Four-track recorder designed for accessibility for all

The Zoom H4essential 32-Bit Four Track Recorder offers creators a versatile tool for capturing their music, podcasts, and audio-for-video. With four tracks at your disposal, you have the flexibility to record multiple sources simultaneously. Whether you're recording instruments, vocals, or dialogue, the H4essential provides more options for capturing your audio.

Zoom understands the importance of accessibility. That's why the H4essential is designed with audible descriptions, making it accessible for the blind and visually impaired. Navigate the menu with ease through the built-in speaker or headphones. Plus, you can choose from multiple language options, including English, Spanish, French, Japanese, German, Italian, or Chinese.

32-bit float recording - never have to set your levels again!

Say goodbye to adjusting levels and worrying about clipping. With 32-bit float recording, the H4essential captures an incredible range of dynamics in your sound. This means you can record everything from the softest whispers to the loudest rock concert without losing any nuance. Enjoy high-quality, clip-free audio in every take.

Two combi inputs with ultra-clean preamps and huge dynamic range

The H4essential's 2 XLR/TRS combo inputs feature Zoom's ultra-clean preamps, supporting phantom power and +4dBu professional line-level input. This means you can connect your microphones, instruments, or other audio devices with confidence. Additionally, the onboard X/Y microphones can handle sound up to an impressive 130 dB SPL, perfect for capturing the energy of a live performance or a booming sound effect.

Record and stream with built-in interface

Record and stream your audio at the same time. The H4essential allows you to stream in 32-bit float while simultaneously recording to an SD card. And when connected to a PC, Mac, iOS, or Android device using the USB-C Port, it can also be used as a 4-in/2-out audio interface. This versatility makes it a great tool for both live streaming and studio recording.

Onboard mixer with Bluetooth timecode sync

The built-in mixer on the H4essential allows you to easily adjust each track's audio level, ensuring a well-balanced mix. Additionally, the waveform display gives you a visual representation of your audio as it records, letting you monitor and fine-tune your recordings with precision.

When paired with the BTA-1 Bluetooth Adapter, the H4essential can also sync with Bluetooth timecode devices for seamless audio and video synchronization. This ensures that your audio matches up perfectly with your visuals, saving you time and effort in post-production.

Integrated speaker with soft-touch controls

Quick reference playback is made easy with the built-in speaker on the H4essential. Simply listen back to your recordings on the spot, without the need for additional equipment. The speaker delivers clear and accurate sound, giving you confidence in your recordings.

The H4essential features soft touch controls that have been carefully designed for quiet operation. Whether you're recording in a quiet studio or a live event, these controls won't distract or interfere with your recording.
