H4n Inputs and Outputs
Inputs
- Dual XLR/¼" combo input jacks allow you to connect microphones, line-level signals, or even instruments directly into the H4n. Phantom power of +24 or +48 volts can be applied to both inputs, allowing the use of condenser mics. There's also a secondary stereo ⅛" input for the connection of microphones requiring 2.5 volts of Plug-In Power.
Outputs
- A stereo ⅛" Line/Phone Out with dedicated volume control allows private monitoring over headphones as well as connection to the audio input of your DSLR—the H4n even has a built-in speaker for fast monophonic monitoring without the need to make any connections. In addition, a USB port allows recorded audio to be sent your favorite DAW and/or editing software and enables the H4n to act as a 2-in/2-out computer interface.
Pre-Record and Auto-Record
The H4n's Pre-record function ensures
that you'll never
miss the start of a great take.
It automatically keeps the H4n silently but
continuously
recording in the background, all the time, keeping
the previous two seconds* of audio whenever you hit RECORD.
*One second when recording at 96k in 4CH mode.
Auto Record
When enabled, Auto Record sets the H4n to automatically
starts recording at a level of sound.
An equivalent Stop function can be used to end recording
as soon as incoming signal drops below a certain threshold.
- Effects can make all the difference. They make your recordings sound professional and polished, and can be used both to enhance audio and to compensate for acoustic problems in the recording environment.
- The H4n offers a variety of effects, ranging from
compression and limiting to reverb, delay, echo, and a low-cut filter for the
elimination of wind noise, pops and other kinds of unwanted low frequency
noise. There's also an onboard metronome and tuner, along with dozens of
effects crafted especially for guitar and bass, such as amp models. In
addition, playback can be looped and the playback speed varied without pitch
change (or vice versa), making the H4n perfect for phrase training.
