Zoom H2 Handy Portable Stereo Recorder Review


I own an Edirol but purchased 5 of these for a music department for the sole purpose of recording piano lessons and practice performances in a small concert hall. My purpose is not to use this as a professional recording but to have it suitable as a recording tool for auditions etc. for the students, and also for study purposes. After 30 minutes or so of looking at the manual or so of setting it up, I used it in both situations (studio as well as hall) and found the results to be excellent, after a little experimentation with the recording levels. It is extremely portable and presents a variety of formats for recording. I also find the functions to be fairly intuitive.The item does not feel quite as sturdy as the Edirol, but at the price, I believe it is outstanding value and good quality, with some features that the Edirol does not have. Fidelity of sound is good and not at all tinny. The little stand that it comes with is handy indeed. It also came with a 1GB card, which was a pleasant surprise.

Buy it here now!
