Summary: Zoom's a good one
Comment: The little recorder is very well designed and has a lot to offer for the money. I've been using mini-disc units for the last 6 years and the Zoom is larger and bulkier but has 4 wonderful built in mics. My only frustration is the voice activation feature only works once (then you have to reset it). There are many options for recording quality depending on whether you're recording voice or music. Aside from uncompressed WAV files, it also records MP3 for podcasts. Transfer to computer is easy (unlike mini-disc).

Summary: Defective
Comment: I bought this at a music store and everything I record has a super loud "pop" every 5-10 seconds. I've tried every gain level, various recording levels, and even took the batteries out and tried using AC power. This isn't a case of there being clipping, the level meter doesn't show any spike while recording. There is a huge spike on the meter during playback when the "pop" happens. Does the same thing on PC playback.
It doesn't seem to do it on the 4ch and 120 degree settings, but I didn't try too much since it's useless with this defect. There aren't a lot of settings on this thing, so there isn't anything left to try. Went to Zoom's web site and it's all broken Japanese and no useful information at all.

Summary: Excellent Product!!
Comment: This is a great recording device. I'm the drummer for Alloy, a rock band in Miami, and we use it to record our rehearsals. The sound quality is very good, we can record more than 17 hours on a 2 GB SD card at 256 kbps (MP3 file).

Summary: Zoom H2 - Excellent - Easy -Fun
Comment: I use the H2 to record band practices and to do field recordings of live performances. This gadget has lots of useful features, but is very easy to use in its primary role as a portable recorder. The sound quality is very good and the selectable microphone patterns provide a lot of flexibility.
Most of the time, I just have to turn it on (select an optional mic pattern, if desired) and hit the Record button twice (once to arm - once to start) and it does the rest!
Although it is specified as handling up to 2GB SD memory cards, it seems to be working well with a 4GB Sandisk card which provides over 5 hours recording time at 44.1kHz/16 bit (CD quality).
Good gadget - good price - good results!

Summary: Is Awesome for the Studio
Comment: The device is great. I operate a small record-label recording studio and the Handy Recorder H2 is really an asset. The line in is great for all types of studio recording. TIP: I found if a level is slightly to high such as a guitar effect overdrive/gain that splittin the input signal into a pair of headphones reduces the Decibles enough to get a clean -6 recording. The H2 has a great "normalizer" except 0DB is the only setting I could find. Feild recording is great, the three microphone-gain setting work perfectly. The H2 organizes files really well, and also the SD gigabyte card tranfers to the laptop successfully every time. A great recording device all-the-way-around.

It's a simple idea: provide brilliant stereo recording in an easy-to-use, ultra-portable device. The H2 is the only portable recorder with 3 mic capsules onboard for mid-side recording. A directional mic is in the center (mid) and two directional mics (side) are positioned left and right. The audio is decoded instantly, bringing these three signals together for unparalleled stereo imaging. One button recording, gain controls on the side and an intuitive user interface mean you can always capture the moment. Set your levels, push record and go. The H2 records on Secure Digital (SD) media and a 512MB SD card is included. With a 4GB SD memory card, the H2 provides up to 2 hours recording at 96kHz, 6 hours at 44.1kHz, or up to a staggering 138 hours in MP3. Play your recordings on your home audio system with its 1/8" stereo output or listen to your masterpiece with headphones. Or, use the H2's USB interface to move your recordings to your Mac or PC to listen, edit and share. 512MB SD memory card included; Accommodates up to 4GB SD optional memory cards Auto Gain Control (AGC) for pristine recordings Auto Start function means you're always ready to record Low-cut filter eliminates wind noise On-board chromatic Guitar/Bass tuner Two standard alkaline AA batteries will give you 4 hours of continuous operation and a backlit display means it's always easy to use in any situation Pocketable - Weighs only 4 ounces
