Introduction

Handy Recorder

Introduction

Thank you very much for purchasing a ZOOM Handy Recorder. The features of the

include the following.

• Four-channel recording captures sound in 360°

The built in microphones are divided into mid-side (MS) mics on the rear side

and XY mics on the front side. This independent placement allows you to record

sound coming from every direction. This unrestricted range means you can record diverse sound sources in all kinds of conditions.

• New microphone array allows control of stereo width

The MS m ic includ es a dire ctional m id mic that covers the f ront and a bidirectional side mic that covers both sides. By controlling the amount of side mic signal, you can freely adjust the stereo width of recordings.

• Stereo recording is clear and three-dimensional

Using the XY mic, you can realize three-dimensional stereo recordings that

faithfully capture a sense of depth.

• Uninterrupted long recordings possible at high-quality

Recording is possible without interruption for very long times. You can even ﬁ ll an entire 32GB SDHC card in one session!

• Runs for a long time on standard batteries

You can record for up to 20 hours (44.1kHz/16bit WAV format) with one set of

alkaline batteries. So, even in situations where you must rely on batteries, you can keep recording without worrying about the time.

• Use as an SD card reader and computer audio interface

The built-in USB 2.0 high-speed port allows direct connection with a computer.

Use the recorder as an SD card reader with a computer to transfer recordings to

your computer for use in DAW software or to burn them to CDs. You can even use the recorder as a computer audio interface at USB 1.0 speed.

• Tuner, metronome and other practice features

In addition to standard chromatic tuning, the tuner also supports seven-string guitar, five-string bass and alternate tunings. The convenient metronome can even provide a count in and the speed and pitch of playback can be adjusted, making it a useful practice companion.

Please read this manual carefully to fully understand the you can maximize your use of its features. After reading the manual once, please keep it with the warranty in a safe place.

Recording mode overview

The has four recording modes that can be selected according to your

purposes.

Mid-side (MS) stereo mode

This mode uses a mid mic to capture the sound

directly ahead and a bidirectional side mic to

capture sound from left and right.

The recording level of the side mic (S level) can

be adjusted, allowing the stereo width to be

changed. If you record with the S level set to

MS-RAW, you can also adjust the S level after

recording.

MS mics can capture a rich stereo image, so it is ideal for recording sounds in

wide and open conditions, including orchestras, live concerts and soundscapes.

XY stereo mode

This mode records in stereo with mics at 90º angles.

This allows a natural, deep and accurate sound image

to be captured, making it optimal for recording sources

nearby, including solo performances, chamber music,

interviews, live rehearsals and ﬁ eld recordings.

2ch and 4ch surround modes

Sound can be captured in all directions using

both MS and XY mics. You can select 2ch, which mixes the signals from the MS and XY mics, or 4ch, which records the signals from the MS and XY mics separately. With 4ch surround, you can adjust the balance between the MS and XY signals after recording. The S level can be adjusted for both 2ch and 4ch

recordings.

These modes are suitable for recording live

rehearsals, studio sessions, business meetings and soundscapes, for example.
