Power requirements
Since power consumption of this unit is fairly high, we
arning
recommend the use of an AC adapter whenever
possible. When powering the unit from batteries, use
only alkaline types.
[AC adapter operation]
• Be sure to use only an AC adapter which supplies 9 V DC,
300 mA and is equipped with a "center minus" plug
(Zoom AD-0006). The use of an adapter other than the
specified type may damage the unit and pose a safety
hazard.
• Connect the AC adapter only to an AC outlet that supplies
the rated voltage required by the adapter.
• When disconnecting the AC adapter from the AC outlet,
always grasp the adapter itself and do not pull at the cable.
• During lightning or when not using the unit for an
extended period, disconnect the AC adapter from the AC
outlet.
[Battery operation]
• Use two conventional IEC R6 (size AA) batteries
(alkaline).
• The H4 cannot be used for recharging.
•Pay close attention to the labelling of the battery to make
sure you choose the correct type.
• When not using the unit for an extended period, remove
the batteries from the unit.
• If battery leakage has occurred, wipe the battery
compartment and the battery terminals carefully to
remove all remnants of battery fluid.
• While using the unit, the battery compartment cover
should be closed.
Environment
To prevent the risk of fire, electric shock or
arning
malfunction, avoid using your H4 in environments
where it will be exposed to:

Caution
since this can cause hearing impairment.
Usage Precautions
Electrical interference
For safety considerations, the H4 has been designed to provide
maximum protection against the emission of electromagnetic
radiation from inside the device, and protection from external
interference. However, equipment that is very susceptible to
interference or that emits powerful electromagnetic waves
should not be placed near the H4, as the possibility of
interference cannot be ruled out entirely.
With any type of digital control device, the H4 included,
electromagnetic interference can cause malfunctioning and can
corrupt or destroy data. Care should be taken to minimize the
risk of damage.
Cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the H4. If necessary, slightly
moisten the cloth. Do not use abrasive cleanser, wax, or solvents
(such as paint thinner or cleaning alcohol), since these may dull
the finish or damage the surface.
Please keep this manual in a convenient place for
future reference.

ZOOM H4
Overview
Thank you for selecting the
"
H4
"). The H4 is an attractive product with the following features.
●
All-in-one type handy recorder
In a compact package weighing a mere 190 grams, the H4 offers a high-performance stereo
condenser mic, SD card recorder, mixer, effect section, metronome, and more. Easily record
and produce music on the go, wherever you are.
●
Applications range from field recording to multi-track use
The H4 offers a choice of stereo mode for instant stereo recording, and 4-track mode which
allows simultaneous playback of four tracks and recording of two tracks. Use the unit in the
field to capture your melody ideas, quickly record a band, or to expand your sound collection.
Or use it as a multi-track recorder to overdub instruments and vocals.
●
Convenient bounce function
Once you have recorded four tracks, you can bounce the contents onto a stereo or mono file. By
assigning the resulting file to a recorder track, you can then continue to add more instrument or
vocal parts using the remaining tracks. Recorded files can also be copied to a computer for
further processing or burning onto an audio CD.
●
Two types of effects built in
The H4 comes with two built-in effect modules. The PREAMP module simulates the
characteristics of famous guitar and bass amps as well as various mic preamps. The EFX
module offers chorus and other modulation effects and spatial effects such as delay. Since the
input signal can be effect processed before recording, all you need to do is directly hook up your
guitar and bass and you're in business.
●
Functions as audio interface or SD card reader for a computer
The USB port of the H4 lets you easily connect the unit to a computer, for use as an audio
interface with built-in effects. (Effects can only be used when the sampling rate is 44.1 kHz.)
Another option is to use the H4 as an SD card reader, to quickly transfer files for import into
DAW software or for creating audio CDs.
●
Built-in tuner and metronome
The integrated tuner not only allows chromatic tuning but also supports 7-string guitar, 5-string
bass and other unconventional tunings. The metronome function is great when doing multitrack recordings or for use during practice sessions.
Please take the time to read this manual carefully to get the most out of the unit and
to ensure optimum performance and reliability.
Keep this manual at hand for future reference.

Introducing the H4
This section explains the main features and functions of the H4.
In 4-track mode, the H4 functions as a multi-
Stereo Mode and 4-Track
Mode
The H4 has two main operation modes, namely
"stereo mode" and "4-track mode". You select
one of these modes when using the unit.
In stereo mode, two signals either from the builtin stereo mic or from the [INPUT 1]/[INPUT 2]
jacks are used as recording sources to create a
stereo file on the SD card. This is great for
making full-fledged recordings in the field or to
capture the performance of a band in one go. It
also allows the H4 to be used as voice recorder
that's ready at a moment's notice.

track recorder. This mode allows simultaneous
recording of 2 tracks and simultaneous playback
of 4 tracks. This lets you do things such as
creating a backing of drum machine and bass and
then produce a guitar or vocal overlay in the
studio.
After recording all four tracks, the individual
volume and panning (left/right positioning) of
each track can be adjusted for playback, and a
stereo or mono file can be created on the SD
card. By assigning the resulting file to a
particular track, you can free up the remaining
tracks to record more instruments or vocals to
create an overlay.

are saved in a dedicated folder (hierarchical unit)
for the stereo mode. These files can be sent to a
computer via the USB port, for burning onto CDR/RW discs or for processing with DAW
software.

Introducing the H4
The effect section of the H4 offers multiple
single effects (effect modules) such as
compressor and preamp. The available effect
module configuration and input/output
specifications depend on the operation mode.
In stereo mode, the two effect modules MIC
MODEL and COMP/LIMIT can be used. (The
MIC MODEL module can be used only if the
built-in stereo mic is selected as input source.) In
this mode, both effect input and effect output are
in stereo.
Stereo mode module configuration
(Stereo input → Stereo output)
[LINE OUTPUT] jack
The input mixer takes up to two signals from the
built-in stereo mic or the [INPUT 1]/[INPUT 2]
jacks and sends them on in mixed form or
separately to the recorder tracks.
The track mixer adjusts the volume and panning/
balance of each signal recorded on the four
tracks and produces a stereo output signal.
Effects
The H4 also incorporates an effect section
immediately after the input that can be used to
process the input signal before recording it on the
tracks.
