Product Information

Combine audio captured by the onboard X/Y mics with two additional external microphones to give your videos studio-quality sound in any environment. WAV WATCHING The PRERECORD function captures and saves six seconds of audio before you hit RECORD - perfect for unexpected starts.

The M4 sports a 3.5mm headphone output for real-time monitoring, a mono speaker, a 3.5mm stereo line output, and it has a full-color LCD display for adjusting and monitoring your recordings. The M4 can run on four AA batteries for up to 18 hours of continuous operation as well as USB-C bus power and the optional Zoom AD-17 AC adapter (sold separately). Zoom does not provide any specifications of the self-noise (typically a bad sign), and what specifications they do provide are disappointing. You can also save time in post-production by using the onboard NORMALIZE function to automatically raise or lower the volume of your recording to the optimal level without compressing the audio. Price & AvailabilityElastically suspended microphones and attenuating housing coating to reduce handling noise during recording On set, you can’t risk working with audio that is overdriven or too quiet. The M4 records with 32-bit float, which allows you to record audio perfectly in any situation, even without clipping.

Serious videographers use timecode to keep their audio and video perfectly in sync. The M4’s built-in timecode generator has professional grade .2 ppm accuracy. THE INS AND OUTS Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty Beginners especially struggle with setting gain levels, often making recordings that are so quiet they are not usable, or so loud that the audio distorts.. Filmmakers can use the two XLR inputs to record dialogue, while you record atmosphere via the X/Y microphones. In post-production, the M4’s built-in timecode generator makes it easy to synchronise recordings to a video. Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.It would have been really nice to see a stereo 3.5mm line input (as seen on the Zoom H1n), to give the M2 the option of using lavalier or low noise, plug-in-powered (PiP) microphones.
