H2n : Good Sound

The Zoom H2N does what it's supposed to do: record in high quality. It's pretty easy to use (record). The knob settings are confusing unless you have burned them into your memory: MS, XY, 2CH, and 4CH. I use 2CH and 4CH because I know what they mean and am too lazy to look up the documentation pertaining the other settings. It saves the multi-channel files into a file system that I find kind of bizarre, but again, it may be because I don't like to read instructions. The Zoom H2N is great for recording all kinds of sounds on the fly. I like to record birds, and this unit works perfectly in that case. If you use it to record acoustic guitar to use on a recording it works less great. It's a neat toy, like a cassette recorder about the size of a bigass pocket camera. Summery: If you want to record music, look elsewhere. Other than that, it works fine.
