The Zoom H2N handy recorderis the industry standard for digital audio recorders: journalists, podcasters, musicians, everybody will find a perfect use for the H2n, thanks to its outstanding stereo audio recording quality.

Mid-Side recording is an incredible technique that allows you to actually adjust the width of the stereo image after it has been recorded, while maintaining perfect mono compatibility, making it especially useful for film, video and television projects.
