Zoom H4n Pro

4-Tracks, Unlimited Creativity. Advanced X/Y microphones, incredibly natural-sounding preamps, and built-in cutting-edge effects make the H4n Pro the ultimate portable 4 track recorder for musicians.

A New Look on a Classic Design

Meant to travel anywhere, the H4n Pro’s design is the gold standard in portable recording. Available in Classic and new All Black finish.

The Ultimate Handheld Recording Studio

With onboard X/Y microphones, two combo input jacks, overdubbing, effects, and more, the H4n Pro is packed with features that allows musicians to create songs from start to finish.

Take Your Live Show Home

The H4n Pro is capable of recording the loudest and heaviest performances, up to 140 dB SPL without distortion. Take a line-level* stereo feed from the mixing console and capture room ambience with the X/Y microphones.

* +4dBu line-level is not supported.

Professional Grade Preamps

The H4n Pro features high performance, low-noise mic preamps with recording resolutions up to 24-bit/96 kHz. The improved noise floor (-120 dBu EIN) captures audio at lower volumes with less noise and fewer artifacts.

USB Audio Interface

Functioning as a 2-input/2-output USB audio interface for PC or Mac, the H4n Pro enables you to record directly to your computer.

Never Miss a Take

Pre-Record
Capture two seconds* of audio before you hit RECORD with the Pre-Record function and never miss the start of a great take.
