Zoom H2n Outdoor test in a town by the sea

[@natureismyjam]

Excellent sound quality from the H2n! Really nice soundscape and especially enjoyed the motorcycle passing by your location. Subscribed to your channel and looking forward to more of your videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@stuff2check]

Glad you liked it! You might want to check out my travel channel with a ton more landscapes, even in 360 😁 youtube.com/@WhySitHome?si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE I’d appreciate it!

Thanks for watching! Enjoy 😊

Excellent tests and really useful to help me decide to buy the H2n. Thank you! 🙏 😊

[@stuff2check]

Glad it was helpful! I'm sure you'll enjoy this recorder. Personally, I can't get enough of it as it comes in handy in so many ways.

[@dutchbeef8920]

Superb with headphones

Thank you!

Tip: When using an external mic put the recorder in XY mode to use only that microphone as the 2CH & 4CH will record your external + inbuilt mics.

[@Angstinmypantz]

Nice! What was the mic input gain level at?

[@stuff2check]

Not sure, sorry. I think around 7-8

[@madeiraislander]

I had this recorder some years ago, i bought the H4n Pro and later the zoom F6 and sold the H2n, but i really miss it. Someday i'll buy it again. I really liked the 4 channel ambiences we can create with it, they're very useful! Great little recorder! I'm curious if zoom are going to release a H2 Essentials, like they did with the other recorders.

[@AshtonPlaysted]

wow, these sound amazing! I get a lot of background noise / buzz. have you tried other wind guards and found this one to be better? mine doesn't seem very effective so I'm considering getting the one you have here.

[@stuff2check]

It's the best one! Get it. You'll love it!

[@AshtonPlaysted]

@stuff2check awesome, thank you!

[@baiy-cn]

I saw in your instructions that you recorded in MS mode (120°) throughout. 0:55 Why can MS mode distinguish the change of motorcycle from left to right? Doesn't the side mic only have one channel? Thanks 🙂

[@stuff2check]

It actually has 3 mics there as far as I remember, and you can control the width of recording. I chose 120 degrees which is set by default but you can narrow it down to complete mono manually. Hope this helps!

[@baiy-cn]

@@stuff2check It realy confuse me, physically there seems to only four mics in h2n (so only two mics on ms mode), see: 5:45 at kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXi7pXuFhcyjZ80 You can clearly see there are only two lines linked on the side mic. And: 12:10 of kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4awaWxjnaqbgrM Also, according to the wikiepdia (just search "Microphone practice" on it), the side mic is just a figure 8 one channel mic. Therefore, I can only assume that the stereo effect comes from its "Left = Mid + Side, Right = Mid − Side" digital juggling. But even though I've verified on my h2n that it does, I still don't quite understand why Right (mid - side) channel is louder than Left (mid + side) when the motorcycle moves to the right of the h2n. Or more simply, why is (mid - side) greater than (mid + side) at this point? 🙄

[@stuff2check]

I really don’t know 😀 Honestly, I’m not too crazy about what’s inside as long as it gives great quality. Sorry if I couldn’t be helpful!

[@cryptotrader2779]

Nice thanks. I still use my H1n even though I have an H6 and an F3. Great little recorders.

[@stuff2check]

Thanks! I do miss my H1n sometimes. Feel like I need to buy it again someday 😊 It’s so handy!

[@cryptotrader2779]

@@stuff2check Sure. The H1n is always with me every day, but the F3 with a pair of LOM Usi mics is also very easy and small to bring everywhere. I prefer really small and quick to use rigs. Your H2n sounds great though.

[@stuff2check]

Thanks! Will check out what you’re talking about. Heard of the F3 but no idea about those mics.

[@stephanelarocque77]

@@stuff2check Hello, curious to know why you miss the H1n sometimes if you have the H2n? Thanks

[@stuff2check]

@@stephanelarocque77 Hi! Because it's lighter and simpler to use :) The H2n needs a bit of a more serious approach with all its functions, and sometimes I miss the simplicity of the H1n.

[@ManzilMonabber]

Amazing sound capture! How did you synch the H2Ns wav file with iPhone 13 Pro video? Sorry dumb questions, trying to learn from you

[@stuff2check]

By the sound waveform diagrams, of course. Or it could be done with one click in Adobe Premiere. Please look for "syncing audio and video in Premiere".

[@ManzilMonabber]

@@stuff2check Thank you :)

[@WEHAVETHISDREAM]

Also Davinci has a synch feature now.

[@WiP999]

The video shows you were actually recording stereo XY not MS. On my H2n it has MS on screen in mid side mode. The H2n is an excellent recorder, I use the Spatial surround recording mode and feed binaural mics into the line in and have got some great sounding recordings. It's a shame the H2n isn't a 32 bit recorder as that would be the icing on the cake, maybe Zoom will update it in the future?

[@stuff2check]

You're wrong, I was recording in the MS mode. As soon as you press record, those letters MS disappear, and the count starts. I mean I totally couldn't have mixed these settings up as I'm totally familiar with this device now. If it had been the XY mode, I would have made it face the opposite side as that's the way to use it in that case.

[@tonrelax]

Hello, what microphone sensitivity would you recommend from 1 to 10?)

[@stuff2check]

Hey! I mostly use 10 as I usually do field recording and don’t really record something too loud like live music. But I can’t recommend anything because I don’t know what your plans are 😀

[@Steveoaudioandstuff]

Great videos. I've been working with an H1-n for a little while for the impromptu stuff (when I'm not going out with the full kit intending to record), but I'm interested in the M/S options the H2-n has. It arrives today, thanks in part to your videos. Keep up the good work; thank you. 💥💥💥💥💥

[@stuff2check]

Thank you so much and enjoy your H2n. It’s an amazing device!
