H2n : An excellent package!

I got the Zoom H2N for a portable recorder that I can always carry around and it does that very well. I have recorded everything from shopping mall audience and meetings to thunder strikes and impulse responses with great results. I even sampled an old piano I have found in a house rented for vacation and that worked out brilliantly as well.

The preamp does became noisy when turned up, but with today's state-of-the-art digital noise reduction algorithms this has not been a hindrance at all.

The unit is packed with features, it even works as an audio interface / SD card reader (when connected to the PC via an USB cable).

The only con is the somewhat strange menu selector switch, which does require a bit of a practice.
