n... rather well. I thought i would just throw it away but it works. I also like the little "handle" looking thing, which is designed to screw into the H4n and then be put into a mic stand. I originally thought it was some kind of handle to walk around with it, which would be stupid.

Haven't used the remote control yet, but this deal is worth the buy in my opinion (your going to spend 300 just on the h4n) might as well get a buncha little extras like the memory card.
