Unlike the H2, the H4n Zoom Handy Recorder makes it easy to use additional microphones. It has the capability to record 4 channels simultaneously due to the combined xlr and 1\/4″ inputs\/outputs on the bottom of the mic. So a person can use the stereo channels for a vocal track while using the internal microphones to record up to two instruments at once.<\/span><\/p>\n
