The Zoom H4n Pro offers an entry-level professional recorder with true 4-channel input capability. This is an improved version of the classic H4n, featuring lower-noise (-120dBu EIN) microphone preamps, as well as a rubberized ergonomic body and built-in high-dynamic-range microphones. You'll feel the solid build quality and be impressed with the options offered by this compact PCM recorder. Digital controls and accurate 40-segment VU meters allow for precise repeatable recording sessions.
The headphone / line output can be connected to the AUX input of your marine stereo or PA system. Sound from the external microphone (hydrophone) inputs can be monitored even while not recording--allowing it to be used as a high-quality mic preamp when not recording.
Hydrophone compatibility: Use with any of our H2 hydrophones. We recommend the H2a-XLR for best connection integrity and highest dynamic range. This recorder will also work well with our PA4-P48 hydrophone preamp. The PA4 will provide very high sensitivity when used with our H1a-BNC, or will provide the appropriate interface for our AS-1 broadband hydrophone.
