![]() ![]() The DR-100 uses both AA batteries as well as an included rechargable battery but does not ship with an AC power adapter. The Tascam DR-100 also has XLR inputs but does lack the 1/4" inputs found on the Zoom. Like the Zoom unit, the DR-100 also has a set of "UNI" condenser mics on the front of the unit as well as two tiny pinhole "OMNI" microphones that pick up less directional sounds. No separate headphone/line out for monitoring audio - You can monitor audio but it would be nice to feed a second signal into your DSLR camera as wellīased on the original DR-100, Tascam's Mark II model offers a lot of great features for both entry level and advanced level film makers. It reminds me of the poorly designed Nikon D4 cross pad, augh Menu Dial - In order to select options in the menu you have to push a rotating wheel down which is really a pain. It might make sense for a musician but not for a photographer Large in Size - People might disagree with me but this is too large for me to personally keep in my bag. Ships with 1 GB memory card - A decent amount of space for audio Included AC Adapter - Great for longer recording sessions and nice included accessory Variable Playback - 50-100%, great for learning guitar riffs but probably not super important for video recording Here are some of the advantages and disadvantages I have found using the Zoom H4n:ĭual XLR and 1/4" input jacks - Easy to adapt different mics or audio sourcesĬlickable Rec Level Input - This button design keeps you from accidentally changing your levelsĤ Track Recording - Great for multiple interviews, demoing music, or recording live music It also features 4 channels of recording which is nice for interviews or recording performances and an audience or crowd. If you want more ambient sounds, the H4n also comes with a pair of on board microphones that let you capture true stereo in 90 and 120 degree recording patterns. Two XLR inputs with 1/4" instrument inputs allow for you to record with any sort of microphone or instrument. Priced around $300, the Zoom H4N has a lot of features for those wanting to use professional microphones. It was also one of the first to really hit the scene back with the Canon 5D Mark II showed the power of DSLR video. The Zoom H4n is one of the most popular digital recorders on the market. ![]()
