As described by Samsontech, "the Zoom's most innovative handheld recorder to date."  For journalism to personal publishing, songwriting or broadcast, this device can do it all in an ultra-compact hand-held design.

<a href="http://www.pinstripemag.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/H2n-Zoom.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15084" title="H2n-Zoom" src="http://www.pinstripemag.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/H2n-Zoom.jpg" alt="H2n-Zoom" width="420" height="462" /></a>

The Zoom H2n device features 4 different recording modes: Mid-Side (MS) stereo, 90° X/Y stereo, 2-channel and 4-channel <a title="surround sound" href="http://www.pinstripemag.com/2011/07/steinway-s15-speakers-starting-22000.html">surround sound</a>.  It offers five different mic's in its design. Mid-side stereo recording coupled with a uni-directional mid mic captures sound from left and right. You can even go into a raw mode where you can control the fine tune of this balance. These mid-side stereo recording ability allows you to record vibrant, clear and robust audio giving you a more realistic 360 degree output.  The files are recorded into 2 files for more flexibility during post production.

With a <a title="3.5mm audio jack" href="http://www.pinstripemag.com/2011/07/bowers-wilkins-c5-iphone-headphones-august-2011.html">3.5mm audio jack</a> in and out as well as a mini-usb port to charge, it makes this device versatile and convenient.  A convenient Gain wheel allows you to increase or lower gain easily or leave it on auto-gain.  Save your files to the SD  <a title="memory card" href="http://www.pinstripemag.com/2011/07/att-unveils-4g-lte-hotspot-wireless-card.html">memory card</a> and transfer them to your computer for post production.

It offers 20 hours of battery life for <a title="high quality" href="http://www.pinstripemag.com/2011/06/gotti-spectacles-summer-collection.html">high quality</a> recordings and a great new data recovery feature that will retain your data even in the event of battery loss.  It will operate on 2 AA alkaline batteries in an emergency but do yourself a favor and purchase some Sanyo Eneloop rechargables, you'll thank yourself later.  AC adapter included in case you can find a wall to plug into somewhere on the fly.
