ZOOM H2 Handy Recorder – Brilliant Stereo Recording
The ZOOM H2 Handy Recorder begins with a simple idea: provide brilliant stereo recording in an easy-to-use, ultra-portable device. Now everyone can record pristine audio in an infinite variety of applications. No matter what kind of recording you want to make, the ZOOM H2 can effortlessly record it. 

Why four mics are better than two
The ZOOM H2 has dual X/Y configured stereo mics which allowing you to record at 90° from the front or 120° from the rear. This is ideal for capturing a wide and contiguous stereo image. You can even use both two pairs to produce a four-channel recording with 360° coverage. After recording, the built-in 3D panning function gives you full control over the front/rear/left/right balance. Or use commonly available authoring software to create 5.1 surround recordings.

24bit / 96kHz linear PCM and MP3 recording
The ZOOM H2 could records in 24bit/96kHz linear PCM(WAV files)or MP3 format.

Secure Your Digital Memories
The ZOOM H2 records on Secure Digital (SD) media and a 512MB SD card is included. The ZOOM H2 can accommodate up to a 32GB SDHC card (*). And with the onboard USB port, you can move your recordings to your computer or you can even move MP3 files to ZOOM H2 and use it as a music player.

BWF compatible time stamping and track markers
The ZOOM H2 supports BWF (Broadcast Wave Format), your files can be set with timestamp information and markers(cue points)during recording. This makes playback and editing much more efficient.

Automatic recording function
You can set the ZOOM H2 to automatically start recording when audio is detected and stop when audio ceases. This allows you to capture all the important audio you want while minimizing the total recording time.

Pre-record feature means no surprises
Sometimes the audio you want to record begins suddenly. But with the ZOOM H2 you'll never miss a beat. It can be set to continuously record the most recent two seconds of audio in memory.

Auto Gain Control and Low-Cut Filter
Its sophisticated Auto Gain Control (AGC)function and Low-Cut Filter means the ZOOM H2 can automatically record at the right level while eliminating unwanted low frequency noise. Or, you can manually control the gain levels with the Low/Mid/High selector and then fine-tune the levels.

It's also a USB mic...
The ZOOM H2 can also function as a USB microphone, letting you record directly to your computer.

Built-in normalizing and file splitting functions
You can divide a recorded file at any desired point, right on the ZOOM H2. The built-in normalizing feature(*) lets you optimize the volume level, and can even convert WAV files into MP3s.
 * The normalizing function is not applied to MP3 files. 

Versatile playback modes
Choose between single-file playback, single-file repeat, all-file playback, or all-file repeat. This is great when using the ZOOM H2 as an MP3 player.

Support for plug-in power type external mics
The input jack for external stereo mics supports plug-in power, letting you select suitable equipment for any situation.

Tuner & metronome enhance practice sessions
The built-in tuner allows you to quickly check the pitch of a vocalist or tune an instrument. The onboard metronome can serve as a click-track during recording.  

Intuitive design
Thanks to its simple and logical user interface, most functions can be controlled with one hand. The backlit 128×64 pixel LCD makes navigating the graphical menus quick and easy.

Four hours of continuous operation
The low-power circuitry in the ZOOM H2 makes it possible to run the unit continuously for about 4 hours on two AA alkaline batteries. For longer sessions, simply plug in the supplied AC adapter(AD-0006).

Accessories for any application
The ZOOM H2 comes with a desktop stand, a mic clip adapter, a mic stand, a 512MB SD card, earbuds, a windscreen, AC adapter, a USB cable, and a 1/8-inch to RCA stereo cable.
