Product Description
The H2 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. From seminars and conferences to electronic news gathering (ENG) interviews and podcasting to musical performances songwriting sessions and rehearsals the H2 provides amazing recording quality. And no matter what kind of recording you want to make the H2 can effortlessly record it. Why four mics are better than two Recording an exceptionally realistic stereo image can be a challenge with a conventional mic pair. The H2 has dual X/Y configured stereo mics facing front and rear. This is ideal for capturing a wide and contiguous stereo image. There are two sets of mics - one pair facing the front and one pair facing the rear - allowing you to record at 90 from the front or 120 from the rear. 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. No other portable digital recorder has this ability. 24bit/96kHz linear PCM and MP3 recording The H2 gives you amazing versatility with its wide variety of recording formats. Choose 24bit/96kHz linear PCM (WAV files) format for the highest audio quality that surpasses CDs. Or record in MP3 format in an almost any bit rate when long recording capability and smaller file sizes are your goals. Even 4-channel 360 recordings can be made in 24bit/48kHz format. Capture the fine nuances of an acoustic instrument or the realistic ambience of a venue with the H2's utterly transparent high-resolution recording capability. Secure Your Digital Memories The H2 records on Secure Digital (SD) media and a 512MB SD card is included. Compact and readily available SD memory cards are immune to vibrations and produce no mechanical

I completely agree with "robin Hood's" review. Its a fantastic piece of kit for the money. br / br /I also got mine from Absolute Music Solutions and it came with a UK power adapter as well as usb cables etc. Mine also even came with some small in-ear headphones. Free delivery was extremely fast. I ordered on bank holiday monday and it arrived on wednesday morning. The company sent me numerous emails letting me know when the H2 was dispatched and keeping me updated as to its E.T.A. I would definitely buy from them again. I also bought a Transcend 8Gb SDHC card which works perfectly. If you check Zoom's japanese website there is a list of compatable cards including Transcend's 16Gb card.
Well worth it!. April 23, 2008

Simple to use and very versatile.Admittedly i haven't tried the competition but this is as good as minidisc at the very least!.Using a plug-in mic,as one reviewer noted,is not very good.But one reason i bought it is because i got fed up with carrying external mic's and leads around all the time.With this beauty it's a case of pressing the record button twice and off you go.At 60 cheaper than its nearest rival it's a steal.
Simple device with great results April 21, 2008

It's a great recorder with good quality, doesn't need any tricky software, since it can be used as a card reader. br /Very sensitive to handling noise - so find a good place for recording. br /Good value for money
Excellent recorder April 5, 2008

Mine arrived from absolute music solutions and came with all the extras (UK)power addapter usb cable etc. br /All you need is two AA batteries and you're up and running. br / I did have an excellent Olympus voice recorder, but for live music this is streets ahead, because you can set the record volumes on the H2 but everything is fixed on a voice recoder and music is distorted at high and low pitch. br /This unit is fairly straightforward to use once you get used to the duel function buttons. br /The transfer to computer is slow by USB, I think it is only standard USB, but a card reader is the easy answer to that. br /Also a small built in speaker would be nice for playback checking.Easy answer is a pair of small portable speakers or phones. br /I gave 5 stars because the above two points are only personal niggles, the recorder performance is very good and I think you would have to pay serious money for any improvement you could notice.
